This book is a fantastic supplement for any Harry Potter fan!  Central to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, The Tales of Beedle the Bard consists of stories akin to Muggle fairy tales.  While the notes, provided by Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, might not make much sense if you haven’t read the series (and [...]
