If you haven't read it, don't worry, I was behind too. "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" came out a month ago and I finally got to it. My verdict? It's great! The stories are clever and funny. JK's humor seeps through the pages of the stories. The stories teach us lessons that we all need a reminder of. They tell us that we (even wizards) are all vulnerable. They teach us that magical things don't bring us true happiness. All in all, I greatly enjoyed the stories, although I found Dumbledore's commentary and analysis to be a bit annoying at times. JK Rowling's illustrations are fantastic. They bring magic through the page that, although I love GrandPre's illustrations, can only be brought by the author. Any Harry Potter fan will enjoy reading this book again and again.
I liked your review! haha And I love how you said you were annoyed by Dumbledore's commentary. I'm glad you liked it. :)
