Hi!I guess, I’m writing after quite some time. Couldn’t find the time, to be frank. I’ve been kind of busy… but guess what?!Very recently,I read that book Tales of Beedle the Bard.Its really interesting.It has 5 wizarding fairy tales.If you’ve read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,you’ll be aware that Dumbledore had left that book for Hermione in his will.
Actually, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows the ‘Deathly Hallows’ were the three gifts given by Death to the three brothers from the last story(The Tale of the Three Brothers) in Tales of Beedle the Bard.I liked all the five stories but the best one was the Tale of the Three Brothers.Babbity Rabbity and her Cackling Stump was also pretty good(though the title sounds childish ,the story is awesome!)
If you read ‘The Warlock’s Hairy Heart’you’ll wonder why to call it a fairy tale!It’s too dark!You’ll notice that the concept is too much similar to Horcruxes. After each story ,there’s Dumbledore’s view of the story and some extra info like who thought the story is too dark, not appropriate for children and so on.
Actually none of the stories are like proper fairy-tales but we’re used to muggle fairy tales in which the protagonist is in trouble and some prince comes to save her. There are some exceptions to this theme, but generally it’s like that.So these wizarding fairy-tales have got to be different,for a change!
And the extra info at the end of each story adds kind of a realistic touch to it.For eg,it’ll be written,in this and this year,this and this wizard claimed he has the Deathstick but it is not known whether it exists…
So overall,I think it’s a nice book and Harry Potter fans have to read it!
