A nice quick read for a weekend. I probably would have enjoyed it more back when I was still thoroughly immersed in PotterWorld, but at is is, it's a nice little addition to the Potter cannon. (And another book for my 50-by-50 quest!) ( )

I found these stories unmemorable. The stories themselves are also quite short, with the "commentary by Albus Dumbledore" frequently taking up more pages. For completionist Harry Potter fans only, I guess - as the only story I can remember in any kind of detail is the final one about the Deathly Hallows, which forms the basis for the final book of the series.

5 korte sprookjes die ook voorkomen in de serie. Leuke sprookjes, mooie tekeningen en layout. Prettig voor tussendoor. ( )

Puoi trovare questa recensione anche sul mio blog, La siepe di more

Le fiabe di Beda il Bardo sono l’ultimo libro della biblioteca di Hogwarts che mi mancava da leggere (con mia somma sorpresa ho letto anche Il Quidditch attraverso i secoli, ma non ne conservo alcun ricordo… sto invecchiando malino), quindi mi sembrava giunto il momento di colmare la lacuna.

In generale, è un libro piacevole, un po’ per le fiabe, un po’ per il commento di Silente, che fornisce altri interessanti dettagli sul mondo di Harry Potter: per me è impossibile non sorridere davanti al fatto che Minerva McGranitt ci tiene a precisare di non aver mai svolto alcuna attività clandestina come Animagus, oppure provare uno strizzotto al cuore leggendo anche solo il titolo di un libro che parlerebbe della lotta di un uomo contro la licantropia.

Però devo confessare che la finzione letteraria ha vacillato di fronte al fatto che queste fiabe sono solo cinque: cioè, voglio dire, Ron Weasley ci aveva raccontato che maghi e streghe crescono con le storie di Beda il Bardo, e sono solo cinque? I genitori raccontano loro in loop solo cinque fiabe? M’è parso super strano... ( )

Book description
With Extensive Commentary by Albus Dumbledore

The Tales of Beedle the Bard, a Wizarding classic, first came to Muggle readers attention in the book known as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Now, thanks to Hermione Granger's new translation from the ancient runes, we present this stunning edition with an introduction, notes and illustrations by J.K. Rowlings and extensive commentary by Albus Dumbledore.
Never before have the Muggles been privy to these richly imaginative tales: "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot," "The Fountain of Fair Fortune," "The Warlock's Hairy Heart", "Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump," and of course "The Tale of the Three Brothers." But not only are they the equal of fairy tales we now know and love, reading them gives new insight into the world of Harry Potter.
