The Tales of Beetle the Bard







A great end to the Harry Potter series. It really ties up some questions that the reader may have. Here are the five stories in it:

The Wizard and His Hopping Pot
The Fountain of Fair Fortune
The Warlock's Hairy Heart
Babbity Rabbity and Her Cackling Stump
and, of course, The Tale of the Three Brothers

It was originally translated from Ancient Runes by Hemrione Granger, complete with commentary by Albus Dumbledore and J. K. Rowling! Albus Dumbledore's little notes about the stories are freakin' hilarious. I was about to die laughing. My favorite part (it was a footnote on Albus' notes): No witch has ever tried to claim the Elder Wand. Make of that what you will.
I can't wait to see the sixth Harry Potter movie. Cara and Adrie are coming over today to make T-shirts for it, so it's gonna be AWESOME!


Did you know that J. K. Rowling initially made five handmade copies of Beetle the Bard? She passed four out to friends that helped inspire the book and she auctioned one off and donated the money to children's charities. The handmade copy is a work of art. I will post some pictures:
Beautiful!
