The Tales of Beedle the Bard

(2) 4-6 Presented as folktales from Harry Potter's world, this book works on several levels: the tales themselves; Albus Dumbledore's analysis of each; and the anecdotes embedded in those commentaries. Though spare in style, tone, and character construction (unlike her novels), the stories are filled with the quirky details Rowling's fans expect, offering devoted Potterphiles tidbits of wizarding culture and history.
