[Christianity Today UK] 26 Dec 2008--Professor Dumbledore’s notes on five of the most famous children’s tales in the wizarding world echo some of the biggest themes explored in J K Rowling’s Harry Potter series. But they also strike a chord within the reader that rings true as even the most realistic of fiction.
We are told that the ‘Tales of Beedle the Bard’ have been translated from the original runes by Miss Hermione Granger and have now been published anew for both magical and muggle (non-magical) audiences alike.
The five tales – ‘The Wizard and the Hopping Pot’, ‘The Fountain of Fair Fortune’, ‘The Warlock’s Hairy Heart’, ‘Babbitty Rabbitty and the Cackling Stump’, and ‘The Tale of the Three Brothers’ – are as dear to the wizarding world as fairytales such as Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty are to ours.
The five tales have been met with great excitement as the last, ‘The Tale of the Three Brothers’, is of great significance in the seventh Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
