Welcome to Litsy!

These were fun little fairy tales from the wizarding world. I liked the notes from Dumbledore at the end of each story. I could definitely see reading these to a child at bedtime. The narration of this audiobook was great, with sound effects and everything, and it was nice hearing some familiar voices from the movie franchise.

I don't condone JKR's anti-trans views, all proceeds from this book go to the charity Lumos

It always amazes me how creative Rowling is.

Here‘s my review for a book I just finished listening to.

#6 Audio - Tales of Beedle the Bard

Finished last night and relistened to The Fountain of Fair Fortune this morning. One of the last books with the Wizarding Worlds I have left to read. Charming fables, I could do w/o Dumbledores explanations but at least it‘s Jude Law.

Will post updated bingo board tonight 🤞 I can finish Wings & Ruin today.

It‘s the last day of the year! And I was one book short of reaching my Goodreads Reading Challenge for the year. So, I shamelessly chose the shortest book on my bookshelf that I‘d never read before! 😂 Turns out it was my son‘s copy of this book. It was ok. Whilst I appreciate the HP phenomenon and the good it‘s done in getting more people to read books….it‘s not really my thing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Short and sweet, light yet worthy of contemplation. A dear companion to the HP canon that expands that universe without complication. Lovely illustrations that feel like fairy tales.

I'm so stoked to begin the illustrated edition of this book! Have always enjoyed the tales and to see them in a new way will be so fun 😊 ... A lovely way to rest my brain as I am also journeying through The Silmarillion....

Enjoyed this book after finally getting around to reading it after watching Harry Potter

An okay book to read.

5/5 #harrypotter

I'm coming to the end of the Harry Potter series. Not got another book planned till December. I need a short read for the gap lol. Debating the Tales of Beedle the Bard anyone read it? #harrypotter #hogwarts #magic #spells

Oh I really enjoyed this one. Cute fairy tales from a magical point of you and I really liked the analysis in after each story.

I listened to this as an audio book and loved all the different narrators.

Fascinating magical tales! The narration and sound effects add value to the stories in the audiobook format.

Listened to this short audio while doing things around the house. It‘s always nice to revisit anything Harry Potter.

A nice little collection of wizarding fables. The most interesting one is of course the last one The Tale of The Three Brothers, that is so relevant in the Harry Potter series.

The additional comments from Dumbledore are a bit foolish, for someone who is meant to be so wise, but I did enjoy the short stories.

#PotterADay

An enjoyable read, although I think this is the last time I bother with the paratext. The stories are definitely the best part. I am curious though if Dumbledore giving all that info on the "myth" of the Deathly Hallows makes sense. I thought it was supposed to be a fringe thing most wizards hadn't heard of? #potteraday

4⭐️ I really liked the stories, as it gives the Harry Potter world a defined mythology and adds to the world as a whole. I really didn‘t need the “notes” from Dumbledore at the end of the chapter #2021 #fiction #fantasy #harrypotter #readalong #potteraday #bookreview #bookstagram

Starting the #readathon with this #24deweysreadathon #deweysreadathon #potteraday

Sunny day in Ireland! Picked a good tree in the Botanic Gardens to use as back rest to start The Tales of Beedle the Bard with #PotterADay and hopefully finish Asimov's Foundation

Our last Potter-adjacent read! Please join if you want to escape into some wonderfully wonky fairy tales with us. For me, these far exceed The Ickabog, and not just because they're in the same universe. #potteraday

"Magic causes as much trouble as it cures."

Funny yet insightful. Deep and dramatic. Beautifully crafted tales with very important and gravely serious critical expansions from none other than Professor Dumbledore

PS: Wizards with acute pureblood superiority complex should read with caution.

Don't remember reading but 1 stared

My SIL gave me this years ago and I thought I had read it, but apparently not! I thought the stories were very well done, so much it‘s hard to pick a favorite. I liked the Hairy Heart and the Fountain stories, and the three brothers. Last finish for March, wrap-up tomorrow.

Another book on the way to my Grandchildren. 2nd of 4 that are due for delivery this week. They liked the Harry Potter books and J K R's writing.

I read this to my youngest. Which are Mini tales meant to tell a lesson. I remember one from the main series. I wonder if I just missed the others. Not a fan of the dark “Hairy Heart” very gruesome and cringed as I looked over to my little to see she was thankfully asleep (not that she would have remembered).

I was able to get this free on Audible last month. I loved it the first time I read it and it was so fun listening to the audiobook! My favorites were the commentary by Dumbledore, although I might be biased because Jude Law is 😍 and has a sexy voice. I‘d highly recommend any Potterhead fans to listen to the audiobook. And now I‘m thinking it‘s time to start my biannual reread of Harry Potter! 5⭐️

⭐️⭐️⭐️ - a very nice addition to the wizarding world of Potter. Listened through audible, it was nice to have Jude Law narrating Dumbledor‘s take on the classic stories referenced throughout the series. Worth having a read/listen, would be a higher rating if I was more of a Potter nerd ⚡️

This audiobook is free on Audible at the moment. I think I might have enjoyed it more in physical form with all the illustrations though. 5 simple stories each followed by notes from Dumbledore.

This book was yet another re-read for me. But I think it‘s a great addition to the Harry Potter Universe because it gives more understanding to the references in the original Harry Potter books (even if those references are few and far between). Rating: 4 ⭐️

Fun read. I listened to the audiobook version of this, even though I had read this book when it was first published as a hard copy it was nice to hear the stars of the Harry Potter films transform these stories and bring them to life.

#Audible

A fun listen while I was doing mundane jobs around the house 😊

I enjoyed many of the stories. The best part was Dumbledore‘s notes. 🧙🏼‍♂️

2020 Book #21

⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 good context for HP, and good for any diehard HP fan!

On UK #Audible if you are a member!!!

cute and clever little book of tales✨

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A nice addition to the Wizarding World! It‘s a very short, but fun listen with theatrical sounds and excellent narration. Loved Jude Law as Dumbledore.

A quick, easy, loveable read once again from J.K. Rowling.
