Books: Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling

I am nothing if not in love with all things Harry Potter, so my ability to be objective in reading this book is almost nil.

I enjoyed this very much, and it absolutely made me want to read Deathly Hallows again. My favourite was the Fountain of Fair Fortune, but the best part of the book overall was Albus Dumbledore’s notes on the fables — very amusing.

The humour amuses me so much. I provide this quote as example:

“As the eminent wizarding philosopher Bertrand de Pensèes-Profondes (’Heh ‘ — A) writes in his celebrated work A Study into the Possibility of Reversing the Actual and Metaphysical Effects of Natural Death, with Particular Regard to the Reintegration of Essence and Matter: ‘Give it up. It’s never going to happen.’”

A great little book for the Potter fan.
