Harry Potter: The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling

Harry Potter: The Tales of Beedle the Bard, by J.K. Rowling, is an extraordinary book for any long time Harry fan. It doesn't give any particular insight into the life and stories of Harry Potter but it does give insight into some wizard culuture. In addition, Dumbuldore gives his thoughts on all the stories at the end of each. The book is made up of five short, old, wizard fairy tales, each with their own morale. The tales consist of "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot," "The Fountain of Fair Fortune," "The Warlock's Hairy Heart," "Babbitty Rabbitty and Her Cackling Stump," and "The Tale of the Three Brothers" , which is also mentioned in "Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows." The book is great and it is short so it is perfect for anyone that needs to get a quick Harry fix.
