4.0 out of 5 starsNot Enough.
Reviewed in Australia on 30 November 2019
I think that the book was pretty good but it didn't have quite enough.But I think it was cool that Dumbledore had his opinion on every single one.But some was not good it was either kinda gross or just not good enough.I recommend this book for 8+.(It's the warlock book that has the kinda gross part in it.)

3.0 out of 5 stars Five fun short folktales!
Reviewed in Australia on 13 May 2021
Five short well-written folktales set in the Potterverse. It’s an odd sort of book. The tales are definitely aimed at children but the notes by Dumbledore commenting on each tale are written in more complex language with a more academic tone. I can’t imagine kids really getting much out of the notes, so I don’t really understand their inclusion. The cast of audiobook narrators is excellent.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dumbledore rocks
Reviewed in Australia on 5 August 2018
I'm so glad that I finally got around to reading Beedle's tales. While I enjoyed the stories themselves & their correlation with 'muggle fairy tales', the real fun was reading Dumbledore's notes following each tale. I wasn't sure what to expect but found myself chuckling out loud at the dry wit infused in these notes. Rowling did a great job of giving Dumbledore a voice through these expositions. Intelligent, sarcastic, wise, and completely upfront about his own skills and knowledge, I got to the end wanting more of Dumbledore's observations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another amazing book by my favourite author!

I realy liked this book as it was mentioned in the Deathly Hallows by Hermione and I was really interested by it.When I saw you could buy it additionally with four other storise as well as footnotes from Dumbledore... I BOUGHT IT!.y fabourite personally was The Fountain Of Fair Fortune was easily my personal favourite as they all get what they want without the fountain- My least favourite has to be The Warlock And His Hairy Heart as it was seriously gross.Not anything to do with the way it was written.Ultimately I recommend you buy this book.

Reviewed in India on 4 November 2018

“No man or woman alive, magical or not, has ever escaped some form of injury, whether physical, mental or emotional. To hurt is as human as to breathe.”

The first time I heard of The Tales of Beedle the Bard was - of course - in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. And I laughed out loud, crying and giggling for minutes when I first heard of Babbity Rabbity and Her Cackling Stump.

My favourite tale is The Fountain of Fair Fortune. It just warms my heart every single time I read it. It's quite the opposite of The Warlock's Hairy Heart, but in a way, I still love the utter disgust and shock it produces.

Dumbledore's notes are pretty spectacular as well. I love how he shamelessly tells Lucius Malfoy off in his letter about banning a tale from the Hogwarts Library. And by Merlin's Beard is Aberforth so fascinated by goats? It's always going to remain a mystery to me.

This is an amazing, original collection of wondrous and beautiful, cruel and magical tales. If someone can create fairytales that feel like they could be in Grimm's collection, then it's definitely J. K. Rowling. I never thought it possible that someone could write a fairytale, that feels as old and as magical as the ones I grew up with. But I also never thought that a writer could have such an impact on my life.
