What is the title of J.K. Rowling’s 2007 companion book about wizarding fairy tales?
Answer
The Tales of Beedle the Bard
J.K. Rowling’s 2007 companion book about wizarding fairy tales is The Tales of Beedle the Bard.
The collection contains five tales presented as stories from the wizarding world. One of them, “The Tale of the Three Brothers,” is especially important in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows because it explains the legend of the three Deathly Hallows.
In the fictional history, the book belonged to Albus Dumbledore, who left his copy to Hermione Granger. Rowling’s real publication was released in 2007 after the main seven-book Harry Potter sequence had concluded.
It is distinct from Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which are other fictional reference books associated with the same universe.
