What is the title of the 2008 J.K. Rowling companion book whose proceeds benefited Comic Relief?

The Tales of Beedle the Bard is the 2008 J.K. Rowling companion book whose proceeds benefited Comic Relief. It presents five wizarding fairy tales, including “The Tale of the Three Brothers.”

Within the Harry Potter story, the book is an old collection of magical tales that Albus Dumbledore leaves to Hermione Granger. The Three Brothers story is especially important because it introduces the legend of the Deathly Hallows.

Rowling wrote and illustrated the first limited-edition copies by hand. A commercial edition followed in December 2008, and the book’s charitable purpose connected the Harry Potter audience with Comic Relief’s fundraising work.

The title is often mixed up with two earlier companion books: Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Those books were published for charity as well, but they are different works with different fictional authors and subjects.
