Which 2008 charity book by J.K. Rowling collects notes and stories attributed to Albus Dumbledore?

The Tales of Beedle the Bard is J.K. Rowling’s 2008 charity book containing five wizarding fairy tales and Dumbledore’s notes.

The book first appears inside Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, where Hermione receives a copy in Albus Dumbledore’s will. The fictional collection includes “The Tale of the Three Brothers,” the story that explains the Deathly Hallows, along with four other tales.

The published edition presents Rowling as the translator from ancient runes and Dumbledore as the commentator. Albus Dumbledore’s notes add historical and moral context to each story, while a foreword by Rowling explains the book’s place in the wizarding world.

Rowling donated the proceeds to Lumos, the charity she founded to help disadvantaged children. The book is often confused with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them or Quidditch Through the Ages, two other fictional Hogwarts library books that Rowling published for charity.
