Which J.K. Rowling book presents the wizarding fairy tales called The Tales of Beedle the Bard?

The J.K. Rowling book presenting the wizarding fairy tales called The Tales of Beedle the Bard is The Tales of Beedle the Bard. It was published in 2008 as a companion book to the Harry Potter series.

Within the Harry Potter story, Beedle is a fictional wizarding author whose tales are familiar to magical families. Hermione receives a copy of the collection in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and the story “The Tale of the Three Brothers” becomes especially important to the plot.

The real-world edition contains five tales, including “Babbitty Rabbitty and Her Cackling Stump” and “The Fountain of Fair Fortune.” Each tale is followed by commentary attributed to Albus Dumbledore.

The book was released to raise money for the Children’s High Level Group, later renamed Lumos. Its publication connected Rowling’s fictional folklore with a charitable purpose.
