Which J.K. Rowling children’s book retells the fairy tale of the Three Brothers and the Deathly Hallows?

The J.K. Rowling children’s book that retells the fairy tale of the Three Brothers is The Tales of Beedle the Bard.

The collection appears within Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows as a book of wizarding fairy tales. Hermione Granger receives a copy in Albus Dumbledore’s will, and the story “The Tale of the Three Brothers” explains the origin and symbolism of the Elder Wand, Resurrection Stone, and Invisibility Cloak.

Rowling later published the collection as a real book in 2008. It contains five tales, including “The Wizard and the Hopping Pot,” “The Fountain of Fair Fortune,” and “Babbitty Rabbitty and Her Cackling Stump.” Albus Dumbledore is presented as the commentator for the stories.

The book is not the same as Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them or Quidditch Through the Ages, which are the other major companion titles associated with Hogwarts.
