I haven't had chance for much reading on Christmas Day - I finished the last of the Tales of Beedle the Bard in the morning and read a little bit of The Uncommon Reader before bed last night. We're having Boxing Day at my dad's today and I'm absolutely ...

#68 The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling
This short book of magical fairy tales has been sitting on my shelf since last Christmas. I thought it was time to give it a go. I was simple and cute. It doesn't add anything to the Harry Potter lore. It is not a must read or anything. I was ...

Book #32 The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J. K. Rowling

If you're not already a Harry Potter fan, then you'll probably find Tales of the Beedle Bard by J.K. Rowling unremarkable. It made me want to read her novels again; it didn't compare well. It was a very short, very quick read that fit snuggly in the morality tales genre. It was much ...

Just finished The Tales of Beedle the Bard . It was cute, but ultimately unmemorable. Now I have to try and make myself finish the other book I started. I've been horrid about reading this week. (I'm slowly getting back into Making To-Do Lists, though, so that should help in theory.)
the fairy-tales of The Tales Of Beedle The Bard were cute, and I particularly enjoyed Albus Dumbledore's observations following each story.

Freelunch >>> The Tales of Beedle the Bard was quite good, I thought. Some interesting stories. I especially like the first one about the 'hopping pot'.

I received Tales of Beedle the Bard , and gift certificates to Barnes & Noble.
With those I bought several Manga books, since that seems to be the type of book I'm into this past month. Really, they're easy reads.
Let's get this shindig started!

A fun little book of wizarding fairy tales! I've missed Harry's universe, so this was a fun trip back to it. I love fairy tales (always have), and footnotes (Dumbledore's are fantastic - especially the slightly arrogant ones).
Lisa,
You might want to add The Tales of Beedle the Bard to the Harry Potter group since it is actually related to the last book.
As for the timing, you might want to doing them in spring, to be ready when the new movie comes out!

87F.) The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling
I can't believe I have not read anything for so long! One more week of finals...
Beedle the Bard was great. Four fairy tales, each with a few pages of analysis by Dumbledore. An excellent capstone to the Harry Potter collection!
... really looking forward to reading it! It was a book mooch that came crazy fast. I'm getting ready to leave work and pick up Tales of Beedle the Bard , which I'll probably skim most of the evening!
There we go, Beedle the Bard arrived today.

I know it's a little early, but here's the official Beedle the Bard thread. Discuss your plans for a midnight release (if you have a bookstore or library offering one), or waiting by the door for FedEX to arrive with a package from Amazon.
Also, when it arrives post reviews/thoughts here.
