The Tales of Beedle the Bard is a collection of stories for young witches and wizards.

The stories are like the fairy tales of the muggle world.

The collection includes five stories.

The first story, The Wizard and the Hopping Pot, concerns a wizard who refused to help his muggle neighbors and was taught a lesson by his pot. Professor Dumbledore’s commentary on the story sheds light on the relationship between the magical and non-magical folks over the centuries.

The Fountain of Fair Fortune is the story of three witches and a knight, who band together to seek good fortune.

The Warlock’s Hairy Heart teaches the importance of embracing pain. Dumbledore’s notes for this story are reminiscent of the Horcruxes.

The fourth story, Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump, is about a foolish king, a fake magician, and a real witch.

The last story is The Tale of the Three Brothers, which goes on to play a crucial part in

The Harry Potter Series.
