Audible released a great studio version of this complete with sound effects, and it’s free, so hop on over and give it a listen. This is the collection of five stories Hermione found that included commentary from Albus Dumbledore in the significance of each story. The last of the stories, The Tale of Three Brothers, is one you’ll remember from the original Harry Potter books.

Spring 2021 (May);
-- Illustrated Edition

My mother picked me up for my birthday a copy of the Hogwarts Library Illustrated Collection (all three Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Quidditch Through the Ages, and The Tales of Beedle the Bard). While these have all been read more than once by me, it was an utterly delight to get to settle down into them for my birthday and see how they were illustrated.

it was a little strange to be reading the book as if i was a student at hogwarts or a wizard child...as strange as reading quidditch through the ages and fantastic beasts and where to find them...probably would have gotten more interest in general if it had been released closer to the release of hp7 but what can you do?

Audiobooks's 2011:

This one is well read and amusing. I like getting all the stories read by her, and then we get all sorts of educational/historical responses and pick-apart by Dumbledore. I think I enjoyed this even more than the time I read the paper copy, because it much went slower this time, too. Though I remember be surprised it ended so fast, too. ...more

More wonderful Rowling! The only downside is that I wish it never had to end! These are great, pithy stories that perfectly reconcile with the Wizarding world and leave me clamoring for more windows into a world that has captured me so much.
