The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling

Beadle, sometimes spelled "bedel" is derived from the Latin "bidellus" or "bedellus," rooted in words for "herald."

So sayeth the Wiki.

Alfonso, you've never "gone through the books." Only with Jim Dale's voice.

Yeah, I definitely think he has a high ego, though he tries to keep humble- I mean how could you not if you're Dumbledore? It also follows along with the idea that he's a bit detached from other people personally (I'm saying that because Rowling mentioned it before in an interview).

I think I have to pick up Harry, A History: The True Story of a Boy Wizard, His Fans, and Life Inside the Harry Potter Phenomenon tomorrow, and read up more about the non-ficiton side of things--I didn't keep up with the lawsuits/objections/bannings/beheadings/etc.

You mean Dorkette. and High Geek of the Profiterole.

Re: Harry's resurrection

I think it happened before that with the whole friendship thing and being the "chosen one" and all from the fourth one. I did a full research paper on this about 5 years ago, so it must be before that.

[Jane]

I would show you guys the paper, but Damaris borrowed it a few months ago and her sister threw it away by "accident."

[A]

I think we should hire a Bard for the HP party. I wonder if Andrew can set the tales to music...

[Alfonso]

I wished that she would have written the story of Grumble the Grubby Goat, that was Aberforth's favorite tale.

Wait, you did a research paper on Harry Potter? I'm such a hardcore fan and not once have I gotten the chance to do anything for school that involved Harry Potter.

[Jane]

Profiterole! The round puff pastry filled with pastry cream?

[A]

I was trying to find a word that fit me, that had the same cadence as Wizengamot. I guess I haven't had dessert...

[Jane]

Yes, I got to do a Harry Potter paper for my English 1A (that's the same as 101) class at PCC. We got to choose our own topics as long as we were able to back it up with good resources. I got the highest grade in the class!

Yes I was particularly disappointed by that tale's absence.

[Jane]

We should see if that guy who came as Dumbledore to last year's release party can be the bard.

Her-my-own!

Speaking of which, I think the Granger name was thrown in as a red herring.

I think I saw him on the Beeline...

[Jane]

Ok... I'm signing off for now. Got to finish homework. But I'll be back to write more tomorrow!

Yeah, I was wondering if it a relative of Hermione.

[A]

Me too... I have to write a paper so I will be on GR every ten minutes or so, because I have *no* willpower.

Also I will be eating ice cream.

[Alfonso]

Dark Knight comes out on Tuesday, so excited.

[A]

I know! Now we just need a Katie-free Batman Begins and we're all set.

So off-topic.

Sorry, just saw a commercial for it.

[Roxy]

Dark Knight- Yeah, I'll be running to the store on my birthday to get it, should be awesome to watch again.

On Granger- I was wondering about that. It could be coincidental, or it could be that there's another part in Hermione's family tree that branches off to a wizarding family, since apparently that's found to be common. Then again, Slughorn mentions a Granger at some point when he meets Hermione, thinking that she's a pure-blood.

Good point.

[Roxy]

*looks it up* Yeah, it's the same Granger, Hector Dagworth-Granger, so she's not related to him then.

[Alfonso]

I will talk to you guys later.
