The Tales of Beedle the Bard
This book is like a fairy tale for wizards. It has magical things like a hopping pot that can help solve all your problems. This book is great if you like fairy tales and is great if you read Harry Potter. The book has many text to text connections from Harry Potter. When you read Harry Potter it helps you understand the magical things in the book. One text to text connection is that they both have magical characters a wizard or a witch. I notcied the magical people awlays had to do something wise, brave or foolish. In the first story there was an odd sickness called crop warts. I saw a cool word it was grievously ill. In the second story the witchs and Kight have awsome hard question like pay me the treasure of your past. There are three more stores that are great to read.

I am also reading this book. It is a collection of short stories my favorite one is the magic pot. It is about a pot that has a mind of its own. The other main character is a rude young man. The man doesn't pay attention to other peoples problems. The first time the pot tries to make him nicer, it starts to hop around. I had to reread that sentence because I so surprised. I mean who ever heard of a pot hopping? Then I realized the book was about magic. I kept reading and started to really like this book.
ReplyDeleteWhen I got this book, just like Ethan and Matia, I assumed it was just as good as the rest of the Harry Potter books. I was totally right about that. There are five stories, and each of them has a moral that makes total sense. It even taught me something! My least favorite and favorite stories were The Warlock's Hairy Heart and The Tale of the Three Brothers, respectively. Several of the stories in this book keep you pondering around for the slightest clue at the moral.
