'The Tales of Beedle the Bard' Book Review

One of the odd things about "Tails of Beedle the Bard" is that it's printed in China. If I had known that I may not have gotten a copy because even as the book is sold for children's charity I'm not sure it was not made with child labor. It is so hard to responsibly source things in the modern day.

"The Tales of Beedle the Bard" does not feature a character named Beedle but rather is a take off on the 'Grimm Fairy Tales'. As the Grimm tales are collected by the brothers Grimm "The Tales of Beetle the Bard" are collected  by Beetle and are are stories of magic folks as if they were normal. 

Now, this book is very short and will take very little of  your time. In the respect of entertainment for your money it's not a great buy. However, if you think of this book as more of your Harry Potter collectibles I figure it's a better deal than a broom you can't sweep with. Then, if you live where it's cold a Harry Potter scarf would be more useful. 

Who should read this book: Harry Potter fans

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander Book Review

"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander" is a collectible of the Harry Potter universe and meant to be a reproduction of Harry's textbook from the famed Hogwarts School of Magic and Witchcraft.

There is very little to this textbook having in it very few bits and odds from the Harry Potter world and only few notes written down by Mr. Potter himself. 

   
I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy reading this book, but I would have enjoyed it more if it had been longer and more in depth with more illustrations and more notes. 

That is to say the worst part of this book is that their is so little of it that you are left unsatisfied. Now again, this book is meant to be sold as a charitable act and proceeds go to a learning foundation. That was why I got a copy of this book.

Who should read this book? The charitable an the Potter fans.
