"Kar pa se tiče knjige," je rekla Hermiona, "teh Povesti barda Biritcha...(The Tales of Beedle the Bard, op.ur.) Zanje prvič slišim!"
"Še nikdar nisi slišala za Povesti barda Biritcha?" je nejeverno vprašal Ron. "Tega ne misliš resno!"
"Ja, pa!" se je presenečeno uprla. "Hočeš reči, da ti si slišal zanje?"
"Jasno!"
(odlomek iz knjige Harry Potter - Svetinje smrti)
Knjiga vsebuje pet zgodb:
- The Tale of the Three Brothers
- The Warlock"s Hairy Heart
- The Fountain of Fair Fortune
- The Wizard and the Hopping Pot
- Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump
"The Tales of Beedle the Bard is without doubt an exciting addition to the canon of Harry Potter. They also reveal the wonderful versatility of the author, as she tackles with relish the structure and varying tones of a classic fairy tale. There are five tales included in the book: 'The Tale of the Three Brothers', which is recounted in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; plus four more — 'The Fountain of Fair Fortune', 'The Warlock's Hairy Heart', 'The Wizard and the Hopping Pot', and 'Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump'. Each tale has its own magical character and will variously bring delight, laughter and the thrill of mortal peril."
