Is it even possible to choose a favorite?? Probably not, but it should be fun to read everyone's rationale for their choices. So, let's try!

Post your opinion in the comments below. Which Harry Potter book is your all-time favorite and why? Maybe it's the very first, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Or maybe it's one of the more recent ones. You tell us. The next movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince hits theaters July 15, so that gives us... 88 days to decide.

The Tales of Beedle the Bard

BOOK NAME: The Tales of Beedle the Bard
AUTHOR:
J.K. Rowling

Tales of Beedle the Bard book cover     The Tales of Beedle the Bard is a fairy tale book only it takes place in the wizarding world of Harry Potter.  The characters always learn from their journey and leave you with a moral.  At the end of each story, Albus Dumbledore tells you the meaning of the story.  He explains why certain stuff is there and he gives you his review of the story.  In my opinion it does get a little boring at that part but it's always worth it in the end.
There are five stories in the whole book.  Here is a look at three of my favorites.  In the story called The Fountain of Fair Fortune there were three witches that were seeking the fountain of glory and they each needed it for different reasons. 

     In the story Babbitty Rabbitty and her Crackling Stump a foolish king wanted power all by himself.   He gets magic lessons from a fake sorcerer then he decides to have a magic show in front of his people.

In the last story The Tale of Three Brothers, which was my favorite, three brothers each wish for three objects: an invisibility cloak, a rock to bring back the dead and a wand of more power than anything imaginable. 
   
     I will have to rate this four out of five.  This book is good for people who like the whole Harry Potter series and fantasy stories like those.  Write back and give me a story topic that you think J.K Rowling should use if she were to make more of these types of stories.
