The Tales of Beedle the Bard was my first book for 2009. I'm not sure what I was expecting, something better I guess. It's a fun little book with, well, lame stories in it. They are supposed to be folklore for the magical community. The stories themselves would have been okay, but Rowling had to add commentary by Albus Dumbledore and herself for some reason. Dumbledore rambles on for pages and pages about these stories. Why? The guy rarely gives half a thought in the actual Potter series. I'm always wanting him to say more there - but he wouldn't be quiet about anything in these tales. Bleck. Don't read it.
