the tale of three brothers by jk rowling

Now, thanks to Hermione Granger's new translation from the ancient runes, we present this stunning edition with an introduction, notes, and illustrations by J.K. , a wizarding classic, first came to Muggle readers' attention in the book known as Rowling, a classic Hogwarts Library book, and the perfect addition to the bookshelf of every Harry Potter fan. I borrowed my copy from the library and the above is my honest opinion. Next week we’ll be looking at “The Ear of Corn” by the Brothers Grimm. Head over there to see her take on “The Tale of the Three Brothers” and to share your own thoughts. Tif, from Tif Talks Books, is the hostess of this great feature, Fairy Tale Fridays. But really, this is a story and a book only of interest to Harry Potter fans, but what do you expect of a book “translated from the Ancient Runes by Hermione Granger” with “commentary by Albus Dumbledore?”

The youngest is the hero, which is often the case in tales. There’s a touch of magic and a touch of the macabre. The third brother, the wisest, only allows Death to finally find him when he’s an old man.Īnd then he greeted Death as an old friend, and went with him gladly, and, equals, they departed this life.

It’s the only way he can truly be with her again. The second commits suicide when he tries to bring back a woman he loved, but she still remains distant as if behind a veil. The oldest is killed by another wizard who steals his wand. The first two brothers end up dying quickly.

The first asks for a powerful magic wand, the second for the power to bring back the dead, and the third, the youngest, is given a Cloak of Invisibility that will allow him to travel without Death following him. He offers to give the brothers prizes for their cleverness. Death congratulates the brother, but actually feels cheated out of three victims. It tells the story of three brothers who through magic make a bridge that allows them to cross over a dangerous river. This is a story in The Tales of Beedle the Bard, a “wizarding classic” from that world. I’ve read most of the Harry Potter series, all but the last one actually, and seen several of the movies, but I’ve never gotten any further into it.
