The Tales of Beedle the Bard, a Wizarding classic, first came to Muggle readers? But not only are they the equal of fairy tales we now know and love, reading them gives new insight into the world of Harry Potter. Dumbledore tells us of incidents unique to the Wizarding world, like hilariously troubled theatrical productions at Hogwarts or the dangers of having a ?hairy heart.? But he also reveals aspects of the Wizarding world that his Muggle readers might find all too familiar, like censorship, intolerance, and questions about the deepest mysteries in life.
