This isn't just a cash-grab companion book. It’s a genuinely thoughtful collection of fables that stands on its own.

While most 'spin-off' books feel like homework, the inclusion of Dumbledore's 'notes' makes this feel like you're getting a private lesson from the headmaster himself. It’s short, it’s sweet, and it’s got just enough of that classic British whimsy to keep it from feeling like a lecture.

If your kid is obsessed with the Wizarding World, this is a no-brainer. If they aren't, it's still a solid collection of fairy tales that beats the pants off most modern 'moral' stories.
