Harry Potter’s TALES OF BEEDLE THE BARD now available!
December 4, 2008
J.K. Rowling’s newest Harry Potter-related book is NOW AVAILABLE! If you’ve read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows you know (minor spoiler alert) that Dumbledore left Hermione a book called The Tales of Beedle the Bard. This book played an important role in the plot by revealing to our heroes the legend of the “Deathly Hallows.” The book also contained other exciting stories and fairy tales from the wizarding world, but Harry Potter fans never got to read them…
Until now! This newly published volume reveals all five “Tales” for the first time ever, with revealing notes and additional writings by Professor Albus Dumbledore. The book is illustrated by J.K. Rowling herself! You can place a hold on the book by clicking here. (And you can come back to the blog and post your review once you’ve read it!)
My question for the week is this:
If J.K. Rowling ever writes more Harry Potter books, should they be prequels starring Harry’s parents and their friends, or sequels starring the “next generation” of wizards?

If J.K Rowling ever writes more Harry Potter Books it would be nice to have a prequel. It should be story telling the story leading up to the arrival of Harry being left with the Dursley’s.

More about the story leading up to the story of Harry and Voldemort is certainly one of the things I’d like to know more about, but I’d also like to know what happens to the children of Harry, Hermione, Ron, the Lupins, and even Draco as they all head off to Hogwarts and enter a Voledemort-free world of magic. It seems that Dumbledore and his followers all did so much to bring about peace and so many were sacrificied in the process, it would be interesting to know how the next generation gets along in the world of magic now that Voldemort is gone.

I’d like to see more about the 1st order of the Phoenix and James and Lilly’s early time together- before Harry.

It seems I may be alone in preferring a sequel involving the “next generation” … it would be nice to see a non-Voldemort related conflict. On the other hand, the adventures of a younger Albus Dumbledore might be an interesting read!

I’d love to see what would happen with all of Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny’s kids! There was already some teen drama happening at the end of Deathly Hallows!

I totally want a sequel series!

I believe a sequel, with appearances by Harry, Ron and Hermione, and news about the Weasley’s and other former Order members would be fascinating, and probably the best way to go about it
