《游唱诗人比多故事集》内容介绍:
1.魔法师与魔力锅
如同哈利波特故事的开头一样，该故事的开始弥漫着一中魔力的气息：魔法师与魔力锅呈现在开始，一顶圆圆锅，这顶锅有着异常漂亮的脚，而脚只有五个脚趾（五个脚趾，如果你要是正在纳闷的话，当然这和人一样，有的人也是五个脚趾）。故事的开场足够欢快，有那么一点点魔力的感觉，像哈利波特中doubledore开始出现的时候，我们必须停下来深呼吸一下。
一个受人爱戴的男人，他为了帮助周围的邻居而使用他的魔力，在这个魔力锅中制成治病的药方。 很快，他这个善良的人就死去了，把所有的一切留给了自己的儿子。不幸的是，他的儿子和父亲任何的相似之处（他完全是哈利波特中马尔福）。 他父亲一死，他就发现了魔力锅，在锅里只有一只拖鞋和一张便条，上面写着，亲爱的儿子，我真诚的希望，你以后再也不需要这些东西。和其他故事一样，这一刻预示着不祥甚至灾难的开始了。
2.神奇的财富之泉
闪闪的流动的泉水成为故事的另一大特点，现在我们已经读到30页了，显而易见的是，罗琳很喜欢画（而且很擅长）星星和火花之类闪闪的东西。 故事的开头和结尾都是像精灵仙子一样的东西（喜欢读peter pan 的读者了解，罗琳的精灵是没有漂亮的踪影的。 在书的第一页，文字下面一片玫瑰花丛非常显眼，花丛很漂亮。喜欢画玫瑰花的人都知道，花是很难被擦下去的，所以罗琳的花并不是用来掩饰错误的，这和我们大部分人画花的目的并不相同。这是故事最漂亮的一个开始，也是神奇的泉水赖以生存的源头。这也是为什么故事从宏大的玫瑰花丛开始：一个令人心旷神怡的花园被魔法力所保护和笼罩。 每年一次，一个不幸的人可以来到喷泉旁边，在水里洗澡，洗完澡后就获得了永远的财富。 这些正是广大的哈里波特迷的梦想。 事实上，这个故事吸引人的地方在于，哈里波特迷深深地爱着故事中的一切，而在现实中梦寐以求的东西。
3.魔法师多毛的心脏
亲爱的读者们请注意：罗琳在这个故事可以和格林兄弟， 在魔法师多毛的心脏这段中，你读后会情不自禁的笑一下， 在通往魔法师灵魂的旅途中，遇到了他的心脏。 在第一页并没有恐怖的精灵，相反我们看到是一颗心脏，心脏上长满了厚厚的毛发并滴着血（再一次说明，画一颗栩栩如生的布满血管的心脏，但是罗琳画的很好-重重的毛发）在文字下面，有一把钥匙，钥匙的顶部套着三个圈，钥匙摊放在血泊中，很明显我们很容易陷入到这个故事中。 别抱怨我们没有警告你。
4.兔子和魔树桩
罗琳的第四个故事也是最长的一个故事开始是一个很大的树桩（20岁，按树的年轮来算的话） 树桩底部长出五颗长长的树根和杂草。 树桩的中心有个深色的裂痕，有两个白色圈，看上去很像两只眼睛在偷窥你读书。 文字下面是一个峡长的四个脚趾的抓印。 和上一个多毛的心脏相比并不恐怖（这次我们可以故事的第一页看到精灵仙子等）但是那个树桩长得并不招人喜欢。
5.三个兄弟的故事
如果和我们一样，如果为了很快看完这本书而疾速读完了‘三个兄弟的故事’，但是你错过了最好的一个故事。幸运的是， 你可以打开哈里波特与死圣的21章，随时可以拜读。 如果你还没有读完罗琳系列的最后一本书，你可能不原意阅读这些读后感。 先读一读相关的背景故事，你是不会失望的。
在五个故事的结束的时候，读者眼前出现了一个长满牙齿的头骨，突骨的正中有个刻着一个符号：园圈中有一条垂直的线，线贯穿了一个三角形。 文字下面是一条编织毯，上面放着一条魔棒（闪着光采），看上去像一小块石头。
《游唱诗人比多故事集》读后感
很难用语言描述看到和把罗琳的书拿在手里的感觉和经历，只能用一个大大的惊叹词Whoe. 该手稿的存在本身就是一种奇迹，更不用提世界上仅存的7本，该手稿的故事并不与任何前面的故事雷同，而且还是罗琳亲自插图的（你能在前几页就可以看出罗琳在艺术方面很有造诣）。罗琳的笔迹就像一个很熟悉的阿姨的笔迹，读起来并不难，但是很能抓住读者的心，而且让你可以有时间慢慢品味每个词句中的神秘感。
你怎么能回忆并描述出打开书的那一刻前所未有过的快乐呢？你轻轻翻开每一页，自己却不知不觉地被故事情节深深地吸引了，完全忘我。 你让自己完全放纵在故事中，如同读伊索寓言一样，故事的情节还常常回响在你的脑海中。然后你一步步小心翼翼的浅尝故事情节欣赏着罗琳的笔迹的一笔一画。这些都让这本书变得独一无二，这一笔的颜色比其他暗一点，这一页满的差点写不下了，你也开始学会并在生活中模仿，当然你永远不可能作的这么正确。所有这些，放我们一起开始细细品读这本书吧，好吗？

Offering the trademark wit and imagination familiar to Rowling's legions of readers--as well as Aesop's wisdom and the occasional darkness of the Brothers Grimm--each of these five tales reveals a lesson befitting children and parents alike: the strength gained with a trusted friendship, the redemptive power of love, and the true magic that exists in the hearts of all of us. Rowling's new introduction also comments on the personal lessons she has taken from the Tales, noting that the characters in Beedle's collection "take matters into their own hands, rather than taking a prolonged nap or waiting for someone to return a lost shoe," and that "magic causes as many problems as it solves, and to this day it is often Beedle's stories that help the parent explain this fact of life to their young sons and daughters."
But the true jewel of this new edition is the enlightening and comprehensive commentary (including extensive footnotes!) by Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, who brings his unique wizard's-eye perspective to the collection. Discovered "among the many papers which Dumbledore left in his will to the Hogwarts Archives," the venerable wizard's ruminations on the Tales allow today's readers to place them in the context of 16th century Muggle society, even allowing that "Beedle was somewhat out of step with his times in preaching a message of brotherly love for Muggles" during the era of witch hunts that would eventually drive the wizarding community into self-imposed exile. In fact, versions of the same stories told in wizarding households would shock many for their uncharitable treatment of their Muggle characters.
Professor Dumbledore also includes fascinating historical backstory, including tidbits such as the history and pursuit of magic wands, a brief comment on the Dark Arts and its practitioners, and the struggles with censorship that eventually led "a certain Beatrix Bloxam" to cleanse the Tales of "much of the darker themes that she found distasteful," forever altering the meaning of the stories for their Muggle audience. Dumbledore also allows us a glimpse of his personal relationship to the Tales, remarking that it was through "Babbity Rabbity and Her Cackling Stump" that "many of us [wizards] first discovered that magic could not bring back the dead."
Both a wise and delightful addition to the Harry Potter canon, this new translation of The Tales of Beedle the Bard is all that fans could hope for and more--and an essential volume for the libraries of Muggles, wizards, and witches, both young and old.

Amazon Reviews the Original Handcrafted Edition of The Tales of Beedle the Bard
The following is Amazon's original December 2007 review. Please note that the review and images below pertain to the handmade book purchased at auction:
There is no easy way to define the experience of seeing, holding, or reading J.K. Rowling's The Tales of Beedle the Bard, so let's just start with one word: "Wow." The very fact of its existence (an artifact pulled straight out of a novel) is magical, not to mention the facts that only seven copies exist in all the world and each of the never-before-told tales is handwritten and illustrated by J.K. Rowling herself (and it's quite clear from the first few pages that she has some skill as an artist). Rowling's handwriting is like the familiar scrawl of a favorite aunt--it's not hard to read, but it does require attention--allowing you to take it slow and savour the mystery of each next word.
So how do you review one of the most remarkable tomes you've ever had the pleasure of opening? You just turn each page and allow yourself to be swept away by each story. You soak up the simple tales that read like Aesop's fables and echo the themes of the series; you follow every dip and curve of Rowling's handwriting and revel in every detail that makes the book unique--a slight darkening of a letter here, a place where the writing nearly runs off the page there. You take all that and you try and bring it to life, knowing that you will never be able to do it justice. With that, let's dig in and begin at the beginning, shall we? --Daphne Durham

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
* Harry's first trip to the zoo with the Dursleys, when a boa constrictor winks at him.
* When the Dursleys' house is suddenly besieged by letters for Harry from Hogwarts. Readers learn how much the Dursleys have been keeping from Harry. Rowling does a wonderful job in displaying the lengths to which Uncle Vernon will go to deny that magic exists.
* Harry's first visit to Diagon Alley with Hagrid. Full of curiosities and rich with magic and marvel, Harry's first trip includes a trip to Gringotts and Ollivanders, where Harry gets his wand (holly and phoenix feather) and discovers yet another connection to He-Who-Must-No-Be-Named. This moment is the reader's first full introduction to Rowling's world of witchcraft and wizards.
* Harry's experience with the Sorting Hat.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
* The de-gnoming of the Weasleys' garden. Harry discovers that even wizards have chores--gnomes must be grabbed (ignoring angry protests "Gerroff me! Gerroff me!"), swung about (to make them too dizzy to come back), and tossed out of the garden--this delightful scene highlights Rowling's clever and witty genius.
* Harry's first experience with a Howler, sent to Ron by his mother.
* The Dueling Club battle between Harry and Malfoy. Gilderoy Lockhart starts the Dueling Club to help students practice spells on each other, but he is not prepared for the intensity of the animosity between Harry and Draco. Since they are still young, their minibattle is innocent enough, including tickling and dancing charms.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
* Ron's attempt to use a telephone to call Harry at the Dursleys'.
* Harry's first encounter with a Dementor on the train (and just about any other encounter with Dementors). Harry's brush with the Dementors is terrifying and prepares Potter fans for a darker, scarier book.
* Harry, Ron, and Hermione's behavior in Professor Trelawney's Divination class. Some of the best moments in Rowling's books occur when she reminds us that the wizards-in-training at Hogwarts are, after all, just children. Clearly, even at a school of witchcraft and wizardry, classes can be boring and seem pointless to children.
* The Boggart lesson in Professor Lupin's classroom.
* Harry, Ron, and Hermione's knock-down confrontation with Snape.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
* Hermione's disgust at the reception for the veela (Bulgarian National Team Mascots) at the Quidditch World Cup. Rowling's fourth book addresses issues about growing up--the dynamic between the boys and girls at Hogwarts starts to change. Nowhere is this more plain than the hilarious scene in which magical cheerleaders nearly convince Harry and Ron to jump from the stands to impress them.
* Viktor Krum's crush on Hermione--and Ron's objection to it.
* Malfoy's "Potter Stinks" badge.
* Hermione's creation of S.P.E.W., the intolerant bigotry of the Death Eaters, and the danger of the Triwizard Tournament. Add in the changing dynamics between girls and boys at Hogwarts, and suddenly Rowling's fourth book has a weight and seriousness not as present in early books in the series. Candy and tickle spells are left behind as the students tackle darker, more serious issues and take on larger responsibilities, including the knowledge of illegal curses.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
* Harry's outburst to his friends at No. 12 Grimmauld Place. A combination of frustration over being kept in the dark and fear that he will be expelled fuels much of Harry's anger, and it all comes out at once, directly aimed at Ron and Hermione. Rowling perfectly portrays Harry's frustration at being too old to shirk responsibility, but too young to be accepted as part of the fight that he knows is coming. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
* The introduction of the Horcrux. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
* The revelation of Snape's nature (especially Snape痴 Patronus and the emotion behind it). It serves as a reminder that it is love (requited or not) in all its forms ?that drives many of our actions.Visit the Harry Potter Store
