"The Tales of Beedle the Bard is a collection of Wizarding fairy-tales of special significance within Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. In chapter seven of the final Harry Potter book we learn that in his will, Albus Dumbledore leaves his copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard to Hermione Granger "in the hope that she will find it entertaining and instructive". The stories comprise 'The Wizard and the Hopping Pot', 'The Fountain of Fair Fortune', 'The Warlock's Hairy Heart', 'Babbity Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump' and 'The Tale of the Three Brothers'. The final tale is published within Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; the others have been hitherto entirely unknown.
