Amazing story!!!

I love this book because it is such a page turner. It has been one of J.K Rowling’s successes. It is the best extension of the Harry Potter. I love that it is read by the actors and actresses from the franchise. Definitely an incredible book.

Ties up some loose ends from the series

Over the course of the Harry Potter series many references are made to children's stories all witches and wizards hear growing up. These are those stories. These stories also give us insight into some of the items Harry and the others use in the series.

This collection of short stories is good. The narration is good. They all held my interest as long as they lasted. My only compliant with the audio book is that it was very short.

Wonderful stories!

I absolutely loved this collection of short stories and the point of view from Dumbledore. Perfect addition for any HP fan. It gives a bit of history. Only wish it were longer!

thought-provoking and entertaining

What a fun story collection! It's both thought-provoking and entertaining. I can't wait until my daughter is old enough for this.

Amazing

Beautifully performed version of this Harry Potter classic.
Noma Dumezweni’s rendition of the Tale of the Three Brothers was exhilarating!!

New and unexpected

Not what I expected, however stories were great and the note from Dumbledore was better

Absolutely amazing

What a delightful listen! All the narrators made the stories come to life! Fantastic two hours!

Very Entertaining

I've read this book before, but hearing it read by such a talented group people with sound effects was alot of fun. These stories are well written and a fun listen. The added content from Dumbledore gives great onsite to the story.
I love anything that extends the Potter universe but knowing the purchase goes to a great cause is even better.

Amazing. Too short!

I wish there was more. I go through audiobooks so fast it's frustrating when something so good is short.
