Book 25: The Tales of Beedle the Bard

J.K. Rowling's The Tales of Beedle the Bard contains 5 fairy tales. They teach lessons in being kind, creative, and using common sense. Wizards who behave badly by being cruel or arrogantly abusing their powers are punished.

The best part by far is Albus Dumbledore's commentary following each story. He gives us more insight into the wizarding world and also teaches us some dirty words. Pro-Muggle witches and wizards can be called "Mudwallower," "Dunglicker," or "Scumsucker."
