    Of Wizards and Stories

    From the nonsensical thoughts of your DramaQueen at 9:09 PM



    I bought Tales - Wait, correct and rephrase that - my sister bought me Tales as a Christmas present. Annoyed her last week so she got it reserved for me. I love having a sister who does something for a living.

     So anyhoo, according the intro by Rowling, Beedle the Bard was this wizard who wrote five stories for little wizards and witches. (By little, I mean children, luvs, not those of the vertically-challenged category.)

    It's kind of what we muggles call as fairy tales. As mentioned, there are five stories: The Wizard and the Hopping Pot, The Fountain of Fair Fortune, The Warlock's Hairy Heart, Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump, and The Tale of the Three Brothers, which was introduced in the seventh Harry Potter book.

    Dumbledore even has his commentaries after each story, giving us a background on how each story affected the wizard world.

    The amazing thing about Rowling is that when you read what she writes, it's as if you've lived through it, as if somehow you're actually affected by what's happening. Reading a book that serves as somewhat a history of the HP universe made me feel as if it were my own history. I guess what I'm trying to say is that Rowling makes you feel somehow involved, like you're important to that world, like what happens to them happens to you.
    You feel as if you're more affected of the witch hunts (from Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump) than the recession of the U.S.

    I don't even know why I'm doing a review on this seeing as you'd get nothing but praises from me when it comes to Rowling and Harry Potter. It's like what Jessica Zafra (one of my many local heroes) said when she did a review on Lord of the Rings, it's as if you're doing a review on your religion, you're blind to its flaws. (I can't blame her.) (LOTR was thisclose to perfection.) (Book and Film.)

    Anyhoo, it's a great read. Die hard fans should go get it to read to their children and/or future children.

    For the eighth time, kudos to you, Miss Rowling.

    A Poem

    Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
    By Robert Frost




    Whose woods these are I think I know.
    His house is in the village, though;
    He will not see me stopping here
    To watch his woods fill up with snow.



    My little horse must think it queer
    To stop without a farmhouse near
    Between the woods and frozen lake
    The darkest evening of the year.

    He gives his harness bells a shake
    To ask if there's some mistake.
    The only other sound's the sweep
    Of easy wind and downy flake.

    The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
    But I have promises to keep,
    And miles to go before I sleep,
    And miles to go before I sleep.
