Hermione Reads “The Tale of the Three Brothers”

PAGES: 406-409

Hermione Granger reads “The Tale of the Three Brothers” aloud from *The Tales of Beedle the Bard*. The story describes how three brothers cheated Death by creating a magical bridge, and in return, Death gave each of them a gift: the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Cloak of Invisibility. The trio listens carefully as the story unfolds, each intrigued by the parallels between the tale and the Hallows Xenophilius mentioned.
