Another public Harry Potter related poll - Beedle the Bard

[Poll #1309309]Comments are also welcome. I'm contemplating getting the book, but I don't know if it's really worth spending money on? I love Harry Potter as much as I did a year and five months ago, but I've actually never been as quick to get the companion books. It took me two years to get around to buying Fantastic Beasts and Quidditch Through the Ages.[Poll #1309309]

Well yeah, I get the writer kind of 'talking to the characters' (like stupid SMeyer not knowing her characters' favourite colour because 'they haven't revealed that to me yet'), but I felt that in BtB, it was presented as if Jo actually sat down and wrote a letter to McGonagall, and could just as easily go to Hogwarts herself (well, if she could see it anyway ;)). That's what I meant with writing her into the world.

OMG JO WROTE A SELF-INSERT.
