Similarly to "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and "Quidditch Through the Ages" (two other books mentioned in the "Harry Potter" novels that have also been printed) the standard and collector's editions of "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" feature commentary and footnotes from Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts and one of the main characters of the series. The standard edition also includes illustrations reproduced from the handwritten edition auctioned in December 2007 and the introduction by the author. The limited collector's edition features ten illustrations by J.K. Rowling not included in the standard edition or the original handcrafted edition, as well as an exclusive reproduction of J.K. Rowling's handwritten introduction, and other miscellaneous objects such as replica gemstones and an emerald ribbon.
