If you're a fan of Harry Potter then taking time to catch The Tales of Beedle the Bard in Diagon Alley is a must.

The show is put on by a group of dramatic puppeteers called "Wizarding Academy of Dramatic Arts". The players use gorgeous marionettes to put on productions of two of Beedle the Bard's most famous stories; The Fountain of Fair Fortune and The Tale of the Three Brothers.

The puppeteers give a great performance of these moralistic tales. The puppets themselves have been designed to resemble the imagery used in The Deathly Hallows: Part One; where Hermione reads the tale to Harry and Ron. Though for fans of the books and films The Tale of the Three Brothers is the more well known story, you won't be disappointed by The Fountain of Fair Fortune.

The show itself isn't very long at about 10 minutes so won't take up much of your day. Even though the times guide doesn't tell you which story the "Wizarding Academy of Dramatic Arts" will be performing at that time, either one is worth grabbing a Butterbeer and sitting down to watch.
