We're lucky enough in this new book not only to get five amazing tales, but we also get an introduction from Jo and several long commentaries from Albus Dumbledore himself on the stories and histories. In all of this, Jo and Dumbledore throw in never-before-known canon facts, further shedding light on the "real" HP universe in addition to the five tales. Here are some questions to get you thinking:

--> Which new canon fact is the most interesting?
--> Which new canon fact made you laugh?
--> Would any of the new canon have been helpful in your discussions pre-Deathly Hallows?
--> Did any of Jo's backstory about Dumbledore's writing the commentaries pique your interest?
