There are many reasons for the enduring popularity of the Rubik's Cube, according to its reclusive Hungarian inventor, Erno Rubik. The iconic toy is an intellectual challenge, it's accessible to people from all cultures, and it helps provide a sense of order and stability in an uncertain world. But the fundamental reason 350 million cubes have sold since 1980, Rubik says from his studio in Budapest, is its design: "People like its beauty, simplicity and form.

Each of the 48 rooms and suites contains an original chair - created by notables like Philippe Starck and Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec - which the hotel's Hungarian designers used as inspiration to produce artwork unique to each room.

Beedle is, as advertised in Deathly Hallows, a small book - 111 pages, and that's with an introduction, an afterword, triple spacing and margins into which you could fit a Hungarian Horntail. None of the stories in it are bad - I don't think J.K. Rowling knows how to be less than charming in print - but they do vary in quality. The first tale, "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot," is the worst, a grimly heartwarming trifle about how you should be nice to Muggles. "Babbitty Rabbitty and Her Cackling Stump," a variant on the emperor's new clothes...
