Cinderella was a popular Muggle fairy tale by Muggle authors, the Brothers Grimm. In it, the protagonist waits for the return of a lost shoe.[1]
Squib author J. K. Rowling has noted the difference between this fairy tale and wizarding children's stories: fictional witches are much more active in seeking their fortunes than the Muggle fairy-tale heroines. Asha, Altheda, Amata and Babbitty Rabbitty are all witches who take their fate into their own hands, rather than waiting for someone to return a lost shoe, as the protagonist of Cinderella does.[1]
Hermione Granger mentioned it to Ron Weasley in 1997, as an example of something that she and Harry heard as children, instead of the classic wizarding tales by Beedle the Bard. Ron mistook "Cinderella" for an illness.[2]
