The Tales from Beedle the Bard
What's up with this one?
Any thoughts?
Seems fairly cheap upon pre-order so it must be one of those large paperback jobbers.
I'm actually pretty excited about it.
The Potterverse is a wealth of entertaining stories just waiting to get out I would imagine.

A copy was recently auctioned off for $4 million. When it was supposed to be a limited edition of 7, with 6 belonging to the Rowlings family.
Now it's being published. Man, I'd be mad. I paid $15 per kid for the Hannah Montana movie that was supposed to be in theatres "one week only", then afterwards they changed their minds, and that made me mad. How mad would I be if I paid 4 gigabucks?

But weren't those first copies all leatherbound and jewel encrusted and serial numbered?
Now if I could just find a way to wear live bees as jewelry all the time.....

So any news or predictions?
Is she writing in the same style or is it going to be different in some way?
A fun book for kids or more for adults?

Yes, she hand-wrote and illustrated it. Also, it appears (from a blurb on the cover) that all proceeds from this printing go to another charity. I'm pretty cool with this.Zahir wrote:And hand-made. Plus, the money went to charity.
Anywho, I gave two of these as gifts, but did not get one for myself. Anyone get one and read it yet?

A lie well told and told often enough,I'm damned if the truth will ever catch up with it!
I've read it (got it for my birthday) and was quite pleased. They are akin to Aesop's Fables in many ways, while Dumbledore's commentary is both insightful and funny.
