The Tales of Beedle the Bard now available!

All around the world, The Tales of Beedle the Bard is finally being released! The five unique fairy tales that J.K. Rowling wrote initially as a gift to six people who mean a lot to her and the development of the Harry Potter series and were at first only to be read by those select few, are now available at bookstores globally, as well as at online shops such as Amazon.com - the purchaser of the 7th original book that was auctioned for charity. J.K. Rolwing thought that all fans which were disappointed at the fact that they would not read the books had a " 'fair point", so I thought 'I'll publish it and then the charity can have that money too'."

The money from the book, which she beautifully illustrated herself, will go to J.K. Rowling's charity, The Children's High Level Group - a very worthwile cause.

So if you still haven't got yours yet, hurry to your nearest bookstore; or use your credit card, and shop online!
