So, J.K. Rowling has gone and done it, completed her first post-Harry Potter offering, the fairy tale book with the above title that was first mentioned in Deathly Hallows. Can’t wait? Better get over it. Six of them were given as gifts within the intimate circle. The remaining one will be auctioned off for charity.

It’s a wonderful thing to be charitable, but just a thought. Giving the proceeds garnered from the millions upon millions of sales that The Tales of Beedle the Bard would surely garner if it were released to the entire public would be considerably more charitable than giving the proceeds from a purchase by one wealthy person. Not to mention, it would be rather charitable to all of those Potter fans desperate for one last frolic in the world of magic.
