The Tales of Beedle the Bard



Ah, Hermione will now not be the only person to own an original of this book. JKR has handwritten and illustrated seven copies of this book (along with jeweled covers), to raise money for charity. One copy goes to Sotheby's in London, while the others are for her closest friends.



Anyway, apart from The Tale of the Three Brothers, the book has four other 'fairytales' namely The Fountain of Fair Fortune, The Wizard and the Hopping Pot, Babitty Rabitty and Her Cackling Stump, and The Warlock's Hairy Heart.


Boy, wouldn't I do just about anything to get my hands on a copy...

3 howlers and owlers:
