Dear Fans, I am not sure, whether I will make you laugh or disappoint you, but facts are stubborn thing and I’m telling you, that J.K. Rowling has almost finished her first book without a teen wizard Harry Potter — a collection of short fairy tales titled “The Tales of Beedle the Bard.” According to Rowling only 7 copies of this book are already printed. One is a means to raise money for children and the rest 6 books were given as gifts.

Illustrations in the book are made by Rowling herself. Actually, the book is the latest book from Harry Potter novels, but it is not about Harry. It contains 5 fairy-tales, it is mentioned in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” as a present to Hermiona from headmaster Albus Dumbledore. The book supposes to contain clues how to destroy Lord Voldemort.

“The Tales of Beedle the Bard” is a kind of “goodbye” to Harry, her favourite hero for the last 17 years! One volume, decorated with silver and semiprecious stones in a leather cover will be exposed at the auction on Dec. 13 (with a price not less than $62,0000). What is more, J.K. Rowling is going to be at law with a small U.S. publisher – RDR Books, because of their intention to publish an encyclopedia of Harry Potter Lexicon. But, Rowling plans to make her own encyclopedia about Harry Potter. More pictures you can view here.
