This is why J.K. Rowling is so famous, because not only does she write books that fill our imagination and create worlds that ACTUALLY we believe. I mean when I was eleven I remembered wondering if I would get MY letter. Who else could do something like that? But, then, she comes and gives us a book that was within the books that brought things to life. How could it become any more realistic? It's now seriously tangible and I can't help but applaud that brilliance. J.K. Rowling is a true stroke of genius.
After the horrid let down of her last book, she decides to come out with a crappy little wizards fairy tale book. That is sad. It's like a small 'I'm sorry for rushing my last book so I could have a normal life again.'book. She doesn't need the money. Is it because she's worried people are talking more about the next Spiderman or Batman movie then her sad little books? I have read all her novels and seen the movies and eaten the Every flavor beans and the chocolate frogs. I liked the first 3 books. But then the franchise took the express elevator to manic depressive ville. The books became a let down the movies became horrid. I kept reading, hoping things would get better, that maybe she was having a crappy year or some form of slump. But no, she just started to write like crap. Face it, are you happy with how the last book ended? It's nice to have hope about her new little release. But I won't be holding my breath for it. If it's more then an inch thick I think you'll be lucky. But as for me, I'm done with reading her drivel.
The Tales of Beedle the Bard, a Wizarding classic, first came to Muggle readers' attention in the book known as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Now, thanks to Hermione Granger's new translation from the ancient runes, we present this stunning edition with an introduction, notes, and illustrations by J. K. Rowling, and extensive commentary by Albus Dumbledore. Never before have Muggles been privy to these richly imaginative tales: "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot," "The Fountain of Fair Fortune," "The Warlock's Hairy Heart," "Babbitty Rabbitty and Her Cackling Stump," and of course, "The Tale of the Three Brothers." The stories are accompanied by delightful pen-and-ink illustrations by Ms. Rowling herself, featuring a still-life frontispiece for each one. Professor Dumbledore's commentary-apparently written some eighteen months before his death-reveals not just his vast knowledge of Wizarding lore, but also more of his personal qualities: his sense of humor, his courage, his pride in his abilities, and his hard-won wisdom. Names familiar from the Harry Potter novels sprinkle the pages, including Aberforth Dumbledore, Lucius Malfoy and his forebears, and Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington (or "Nearly Headless Nick"), as well as other professors at Hogwarts and the past owners of the Elder Wand. Dumbledore tells us of incidents unique to the Wizarding world, like hilariously troubled theatrical productions at Hogwarts or the dangers of having a "hairy heart." But he also reveals aspects of the Wizarding world that his Muggle readers might find all too familiar, like censorship, intolerance, and questions about the deepest mysteries in life. But not only are thesetales the equal of fairy tales we now know and love, reading them gives new insight into the world of Harry Potter. This purchase also represents another very important form of giving: From every sale of this book, Scholastic will give its net proceeds to the CHILDREN'S HIGH LEVEL GROUP, a charity cofounded in 2005 by J.K. Rowling and Baroness Nicholson of Winterbourne, MEP. CHLG campaigns to protect and promote children's rights and make life better for vulnerable young people.
