Answer 2

Don't panic HP fans, JK Rowling will certainly sell her new book ... just wait a little longer for the auction to be done and all the publicity on this subject.

Then I am sure she will announce that so many fans wrote to her and ask her to share her wonderful imagination, her wonderful style and her wonderful illuistrations to a low price of only 25 $ or something like that ...
She uses her website to do so, she knows you are all there waiting .... She did the same for the books Fantastic Beats ...

And you know what is magic then ? She will earn a new billion : thanks to Dumbledor (he is gay !!!!) and to Beedle The Bard (gay also ? let see in her next children book or BBC conference ...)

When will you see, HP fans, that the only magic here is marketing ??? I am so sad to see that when I remember the quality of my childhood fairy tales ....

Mac Do, Mac Rowling and Marketing .... Money, money, money ... let see how long my post will stay (Rowling lawyers here also ?)

Answer 3

And herein lies the real reason J. K. Rowling outed Dumbledore.

She had her own agenda.

Don't you think that she has enough money to donate to a charity of her choice?

HP fans, she is playing y'all big time. WAKE UP PEOPLE. Stop allowing her to have a laugh at your expense.

She is feeding you crumbs. Then when enough of you BEG her to publish the book on a wide-grand scale, she'll say, "Oh, alright. If you insist. I'm doing it for you."

And then, you will pay through the nose for the book and then after the books have sold, she'll reveal some deep, dark mystery that she forgot to put in the book.

Shame on her and shame on you all!!!!

Answer 4

They sell the Tales of Beedle the Bard at Barnes and Noble for sure. It might also be sold at Borders and other bookstores. ~ Proud Ron/Hermione shipper!!! <3

Answer 5

jk rowling should be ashamed of herself...i think this is a slap in the face of all her fans who have followed her and her books through the years and would have happily bought this book by the millions and she would have been able to raise even more money for charity as she wanted...as for me, I will never buy another book by rowling...actually i'd much rather buy that unauthorised encyclopedia she's suing for than wait for her own and give one more cent of my money to her or to any of her charities

Answer 6

She is a billionaire. She doesnt need to raise money for the childrens charity. She can just give it to them. If she is only earning 5% on her billion dollars, she is making 130,000 dollars per day just in interest. How nice of her to give away half a days pay. She is so generous.

Answer 7

I haven't heard of it before - where did you hear about this?
Man, I'd just die to have a copy of Beedle the Bard.

Answer 8

OK, we have a fund-raiser item. Maybe eventually it will be published (maybe in the Potter Encyclopedia), but at only five stories, it is too short to publish as a stand-alone.

Answer 10

It's either badly thought out philanthropy or some kind of marketing scam.
