There will be just seven volumes of The Tales of Beedle the Bard and they will not be published.

Rowling completes Potter spin-off
By Razia Iqbal
Arts correspondent, BBC News

Author JK Rowling has completed a set of handwritten fairytales which were mentioned in her last book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

There will be just seven volumes of The Tales of Beedle the Bard and they will not be published.

One copy will be auctioned to raise money for her charity, The Children's Voice, and the author will give away the rest of them.

She said the books were a "wonderful way" to say goodbye to Potter.
...
"I was literally writing out - as these are handwritten books - these new stories which has been a wonderful way to say goodbye. It's like coming up from a deep dive."

The fairytales, which were illustrated by Rowling herself, are the first works she has written since the Potter novel was published in July.

OMG - This is like hearing that a fabulous chocolate shop is setting up in your town, but they won't be selling to you! Sad

I know! I was disappointed as well Sad

I would love to read them. Maybe we will get a few snippets when the encyclopedia is published.

I would have liked a copy. It would have been SO cool. But I think that eventually they will set up something in which anyone who wants one can have one. Shame for now though that we can't get one Sad

It sucks that we can't go buy a copy, but it was really nice of her to auction off the last copy for charity. At least it will help people, which is very generous of her.
