Anybody else hoping and praying that these will be available to the public? So far J.K Rowlinghas only created seven copies and sold them or given them to the highest bidders and most important people. Amazon.com has a copy of the book and hopefully can get the rights to make these stories available to the public. Cross your fingers.

I want one!!! I really hope that there are plenty of little side books. I loved the two schoolbooks that were released several years ago, and I would like to see more of them!

Yeah I really would like to read and own The tales of Beadle the Bard

I think that would be very neat! I would definitely buy it!

She already made the creatures and quidditch books, it would probably be a third book like that.

Yeah I already have both of those but Beedle the Bard sounds interesting.

there are seven hand-written, hand-drawn by rowling copies of the tales of the beedle bard . . . of course these aren't exactly within the average price range . . . amazon.com bought a copy for a million and some odd pounds

as to when the rest of us can get a competitively-priced version, i have no idea

I'd love to see it, but I don't have a bajillion dollars. Maybe someone will scan it in and put it up somewhere for dl?

i would give anthing to get my hands on one!! I'll wait for it for as long as it takes..

I would love to get a copy. I'm hoping she releases even more school textbooks and things like that, because I'd love to collect them all as part of the HP legacy I'm hoping to pass on to my kids someday. More "extra" books make for an even more engrossing world.
