J.K.Rowling’s creation of Harry Potter took the world of magic into the lives of mena and women of all ages. With the last book releasing earlier this year, Rowling confirmed tht there will be no more of Potter. Reports have it though that Rowling will bid adieu to Harry potter by auctioning for her children charity a handwritten set of fairytales mentioned in her last wizard saga. For fans of Harry Potter the sad news is that these fairytales will not be published, but the good news for all Rowling fans is that the author is half way through writing another children’s book.
The Children’s Voice charity which was set up by Rowling will get some funds from an auction of an illustrated copy of ‘The Tales of Beedle the Bard’. This book has been mentioned in the last book of Harry Potter series as having been given to Hermione by Professor Albus Dumbledore, recently disclosed as gay by the author.

Writing it has been the most wonderful way to say goodbye to a world I have lived for 17 years.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, has one of the tales in it, that of ‘Tale of Three Brothers’. Including a set of five wizarding fairytales, Rowling has prodcued only seven copies, bound in brown leather and decorated in silver and moonstone design. Six of he books have been given to those who were closely associated with the Harry Potter series over the past 17 years. The 7th copy as confirmed will be auctioned for raising funds for children who are in desperate need for voice.
Belief amongst the acutioneers at Sotheby is that the book can be sold for a whopping amount of 50,000 pounds where the buyer will be prohibited for any copyright and reproduction.

It’s like coming up from a dive. Its been therapeutic in a way and I just want to say goodbye.
For Pottermaniacs across the globe disappointment goes deep inside with the revalation that the fairytales wont be up for grabs for everyone to read.
