J.K. Rowling's Newest Book

J.K. Rowling wrote 7 new copies of her newest book, The Tales Of Beedle The Bard. They were all sold in the millions! Amazon picked one up so did London art agent Hazlitt, Gooden and Fox. These were hand written and illustrated by J.K. Rowling herself. Rowling donated the money as well, what a great person.

They physically look good
Unique; not typed at all, hand written instead with blue ink supposedly.
Even drew stuff to make it more appealing and it worked.
Kudos to J.K. Rowling
She works hard and extreemly talented.

Agreed, I would love to get my hands on one of those books though. I read all of her Harry Potter series. Can you believe it? 4 million dollars for one book.

Carlos · 02-29-2008, 06:57 PM

She actually did this a long time ago. Like right after the last Harry Potter, they spoke about this.

Jon · 02-29-2008, 07:21 PM

Yeah, I did a bit more research on this and found that it was done around November 2007. I wonder if there are any scanned copies online...

Meh I started to hate JK Rowlings's work after the the Harry Potter series became increasingly corny and over dramatic as the story arc progressed.

Wow, that's a lot of money for a Harry Potter Book (I know, not harry, but still)

I used to be obsessed with the Harry Potter Books, but that started to go away as soon as
1: As the series got more violent, the magic went away
2: I started to see connections between older books and the Harry Potter series

Yeah, I refuse to ever buy anything from her. I mean w/ the H.P. books her style was just grotesque I couldn't stand to read more than one page. Her style come on, it was horrible. She has like no talent for telling the story. The story was OK, but the weaver needs some serious work. I wouldn't pay $0.00001 for any of her books. She needs to sit down and learn how to tell the story better. I read the first page of H.P. year 1. And then I burned it. I pre-ordered the book. then I got it and burned it. So whatever if your a fanboy/girl then I guess that'll be worth it. so whatever.

Seeing as there are 7 copies, I doubt it.

Her style is great, and J.K. Rowling is a great storyteller. Better than you and I can ever hope to be.

133794m3r · 03-06-2008, 06:52 PM

OK, once more a personally opinion. And how do you know that I'll never be published? Huh?
I mean her style I just can't stand it. I mean it's the way that she writes her books. I just can't even begin to understand how anyone can stand them. I've gotten many ppl to agree w/ me on this fact. Her style is bad. Now the story that she's telling is great. But as I've said the way that she does is "teh suck." Many ppl agree w/ me. And let me guess you also like Stephenie Meyers?

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions Nathan.. Don't judge.

Trogdor · 03-06-2008, 07:58 PM

I bet in 10 years it will be in print, they will just milk the handwriting for as long as they can

Jon · 03-07-2008, 04:10 PM

I bet in 10 minutes Trogdor can make a better one

133794m3r · 03-10-2008, 03:19 PM

Well will trodgor make a better one?

Jon · 03-10-2008, 04:17 PM

Lol no, it was a joke.

133794m3r · 03-11-2008, 05:16 PM

Well, Trodgor could write a better one and thus it's a fact. LOL it is not.

Jon · 03-11-2008, 06:23 PM

*write

Chri(Z)tian · 03-11-2008, 06:42 PM

Wow 4mill for a book! But dang she did a real good job on the book. I love the hand drawn pictures, and the cover looks pretty cool. Also the fact that it is hand written..I bet the book is real good, just like her previous work. She made/wrote 7 copies, 4 mill for each book. 28 Million!!! IMHO I think she should do this more often...28 Mill....7 books...definently worth it.

133794m3r · 03-11-2008, 07:18 PM

Well I'm sorry Mr. Jon. I'll go change it right now. Stupid homophones.
