HARRY POTTER NEWS

Hey everyone,

Did you hear the news??? In December 2007, J.K. Rowling unveiled The Tales of Beedle the Bard, a very special book of five fairy tales illustrated by the bard herself, embellished with silver ornaments and mounted moonstones. Now J.K. Rowling is giving millions of Harry Potter fans worldwide cause for celebration with new editions of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, available December 4, 2008.

Here is what the 7th original book looks like.

Amazon.com got the last copy of the original 7 books. See here.....



"The Tales of Beedle the Bard, a Wizarding classic, first came to Muggle reader's attention in the book known as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Now, thanks to Hermione Granger's new translation from the ancient runes, we present this stunning edition with an introduction, notes, and illustrations by J. K. Rowling, and extensive commentary by Albus Dumbledore. Never before have Muggles been privy to these richly imaginative tales: "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot", "The Fountain of Fair Fortune", "The Warlock's Hairy Heart", "Babbitty Rabbitty and Her Cackling Stump", and of course, "The Tale of the Three Brothers". But not only are they the equal of fairy tales we now know and love, reading them gives new insight into the world of Harry Potter. "

See photos of the original book and more information here.

Reserve your copy now!

IT'S HERE!!!

A FEW WORDS FROM THE AUTHOR

JK Rowlings had this comment to say about the last book coming out......

“Within hours you will know what happens to Harry, Ron, Hermione and the rest in their final adventure. All the secrets I have been carrying around for so long will be yours, too, and those who guessed correctly will be vindicated, and those who guessed wrongly will not, I hope, be too disappointed! As for me, I feel a heady mixture of excitement, nerves and relief. ‘Deathly Hallows’ remains my favourite of the series, even after several re-reads; I cannot wait to share it with the readers who have stuck with me through six previous books.”

HARRY POTTER IS FINALLY HERE!!!

Hey everyone,

The day many of you have been waiting for is finally here!!! The last Harry Potter book came out at midnight last night. We are anxiously waiting for it to arrive by mail today.

Uncle Shawn is reading the 6th book now to get ready to read the 7th when it comes. We are trying not to watch ANY television or read ANY magazine that tells what happens. We want it to be a suprise ending when we read it.

We know Emily is looking forward to reading it. I am sure she'll have it finished in a day.

CAN'T WAIT!!

Love,

Uncle Shawn & Mr. Ted

Emily, We Know What You Will Be Doing July 22!

Harry Potter fans, mark your calendars.




J.K. Rowling said on her Web site that "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," the last in her seven-book series, will be available for sale just after midnight on Saturday, July 21.

(Check her site out. It has come cool stuff there. Not sure what you can do when you click on the eraser. Let me know what you find out.)

That's one week after the release of the fifth movie, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," on July 13.

Rowling's publisher didn't say how long the book would be, but some Harry-watchers think it will be more than 600 pages. That's because the suggested price for Book 7 is $34.99 -- $5 more than Book 6.

The news of a publication date added new urgency to discussions among fans about who will be killed off in "Deathly Hallows." At an appearance in New York last summer, Rowling revealed that she planned to do away with two characters.

WICKED!

Uncle Ted and I heard that the Lowes are going to see the musical Wicked this weekend. We are so jealous!! We hope you have lots of fun.

Gregory Maguire, the author of the book Wicked, has written a few other books that Emily may want to check out sometime. You can find information about his Oz inspired books, childrens books and other author info at this website. If you want specific information about the Wicked tour show, check this out.

Have fun at the show!!
