A really wonderful discovery

Well many of you know that I am Harry Potter fan. HUGE? Maybe..but probably not nearly as much as others. I am slowly collecting the audio cd's of the wonderful set of books, but it's slow to come - they're expensive!!!

Anyway, I just finished Book 5 on CD today and was discussing with a friend of mine many differences between the book and movie. I really didn't realize how many differences there were. Wow! And she remarked that J.K. Rowling actually hand wrote 7 copies of the Tales of Beetle the Bard (referenced in the Book 7 that Dumbledore had given to Hermoine). Below is the link about the fact that Amazon was actually able to purchase through an auction this wonderful book. The description is positively amazing as she hand wrote this book and hand illustrated it as well. Apparently the book went for something like $7,000 *gasp*. We can only hope that Rowling might allow someone to allow her work to be re-created like she did at some point for general distribution. Talk about a wonderful piece of work.
