Beetle the Bard purchased by Amazon

Hmm. That was entirely too neat and tidy. How long before Amazon.com gets the Royal Permission to publish distribute it? Place your bets in the comments section ...

We're incredibly excited to announce that Amazon has purchased J.K. Rowling’s The Tales of Beedle the Bard at an auction held by Sotheby’s in London. The book of five wizarding fairy tales, referenced in the last book of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, is one of only seven handmade copies in existence. [...] Enjoy these first images of the book. We'll be adding reviews of each of the fairy tales as we can get them up in the coming hours (if you want to be sure of a link that will permanently work, use www.amazon.com/beedlebard).

Oh, don't mind me. I'm just kind of bitter because my own copy of Beedle seems to have gotten lost in the mail ...

I think JKR should just stop writing and go into the kennel business with Michael Vick.
Or better yet: BALCO probably needs some new investors. Imagine the scandal when we learn that Sirius, James Potter, Lupin and Pettigrew were all using "performane-enhancing Potions" during their time at Hogwarts. Not to mention what exactly Horace Slughorn was brewing up in the dungeons!
And the real reason for the falling out between Dumbledore and Gellert: 'Roid Rage!!
