A Peek Inside "Tales of Beedle the Bard" by J. K. Rowling

Anyone watch that Yahoo! interview with J.K. Rowling today? I thought it was interesting that they showed her new book up close during the beginning of the interview. Seemed awfully easy to try and read a little of it. Just screen shot it and rotate the image in Photoshop. I did two frames just as a proof of concept:



"The Tales of Beedle the Bard translated from the original [?] by J.K. Rowling"



"There was once a kindly old wizard [who?] used his magic generously and [solely?] for the benefit of his neighbors. Rather than reveal the source of his"

I guess if one were a Harry Potter fanatic and had the time to invest in screenshotting, one could glean substantially more.

This is way more time than what I would invest, but thanks for saring with the world. I'm so adding a link to your site to mine. Thanks for the information.

Honestly, this is a disappointment. Since she can't go back on her words saying that she will not create any more public HP books, she may have wanted to create this 'public' hype about her 'private' books for 'good' causes. To me it sounds like hype for her new children books, thus a continuous stream of loyal ex-HP fans who will follow her every publishing (who are young). Besides, it really was the HP fans who stayed true to the series and thus should not have to be thanked in the end this way. I can only hope that the rest of the movie series will stay true to the book and JK will at least be instrumental in seeing to that. I can attest that it was you, the fans, who helped create the magic of HP most of all.
