JK Rowling's Unpublished Fairy Tales Sold for $4 Million



A staff member displays the manuscript "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" by J.K. Rowling at Sotheby's auction house in London Thursday. The manuscript, a collection of wizarding fairy tales, handwritten and extensively illustrated by the author, was sold for 1,950,000 pounds (U.S $3,985,410.)


J.K. Rowling of Harry Potter fame has just sold a rare collection of her unpublished fairy tales for $4 million. The money will go to her charity.

J.K. Rowling is enjoying her fame and fortune like other celebrities as shown in the following picture of her recent luxury holiday. She cruised the Galapagos at a cost of around £15,000, blown £14,000 on a holiday in Mauritius and enjoyed the comforts of a £6,000-a week suite.

I'm surprised she has time to go to the beach seeing as she's off filing lawsuits on anyone who happens to build, write, etc. anything she remotely images has something to do with HP.

Roxan,
Well, I am happy she is having fun happily married and taking care of her children and doing a lot for charity.

Cheers and God bless.
