Rowling’s Magic
Except those seven books about Harry Potter, Rowling wrote three more books about the magic world. All of them are mentioned in different parts of Harry Potter novel: for example, the latest The Tales of Beedle the Bard, written in Y2007, Albus Dumbledore signs away to Hermione in the seventh novel.
Joanne wrote and illustrated seven copies of The Tales…. All of them were interlaced with leather, and decorated with silver and semiprecious stones. Six of them the writer presented to her beloved men (among them – her agent Christopher Little, and Harry Potter - Daniel Radcliff). The seventh copy was proposed for Sotheby’s. Rowling hoped to sell it for about USD 100K, but the sales price was 40 times higher – USD 4 bln. The monies received (as well as those earned for previous supplementary books) were donated to charity.
In spite of the fact that the Harry Potter story ended a long time ago (the last book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was published in Y2007), Rowling promises to return to Harry Potter sooner or later. Meanwhile she supports her fans with small tales about saga heroes: for example, in Y2008 a small fragment was published about youth of Harry’s father and godfather.
