Rowling has released 5 illustarted/handwritten editions of Tales of Beedle, the children's book Dumbledore left to Hermonie in the Deathly Hallows. Amazon bought the book for $ 5 million (£1,950,000) at an auction... JK's donating the money from all the books to charity, so it's for a good cause...but 5 million, I think not!
I wonder who bought the others?

Has anyone found out anything new?

No, I think this story is pretty much done with. Although, you can find summaries of all the "Tales" on Amazon.com.
