5 mil for Tales of Beedle
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?

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

The covers look so pretty.
I've always wanted books with those kind-of coverered books since I was like really really young.
