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?

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.

... and now, JK will be publishing Beedle the Bard for the general masses.

I'm a little wtf? at the moment.

Oh, GOD, I just read that in the papers, and immediately came here to post it. You beat me to it. I am in between "wtf?" and "OH. MY. GOD."

I wanna get it 🙂

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