New Potter Hits Stores

Could this year's must-have toy be a book? J.K Rowling's The Tales of Beetle the Bard hits shelves tomorrow, with a huge global print run of 7.5 million copies. The book is based on a volume of five wizard tales that Dumbledore, the headmaster of Harry's school, gives to his friend Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. 100,000 special collector's editions will sell on Amazon for $100. Rowling will donate all proceeds from the book to The Children's High Level Group, which promotes children's rights across Europe. Rowling has indicated that, after Beetle the Bard, she will work on a Harry Potter encyclopedia.
