Potter returns, in two price brackets
Today is a glorious day for Harry Potter fans.
Just when you thought Hogwarts-mania had passed, J.K. Rowling provides what is essentially the Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales of her wizarding world: The Tales of Beedle the Bard.
This collection of five vignettes was announced last December, and there are not one but two options for those craving the latest Harry Potter installment: the Standard Edition, which can be found at your local bookstore, or the Collector's Edition, available only at Amazon.
For roughly $85 more, you get not only the tales themselves, but extra ready-for-framing illustrations, a replication of Rowling's hand-written introduction and an outer case decorated with skulls and faux gems.
Me? I'll be sticking with the $12.99 version.
But no matter the edition you spring for, you'll be happy to know that the net proceeds will benefit the Children's Voice Campaign, which campaigns for youths rights throughout Europe. The happy recipient will just be happy to know that for now, Rowling isn't done with The Boy Who Lived.
