HARRY POTTER - SECRET HARRY POTTER BOOK TO GO ON SALE

A secret HARRY POTTER book is set to go under the hammer for $100,000 (GBP50,000) at a special auction in London. The Tales Of Beedle The Bard was produced as a farewell to the boy wizard by author J.K. Rowling, and proceeds of the sale will go to benefit The Children's Voice campaign; a charity Rowling established to help vulnerable children. The tome - handwritten and illustrated by Rowling - is being sold off at London auction house Sotheby's on 13 December (07), but the almost unique volume will be available for fans to view from 9 December until the sale four days later. Rowling produced seven copies of The Tales Of Beedle The Bard, all of which are different, but are each leather bound and decorated with silver ornaments and moonstones. The book is a volume of five fairytales given to Potter character Hermione Granger by Albus Dumbledore in the final book of the series, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows. Only one of the tales appears in the widely-released book.
