J.K. To Add to Harry Potter!

According to USA Today, J.K. Rowling will publish The Tales of Beefle the Bard, which is mentioned heavily in the seventh and final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The bad news? There will only be seven copies published. One will be auctioned and the other six will be given away as gifts.

I wonder if we will ever get to experience the Tales...

But I do have some good news:

Rowling has said she plans to produce her own encyclopedia of the wizarding world...
