'Half-Blood Prince' teaser trailer | Trailer screencaps
J.K. Rowling has updated her official website today with a new news entry, FAQ answer and fan site award. Jo discusses The Tales of Beedle the Bard and reacts to the auction at which it fetched a whopping £1,950,000. In the FAQ section, Jo briefly comments on the upcoming encyclopaedia. A fan site award has also been given.
On the auction of Beedle the Bard, Jo says:
"It is fortunate that nobody was filming my reaction while the bids climbed higher and higher. Fiddy, Angela, Christine and I were sitting around Fiddy's laptop in our office (the aforementioned being my PA and the invaluable assistants who deal with the postbag), watching a live link to Sotheby's. Once the amount hit a million, I kept swearing loudly with every successive bid, and when we reached the final amount, the air turned a lovely shade of blue…
I am delighted that Amazon bought the book, and would like to thank them for their huge generosity, which will help the Children's Voice reach many, many more institutionalised children. I am also thrilled to think that the moonstone Beedle will not be mouldering alone in a vault, but will be setting off on a tour of children's libraries. Taken all in all, I could not have wished for a better outcome!"
