Fans Prompted Beedle The Bard
By admin | December 4, 2008
Reuters is reporting on the Beedle the Bard tea party with JK Rowling and about 200 primary school students held earlier today. She spoke about herself, like her favorite authors, her love of Christmas, and her fear of spiders.
“What’s funny is, as you probably know if you’ve read Harry Potter, I gave Ron that fear. He’s terrified of spiders, and Rupert Grint, who plays Ron in the films, is absolutely petrified of spiders.”
About why Beedle the Bard was published, she said:
“The idea actually came from you, by which I mean Harry Potter fans,” Rowling told around 200 primary school children gathered at Edinburgh’s Parliament Hall for a tea party that officially launched Beedle the Bard.
“There was quite a lot of high feeling from Harry Potter fans that only someone who had two million pounds could afford to read the book. I thought ‘fair point’, so I thought ‘I’ll publish it and then the charity can have that money too’.”
