If you have read the Deathly Hallows you may be famailiar with this term, it is another "novel" by Rowling. It seems to be a book of wizard fables or fairy tales of the wizarding world. It goes on sale Dec 4th.

I, for one, can't wait for this. I *loved* the textbooks she did earlier and have reread them probably a dozen times each. I think this one will be great, and will be a nice little tidbit in the mythology of the HP world. I hope she does more of these, really.

I just think it's a little suspicious that she announced it's release the day before Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer (The last in the now-popular Twilight series) was released. Hmmm... (HP > Twilight, even though I love both. Hands down. )

I don't know about the continuity of the text considering Dumbledore and Hermione are involved, but I guess if it fit in anywhere that would make sense, rather than afterward. I overthink these things. But I can't wait for it, will definately purchase and recommend.

I'll probably pick this up too, especially since my Potter addiction won't be satiated by Half-Blood Prince in November anymore. I'm reading the Bartimaeus Trilogy to try and make up for it. They're awesome books (especially if you're a Potter fan I think) but they don't quite do the trick.

I will definatly be buying this since we need to wait until next July for HBP.:(
