Those stories were so beautifully written. I really hope they will be available for the rest of us someday.

The editors’ reviews are all so touching and so respectful of Jo’s beautiful writing. I love, love, LOVE amazon.com for doing this for us. I may have cried while reading the reviews.

So if the final tale is true in HP land, are the others?

Thanks, so much, to Amazon for sharing this magical book with us. Reading the reveiwer’s comments, I can tell she is just a fan like us, who has had the happy fortune to get an intimate look into the wonders of the HP world. Just like when Luna was cast in the movies, or Melissa got to interview Jo, that feeling of fan kinship is so strong.

Absolutely and remarkably well written( by JKR) and reviewed (by Amazon.com!) @ Molly: I think these are (if I am not mistaken) Morality Tales. Like many, many “Fairy Tales”. Aesop’s Fables come to mind! It is wonderful to think that, even in the Wizarding World, tales abound. Regardless, I think they’re wonderful. Yes, like others, I hope that they will publish a book for all to enjoy. some day. Until then, we have these wonderful reviews to see.Thank you, Leaky, for keeping up with the postings. Thank you, Amazon, for sharing this beautiful body of work, with all of us! Happy Christmas, one and all, and a Bright New Year!

I’m a bit confused about whether they can publish? Jo still holds the rights? Maybe the pottercast discussion with her will illuminate. What an imagination this woman has.

They won’t publish, because of copyright issues, but they can still review it, and make us want it even more.
