The author of Harry Potter, J. K. Rowling's, 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard' meant to be a charity book, is an unofficial farewell to her long time series of Harry Potter. The book has already found a mention in the final Harry Potter adventure series, 'Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows'.

'The Tales of Beedle the Bard', comprises of five fairy tales. One among them 'The Tale of the Three Brothers' contains important clues to vanquish Lord Voldemort, which is the ultimate mission of Harry Potter.

"The Tales of Beedle the Bard is really a distillation of the themes found in the Harry Potter books, and writing it has been the most wonderful way to say goodbye to a world I loved and lived in for 17 years," the Sun quoted Rowling as writing in the sale catalogue for the auctioned copy.

The book is to be distributed by Bloomsbury in Britain, and by Scholastic in the US.

Apart from going to be good entertainer, the book is also to support a noble cause. According to the British Tabloid, proceeds from the book would be going to vulnerable children in Eastern Europe.

Rowling hopes that the tome will make a whopping amount in millions for the benefit of 'The Children's High Level Group (CHLG)' which she co-founded with European parliamentarian Emma Nicholson. The net profit would be given to the charity which protects and promotes children rights across Europe by the publishers and the retailers after having their costs covered.

Serve while you entertain.
