Tales of Beedle the Bard
Apparently, only seven of these have been made - all handwritten and illustrated by J.K. herself.o_o As what Ron said (and one of my favorite quotes from the movies): Wicked. Check it out on Wiki! The short stories’ plots are there.^_^ 
I got so curious with what Steffi wrote about the Harry Potter prequel, so I did intensive research (read: Wikipedia) and found out that other than the prequel, J.K. also wrote Tales of Beetle the Bard, that book of stories Dumbledore willed to Hermione on the last Potter book.

Oh this reminds me! There is this British guy, John I think, who co-founded the-leaky-cauldron.org, and he got an original copy of this book by Jo herself *D*
LOL @ the wikipedia. It is surely not 100% reliable, but it’s one of the fastest and most updated online encyclopedia today, eh?

fairlady: ^_^
luty! Yeah, she auctioned off one copy of this for charity.^_^ The semi-prologue thing that steffi was talking about was auctioned off too, I think.
steffi: Whoa! Did he get it as a freebie, or was he the guy who bought it? Yeah, Wiki’s a funny source.:P I love browsing through the pages and following whatever paper trail of a word or a person I want to search for. The funniest I found so far was one of my favorite singers who messed around with his own Wiki page and made it goofy, adding weird trivia like he rips his pants on a monthly basis. Laughed my head off, but I don’t think Wiki approved, because the page became “normal” after a couple of days. Spoilsports.:P

He got it as a gift!! Leaky Cauldron is Jo’s favorite fan site anyway. Lucky guy huh, being one of the 7 ppl in the world who own the book?
.
LOL. I heart Wiki. Whenever I use d phrase ‘I googled it’, I meant I wiki-ed it. I never use Google,, yahoo search ftw. Problem is, I ‘wiki-ed’ or ‘yahoo-ed’ doesn’t sound as cool :/
.
Sometimes I wonder who are these strangers spending their time explaining ~extensively~ the meaning of this and that to other strangers :3
