Rowling releases new book
BY BEN MCCONVILLE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
EDINBURGH, Scotland — The latest magical tome by J.K. Rowling has started to fly off bookstore shelves.
Rowling was launching "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" yesterday with a tea party for 200 school children at the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh, where she lives.
The author is donating royalties from the book to a charity, which hopes it will raise millions to help vulnerable children.
Recession-hit booksellers hope the book — a collection of five fables mentioned in Rowling's saga about boy wizard Harry Potter — will give them a festive boost.
"We expect it to come straight in at No. 1 and is very likely to be our No. 1 book this Christmas," said Jon Howells of Britain's Waterstone's book store chain. "It's in with a fighting chance of being the best-selling book of the year, even though there are only a few weeks to go.
"This is J.K. Rowling, None of the usual rules apply" he said.
"Beedle the Bard" is being published Thursday in more than 20 countries, with a global print run of almost 8 million. But is generating only a fraction of the fanfare that greeted the Potter novels.
Rowling is donating her royalties to the Children's High Level Group, a charity she co-founded to support institutionalized children in Eastern Europe. The book is published on behalf of the charity by Harry Potter's traditional publishers — Scholastic in North America and Bloomsbury elsewhere.
Rowling, whose Harry Potter books have sold more than 400 million copies and been translated into 67 languages, wrote the Beedle tales after finishing "Deathly Hallows" last year.
Rowling has described "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" as a distillation of the themes found in the Harry Potter books, calling it her goodbye to a world she lived in for 17 years.
One of the stories, "The Tale Of The Three Brothers," is recounted in "Deathly Hallows," in which the storybook helps Harry and his friends defeat evil Lord Voldemort.

HOROSCOPES
The trouble you're facing now is that a lot of your ideas just don't seem to work on the first try. Knowing this ahead of time gives you an advantage. Be careful.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 7
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 7
You love your friends dearly,
but that doesn't mean you let
them make your decisions
especially in financial matters,
as if you didn't know. Have
fun, but don't get stuck paying
more than you should.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 7
Stay out of an argument between a hostad and a dreamer. Stay calm, cool and collected, and you'll win them over without saying a word.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 7
New experiences and new faces help you appreciate the old, familiar ones you've had around for years. Share a laugh over something that temporarily had you baffled.
Keep punching the time clock and doing the job. You're building up your reserves. Pass on the after-work beer with the boys; you need every cent you can save.
Leo (July 23-Aug.22) Today is a 7
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 6
Do what needs to be done and get home as soon as you can. Your frustrations will be eased by the comforts of your own hearth. Everything will turn out fine.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is an 8
The deadline is approaching,
so pick up the pace. You're
doing this on speculation. You
don't know what you'll get back.
Do your best. That always
makes you feel better.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 6
It is not a good day to gamble, or even to go shopping. Don't add to the confusion. Coach the younger people on budgets, but not in public, at the mail.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Todav is a 7
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19) Today is a 7
Listen as someone else unloads his or her anxieties and fears. Resist the urge to make suggestions, if you possibly can. The other person just needs to vent.
Your best source of income now is from stuff you already have. Sell things you don't need anymore, and finish work that you've promised. It's also a good time to collect old debts.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
Today is an 8
Your friends come through for you, just in the nick of time. Don't worry about a person who has a hot temper. Don't get your feelings hurt. It has nothing to do with you.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
