How much is The Tales of Beedle the Bard worth?

Amazon.com purchased the book for a whopping $3.98 million.

Is The Tales of Beedle the Bard rare?

Handmade edition Originally The Tales of Beedle the Bard had only been produced in a limited number of seven handmade copies, all handwritten and illustrated by the author herself.

How many tales of Beedle the Bard are there?

The book contains five such tales and is a scant 107 pages and can literally be read in under an hour. The five tales are wonderfully written in Rowling's ironic and cheerful voice, but they are not her voice either. They are told in the voice of Beedle the Bard.

How much is 1st edition of The Deathly Hallows worth?

The main characteristics of a 1997 first edition first issue are a print line that reads 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 and the crediting of "Joanne Rowling", not JK. Prices on AbeBooks vary from $40,000 to $55,000. A handful of advance proof copies are available from $7,500 to $13,500.
