The album will be promoted by the preceding single "The Day That Never Comes", released in August.

The Tales of Beedle the Bard!

            

In December 2007, J.K. Rowling unveiled The Tales of Beedle the Bard, a very special book of five fairy tales illustrated by the bard herself, embellished with silver ornaments and mounted moonstones. Amazon was fortunate to come into possession of one of the original copies, and it was our privilege to share images and reviews of this incredible artifact. Now J.K. Rowling is giving millions of Harry Potter fans worldwide cause for celebration with these new editions of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, available December 4, 2008.

The Collector's Edition, Offered Exclusively by Amazon:

Rowling's handwritten introduction; 10 illustrations not featured in the Standard Edition or the original; metal skull, corners, and clasp; velvet bag embroidered with J.K. Rowling's signature; replica gemstones; and tucked inside a case disguised as a wizarding textbook from the Hogwarts library.
