In our video galleries, and embedded below, is a short wrapup of the conference and events at today's Beedle the Bard unveiling at the New York Public Library, featuring a very invested and enthusiastic Arthur Levine (co-editor of the HP books).
That embedded video comes from our PotterCast YouTube channel, to which you should subscribe! Also make sure to check our Leaky Video Galleries daily for an amazing archive of Potter-related clips!
I was at the event this morning at the NYPL. Levine compared Rowling’s stories in Tales of Beedle the Bard to the stories of the Brothers Grimm and other fairy tale writers. I spoke to experts about it, comparing what Levine said about the Beedle tales to what experts say about fairy tales. I wrote about it here: http://blogs.journalism.cuny.edu/interactivefundamentals/2008/12/03/modern-day-fairytales/

"You're worth twelve of Malfoy," Harry said. "The Sorting Hat chose you

Neville's lips twitched in a weak smile as he unwrapped the frog.
Cool.
