Will JK Rowling's new "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" eventually be for sale?

On her website

i do really hope that the books are eventually available... it would be really interesting to read, and i'd rather have a book than seeing some leaked version on the internet.

I think they will be available...but not in "the search for more money" (though I do love Mel Brooks).  When they go on sale all the proceeds will go to a charity just like those other 2 side books she wrote.

i think they will be, eventually and if they are if will totally be worth it. But if everyone else in the world got to read them before her selected family and friends, it would kind of ruin it really.. they wouldn't be as special.

I may be one of a (very small) minority, but I don't think the 'Tales' should be published. Even though I'm a huge HP fan, I'd like to think that I appreciate the series as a writer as well as a reader. I like loose ends, unexplored/unresolved plots - they make stories interesting.Why does every loose end of the story have to be satisfied because of her "obligation to her fans" ? We survived without knowing what happend at the end of the Sopranos - I think we can live without a few wizarding fairy tales. And even if she eventually published the 'Tales', readers would be satisfied for, hmm, 4 hours at the most (average reading of  600+ page HP book for average rabid fan = 2 days) before clamoring about Rowling needing to write an account of what happend between the 19 years of the last two chapters in book 7.

Or a copy of Rita Skeeter's tell-all book about Dumbledore. 

Or, just for kicks, a short, 10-book series on the Marauders (Hogwarts years and leading up to James and Lily's deaths)

Or a small  string of Martin the Mad Muggle comic books (with a follow-up movie, perhaps. By Marvel.) 

So to those 6 people with copies of the 'Tale', more power to you. I think the only reason that we even KNOW about the manuscript's existence was to raise more money for the auction.

($3.98 million dollars for one book? Mission -freakin' - accomplished.)

My guess is that the only way the rest of us poor schlubs will end up seeing a copy of it will be after waiting for hours in line at Harry Potter Land to catch a painfully short glimpse of it behind 7-inch bulletproof glass, a la the Hope Diamond. Or Mona Lisa. 

No, sadly it will not be released.

There is a clause attached with owning this book, which Amazon bought for 1.9 million Pounds, that it will not be released, published, or given, to anyone else except inside the owners original family, and that by owning it, you submit yourself to those laws, or else, lets face it, you're screwed. 

In the words of Mel Brooks, "The Search for More Money"...

I think it will very quickly leak on the web and then it will be grudgingly published, not before the Harry Potter books got a nice boost out of it if anyone has managed to miss the earlier release of nook 7.
