Rowling herself. The new Beedle book has become the fastest selling book of 2008 in the UK, selling 367,625 copies in the first three days alone, since its release on December 4, which may have lead to the rumor that Warner Brothers is already pursuing an opportunity to bring the story to the big screen.
