TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- The Persian translation of J.K. Rowling's "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" by Mohammad Nurollahi has been recently released by Behnam Publications in Iran.

Rowling wrote five stories for the book. One, "The Warlock's Hairy Heart," is not mentioned in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"; three others, "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot," "The Fountain of Fair Fortune," and "Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump," received cursory attention. "The Tale of the Three Brothers" is the only story also included in its entirety in "The Deathly Hallows," Tehran Times reported.

English Collector's Edition

The book, published by Rowling's charity the Children's High Level Group (CHLG) in collaboration with Bloomsbury, Scholastic and Amazon, has a global print run of more than eight million copies. It has been translated into 28 languages.

The charity was co-founded by Rowling and Emma Nicholson MEP and net proceeds from the book will fund work in getting vulnerable children out of institutions in Eastern Europe.
