"I am absolutely delighted that so much money has been raised," Rowling said.

"I would like to thank everyone who has so far purchased a copy of the book.

"All royalties will be going to help children without families, many of them with disabilities, whose voices have been unheard for many years."

On the CHL website, further comments can be found from charity officials:

Richard Alderslade, Chief Executive of CHLG, said: "We had no idea what to expect in terms of sales figures so we are thrilled by such impressive sales in the first week alone. Whatever the final total, and we do hope that Beedle stays on top of the bestsellers list for Christmas, the project will certainly raise a huge amount to fund our work, giving hundreds of thousands of vulnerable children across Central and Eastern Europe a better life. Each time someone opens a copy of Beedle this Christmas or gives it as a gift, they will be making a difference to the life of a vulnerable child living not so very many miles away.


"Once again, we'd like to extend our thanks to JK Rowling for her ongoing support and for the wonderful gift of Beedle; not only the beautiful handcrafted copy we auctioned last year, but for allowing us to publish the tales so that people everywhere can enjoy them."[/en]

«از اینکه این کتاب به این فروش بالا دست پیدا کرده به شدت خوشحالم»
«باید از تمام کسانی که نسخه ای از این کتاب را خریداری کرده اند تشکر کنم»
«تمام سود این کتاب به کودکانی خواهد رسید که از نعمت داشتن خانواده محرومند. بسیاری از آنان نا توانی جسمی دارند که برای سال ها کسی صدایشان را نشنیده بود»

همچنین رییس اجرایی این موسسه خیریه نیز از این فروش بالا ابراز شگفتی و خوشحالی نموده است.
