JK Rowling, author of the best-selling Harry Potter series, hopes to make £20 million to help orphaned children. Proceeds from The Tales of Beedle the Bard (released on the 4th December) will be donated to the the Children’s High Level Group that supports parentless children in Eastern Europe. Rowling co-founded the charity after witnessing the heartbreaking plight of children at a care home in Prague, Czech Republic.
JK Rowling is a great donator to charity and in the future she intends to publish a Harry Potter encyclopedia with all profits going to charity. Coca-Cola were forced to give $18m to the American charity Reading is Fundamental in return for being allowed to rights to the movie tie-ins.

Twilight movie trailer
TWILIGHT is an action-packed, modern day love story between a vampire and a human. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother remarries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect much of anything to change.
