Beedle the Bard a movie?
According to this wee article:
Because people have never turned short stories into films before...
Actually, I'd much rather see a J. K. Rowling story turned into a movie with more plot added rather than taken out, as they do with all the Harry Potter films. The Harry Potter stories aren't that spectacular to begin with; trimming the plot just makes it worse. If WB could get some talented screenwriters, they could certainly expand each of the stories into full-length films and make a huge sum. You want me to do it?
Or even better, turn them into musicals!
WB is looking for ways to squeeze more out of Potter. According to one of our regular, reliable sources, they’re hoping to do it by digging deep into other J.K. Rowling work; specifically “The Tales of Beedle The Bard”.

None of these [five] stories [within the book] seems to have any connection to the other, which ought to make it difficult for Warners to fit them all into a single film. Could they be planning five movies? That would seem unwise. These are short stories after all, it’s unlikely there’s enough material in any one story to justify a feature film.
