J.K. Rowling told the audience of her tea party today at the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh that she had written her latest book, Beedle the Bard, because the fans wanted her to and that she also has a fear of spiders, just like Ron Weasley.

You can also read a report from MuggleNet, as well as some photos from outside the event where author Ian Rankin, Matthew Lewis, Devon Murray, and Evanna Lynch were in attendance.
