Well, yes and no...
There is a new book coming out in December by J.K. Rowling, entitled The Tales of Beedle the Bard. This book offers readers a chance to read the complete collection of fairytales given to the character Hermione Granger in the final Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. (Only one of these five tales were included in the final story.)
Rowling originally wrote the stories and hand-bound seven copies herself, giving six to close friends and auctioning off the final copy for charity last year. Now she has decided to make the collection available to the public, with proceeds going to her charity.
From the Associated Press: A British charity said Thursday it hopes to raise 4 million pounds ($8 million) through sales of "The Tales of Beedle the Bard." Rowling co-founded The Children's High Level Group charity, which supports institutionalized children. She has signed over her royalties.

I can't wait till this comes out. Even though I havn't read the books, I know this movie will be great. I also can't wait till this movie comes out on DVD because I want to watch it over and over again.
The Tales of Beedle the Bard are truly the fairy tales of the Wizarding World. I cannot wait to read it. However I am kind of upset that Warner Brothers pushed the new Harry Potter movie's release date until next summer and we still have to wait for the seventh and eighth HArry Potter movies until the saga is complete.
