How exciting! I hope that the person(s) that purchase this card are kind enough to share it with the world like Amazon did with Tales. I wonder if it’s about Harry’s parents, the Marauders, or other characters.

Lovely thought Ms. Rowling but I don’t get the logic of this. The fans have been asking about a prequel forever and suddenly we hear about all these charity only auctions. I don’t see why she can’t just get this published and use the profits for the mentioned charities like she did with the Fantastic Beasts book and the Quidditch book. Look at how many those were sold. I wonder if she has forgotten the average fan who can only afford the regular books.

Thank goodness Waterstone is going to post a copy of it on their website the day after the auction. I’m so excited to read it!

Well, it would be nice if she wrote something that the rest of us could actually afford and read.

You will be able to read it—on the Waterstone website the day after the sale.

I think that its lovely what Jo is doing for charities, and I’m thrilled to be able to read anything else in this universe that she chooses to write. Online, offline—whatever. I’m just thrilled!
