Yay! I like squee-d for ten minutes after hearing the excerpt (read beautifully by Lizo, I may add). I can’t wait to read the story. It will be so amazingly awesome! And to all those people saying its not a lot, I mean, come on. This is about twice the size of your average index card, and raked in almost $50,000! Only JKR could rake in that much for a note card. Anyway, can’t wait for tomorrow!
Congrats on the sale. I have pre-ordered three sets of the cards, one for me, two as gifts.
Thanks Mrs. Rowling.
I am so excited that Jo could raise 25k for the charty. Something is weighing heavy on me and I need to say it. I believe that Leaky is being a little irresponsible in headlining this and reporting this as a prequel. This is in Jo’s own words, “An excerpt from a prequel I am not writing…” This is an excerpt and should not be reported as a prequel. 800 words or no inside the article does not legitimize the headline or the article stating that this is a prequel.
Oh my gosh, that is so great!!! I wasn’t expecting a post-Hogwarts adventure of James and Sirius! :)
Wow, I am quite impressed. Yet, I am most excited to read read read!

can’t wait to read it. they should totally put this scene in one of the new movies. it won’t be in chronological order, but it could still be a flashback, or memory- ANYTHING!! it could possibly be a great starting scene for movie #8
That is VERY impressive, for an 800 word card! I think you’re right, erictipton, it is a bit “erroneous” to label it “a prequel”...anyway, for those who think that “Pottermania is declining”, I don’t think so! IMHO, it’s even bigger. It’s just not quite as “vocal”...I imagine that those, bidding on this AND Beadle The Bard, were not children! It shows just how many adults enjoy Harry! Good on you, Jo! You’re a wonder. :D
Sue, I meant to thank you, for such great reporting! Leaky is always the best, and YOU are the “best of the best!” :D
haha, i’m so used to avoiding potter spoilers before things are released that this post made me really anxious. they officially have me trained :P
i love ron weasley and yay!! so much $$$ for charity- thats really good, cant wait to read it! SQUEE!! ( that ones for you sue, melissa, john, frak) :)
Hem hem.
