how will we be able to buy a copy if it's an auction?


If you look at the MSNBC story here you'll see that the cards will be made into a book and made available to the public.

SQUEE! I am so excited!

You're not the only one! I really hope that she had so much fun writing it, that she won't be able to stop! Even if she doesn't write a proper book, a book filled with short stories would be awesome! I may actually prefer that, because then she doesn't have to worry about trying to fit everything in to the story line - she can just jump back and forth between subjects and time-frames.

TonksLives, I'd also like to know more about LV, and what he did after he left Hogwarts.

Because she only wrote 800 words (I'm greedy, I want more! tongue.gif ), I doubt it'll be something completely new, cos there's not enough for her to go into a lot of detail.

Oh my goodness!!! I was really sad and tired when I got onto the computer and I wasn't even going to come on Leaky at all!!! Then I found out about this!! I am really excited and I don't think I will be able to go to sleep tonight!!!! I chose other because I really would love to hear about anything and everything but I would especially love to hear more about Dumbledore's family and his past. And I would love for it to have some details about Kendra Dumbledore! I don't know why I like her so much (except for that we have the same name! That still makes me squee everytime I think about it!) So that is what I want to be in it. But just the fact that there is going to be a prequel is so amazing!

I told my dad and he said "Another one!" (But he though JKR was just trying to make money. Then I explained that it is a charity auction and he thought that was a little better but he still doesn't like it!) I am glad I can come on here and be with people who share my excitement!

the potter family would be a nice insight. that's what i voted. how it all started. 800 pages is a lot to talk about to i think a lot could be covered in that.
