A Harry Potter prequel up for auction!
Well, kind of, anyway. It’s only 800 words, but still! It’s one of 13 notecard-sized stories by famous authors to be auctioned off for charity. Here are some of the other authors who participated:
- Michael Rosen
- illustrator Axel Scheffler
- graphic novelist Neil Gaiman
- Lisa Appignanesi
- Richard Ford
- Lauren Child
- Irvine Welsh
- Sebastian Faulks
- Nick Hornby, who plastered his card with a collage
- Nobel Prize winner Doris Lessing
- novelist Margaret Atwood
- playwright Tom Stoppard
No word yet on what it was exactly that JK Rowling wrote; we’ll know after June 10, when the auction gets going. What do you think she wrote? What would YOU write?

I wouldn’t mind Rowling writing a series of prequel books on James, Sirius and Lupin growing up. We could have them tangling with the beginnings of Valdemort’s rise to power and the creation of deatheaters. We all already love Sirius and Lupin, and it would be cool to get to know James, Lily and Snape as they grew up.

whatever she writes, i know it will be terrific (although i’d love to know a bit more about hermione or the marauder)
i hope someone buys this that lets us fans see it! this sounds really greedy but she should write more for the fans and give that money to charity like she did for the quiddich through the ages and fantastic beasts and where to find them.

sorry for 3 posts in a row but on http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.com it says that the prequel will 3 years before harry is born and involves james potter and sirius black… so they’d be 17? last year at hogwarts possibly? interesting…
