The Harry Potter Prequel - READ IT HERE!
SWEEEEEETTT! The book publisher Waterstone’s website has now updated with J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter prequel, which sold for a ton of money in a charity auction this week (you can read more about the prequel’s other authors here). Here, in its entirety (800 words), is the Harry Potter Prequel.
The Harry Potter Prequel, by JK Rowling
The speeding motorcycle took the sharp corner so fast in the darkness that both policemen in the pursuing car shouted ‘whoa!’ Sergeant Fisher slammed his large foot on the brake, thinking that the boy who was riding pillion was sure to be flung under his wheels; however, the motorbike made the turn without unseating either of its riders, and with a wink of its red tail light, vanished up the narrow side street.
‘We’ve got ‘em now!” cried PC Anderson excitedly. ‘That’s a dead end!”
Leaning hard on the steering wheel and crashing his gears, Fisher scraped half the paint off the flank of the car as he forced it up the alleyway in pursuit.
There in the headlights sat their quarry, stationary at last after a quarter of an hour’s chase. The two riders were trapped between a towering brick wall and the police car, which was now crashing towards them like some growling, luminous-eyed predator.
There was so little space between the car doors and the walls of the alley that Fisher and Anderson had difficulty extricating themselves from the vehicle. It injured their dignity to have to inch, crab-like, towards the miscreants. Fisher dragged his generous belly along the wall, tearing buttons off his shirt as he went, and finally snapping off the wing mirror with his backside.
‘Get off the bike!’ he bellowed at the smirking youths, who sat basking in the flashing blue light as though enjoying it.
They did as they were told. Finally pulling free from the broken wind mirror, Fisher glared at them. They seemed to be in their late teens. The one who had been driving had long black hair; his insolent good looks reminded Fisher unpleasantly of his daughter’s guitar-playing, layabout boyfriend. The second boy also had black hair, though his was short and stuck up in all directions; he wore glasses and a broad grin. Both were dressed in T-shirts emblazoned with a large golden bird; the emblem, no doubt, of some deafening, tuneless rock band.
‘No helmets!’ Fisher yelled, pointing from one uncovered head to the other. ‘Exceeding the speed limit by - by a considerable amount!’ (In fact, the speed registered had been greater than Fisher was prepared to accept that any motorcycle could travel.) ‘Failing to stop for the police!’
‘We’d have loved to stop for a chat,’ said the boy in glasses, ‘only we were trying -’
‘Don’t get smart - you two are in a heap of trouble!’ snarled Anderson. ‘Names!’
‘Names?’ repeated the long-haired driver. ‘Er - well, let’s see. There’s Wilberforce… Bathsheba… Elvendork…’
‘And what’s nice about that one is, you can use it for a boy or a girl,’ said the boy in glasses.
‘Oh, OUR names, did you mean?’ asked the first, as Anderson spluttered with rage. ‘You should’ve said! This here is James Potter, and I’m Sirius Black!’
‘Things’ll be seriously black for you in a minute, you cheeky little -’
But neither James nor Sirius was paying attention. They were suddenly as alert as gundogs, staring past Fisher and Anderson, over the roof of the police car, at the dark mouth of the alley. Then, with identical fluid movements, they reached into their back pockets.
For the space of a heartbeat both policemen imagined guns gleaming at them, but a second later they saw that the motorcyclists had drawn nothing more than -
‘Drumsticks?’ jeered Anderson. ‘Right pair of jokers, aren’t you? Right, we’re arresting you on a charge of -’
But Anderson never got to name the charge. James and Sirius had shouted something incomprehensible, and the beams from the headlights had moved.
The policemen wheeled around, then staggered backwards. Three men were flying - actually FLYING - up the alley on broomsticks - and at the same moment, the police car was rearing up on its back wheels.
Fisher’s knees bucked; he sat down hard; Anderson tripped over Fisher’s legs and fell on top of him, as FLUMP - BANG - CRUNCH - they heard the men on brooms slam into the upended car and fall, apparently insensible, to the ground, while broken bits of broomstick clattered down around them.
The motorbike had roared into life again. His mouth hanging open, Fisher mustered the strength to look back at the two teenagers.
‘Thanks very much!’ called Sirius over the throb of the engine. ‘We owe you one!’
‘Yeah, nice meeting you!’ said James. ‘And don’t forget: Elvendork! It’s unisex!’
There was an earth-shattering crash, and Fisher and Anderson threw their arms around each other in fright; their car had just fallen back to the ground. Now it was the motorcycle’s turn to rear. Before the policemen’s disbelieving eyes, it took off into the air: James and Sirius zoomed away into the night sky, their tail light twinkling behind them like a vanishing ruby.
What did you think? Who do you think the guys in the alley were? Why were James and Sirius trying to go so fast on their bikes? So many questions!

If Rowling writes a 8th book Harry, Ron, and Hermione are likely to be afected by the people on brooms. The people on brooms cuold be anyone death eaters, Voldemort,or even Harry Ron and Hermione.

I’m guessing the “large golden bird” was a phoenix. So, let’s just say that James and Sirius decided to show their support for the Order of the Phoenix with their T-shirts, and the Order rightly didn’t want their whole cover blown, so the three people were actually Order members trying to get hold of them and scold their ears off about being conspicuous. I say this because James and Sirius acted more like Harry when he’s dodging detention with Snape than Harry when he’s escaping Death Eaters. Ha ha ^_^

Since the story includes the view of the policemen on the appearance of James and Sirius, I would think the “large golden bird” on their shirts are actually the golden snitch since the police would never know what they were, and would be likely to call them birds since they have no idea what it is.
I really enjoyed reading this, and I hope she writes more because I miss looking forward to her new novels.

Some of these comments are hilarious and retarded at the same time.
1. There was no Order of the Phoenix when James and Sirius were teenagers.
2. The golden bird could not be a phoenix; they’re red. Could’ve been snitches.
3. The three people could not have been order members obviously, because as I said, the order did not exist at the time, and secondly, James and Sirius wouldn’t hurt their friends and let them fall off broomsticks (after using spells on them) and running away….God people, think before you type.
yoh
Jun 22, 2008 at 09:07
Jeez, Matrix, maybe YOU should think before you type. Mariana made a mistake because she didn’t know any of that, but you’re just being a jerk. You shouldn’t call people retarded or thoughtless just because they haven’t spent all their time obsessing over Lexicon, as you obviously have. And the phoenix has red and gold plumage, so yes, it could have been a phoenix. It could have been a snitch, too, or any of a hundred things that aren’t described in the Harry Potter books but probably would exist in their world.
Wow

Official word from JK Rowling: the prequel will NOT be made into a movie
Jun 25, 2008 at 10:45
[…] Rowling has officially announced that the Harry Potter prequel will NOT be made into any kind of movie, film, or short video. Here’s the official word from […]

Jun 26, 2008 at 07:58
So, Matrix. Have you READ Order Of The Phoniex, or seen the movie? Sirius gives Harry a picture of the O.O.T.P and all the marauders are member as well as Lily, Frank, Alice and a buntch of other people.
Anyway, I liked the prequel and JK really needs to write some more Harry Potter material.
Elvendork! It’s unisex!
Jun 26, 2008 at 14:16
WoOoOoW this is awesome! i cnt wait to read more maaan! but the problem is that jk rowling is not going to write more! maybe, she’ll change her mind for her fellow writers! Seriously, this is full of cliffhangers!
Yess you are rite 14hp1, Mad eye moody give a picture with all order of the phoenix members to harry in the 5th book, so therefore it did exist when james n sirius were quite young. Also, this story happened 3 years before harry was born (jk rowling quoted herself)so the order of the phoenix was actually existing.
But when i read this i thought it was a snitch, not a phoenix on their shirt!
Oh gosh these two, james and sirius, they are sooooooooooo like fred n george! we need a pair like this for each generation loool

tres harsh 14hp1. I’m sure matrix has read the book. but i think he or she has a good point. voldermort fell out of power when harry was one. and we’ll say that james and lily were what? 25ish when she got pregnant, so that would put good ol’ voldy in power for like eight years with the o.o.t.p. starting as soon as he was gaining power. plus the origional order logically should’ve been created after james and sirius graduated because they WERE the origional order remember? and i don’t think dumbledore would’ve recruited students

wow! the prequel was awesome and i think another great idea for an 800 hundred word story would be a continuation of the ninteen years later in the back of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. U rock J k Rowling!
Pardon my misspellings, grammer mistakes, and/ or my use of words that aren’t real.
P.S.
I agree with 14hp1 and yoh, if your so positve that some of some peoples’ comments are “retarded,” reread yours and read the actual Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Matrix!

Jul 7, 2008 at 14:35
uh, matrix, maybe i was a little harsh, a bit, but i can tell you were writing about mariana’s comment thingie, and you shouldn’t judge. and fearn, #1, the prequel said older teens, and that could have meant like 18 or 19 year olds, and they’d be out of school, and #2, if you have read the last hp book, you could see from the dates on harry’s parents’ grave thing, that it says:
James Potter
Born 27 March 1960
Died 31 October 1981
Lily Potter
Born 30 January 1960
Died 31 October 1981
Obviously, harry was one and so he was born in 1980. also, if you do the math, this means both parents were the age of 20 when they had harry, so, well, i kinda lost my point, and i didn’t want to erase all of this typing, so sorry for wasting your time with all of this now worthless garbage. but the first sentence is still not apoligized for and remember that pardon i wrote in my last comment

why couldnt the golden bird just have been the griffendor symbol? they sound like teenagers and thus still in school. they didnt necessarily have to be death eaters either. just saying, some of yall think too much too. its just a story. take it for what it is.

i thought it was ok, to me it did not make much sense, but if the flying bird was gold, apparently it cant be a snitch because snitched are SMALL golden balls that they use in quittige.

I just wanted to say that I’m almost positive that James and Sirius are members of the Ootp in this story.
I don’t know how many of you know this but James & Lily were barely 20 years old when they had Harry. By then they had already become Ootp members. And James is apparently in his late-teens in this prequel.
I wouldn’t be surprised if James had already married Lily by the time of this story.

The O.O.T.P existed since HE_WHO_MUST_NOT BE_NAMED came to full power……..so they could be order members BUT am sure they are not order members……look they were really powerful wizards who HE_WHO_MUST_NOT BE_NAMED tried to kill…..they could have earned some good enemies…….

I think she only wrote this to look good after she made such a big deal over people wanting to write “about” Harry Potter books or guides to Harry Potter books which is not stealing copyright to do that but she got a lawyer and went after the guy anyway.
If she wants more attention or feels the need to write then she write more books, if not this is the end. She sure does not need the money.

Jul 20, 2008 at 09:46
that really wasnt worth reading…aparently this went for just under $50000…anyone could have written this! and by the way…i’ve seen some comments on this page were people are suggesting who could be on the broomsticks and I’d just like to say that this was prequel was set 3 years before Harry was born…so how on earth could it be Harry, Ron and Hermione on the broomsticks!? I’ve also read some comments were the writer is under the impression that there is going to be an 8th book….sorry but it should be obvious to you (if you’ve actually read the books) that there is not going to be an 8th book (sorry to burst your bubbles) so please stop leaving such stupid comments

I thought it was great. At first I was like is this really a prequel cuz of no HP characters but then I found out later that the ones being pulled over are Sirius and James. They reminded me of Fred and George always getting into mischief. I’m curios to find out what went flying by in such a noise. It could have been Dumbledore or something. IDK, it’s hard to say. TERRIFIC!!!:)

Jul 31, 2008 at 22:24
…In reply to the second comment…Harry, Ron, and Hermione probablyyyy didnt exist at the time…seeings as james is a teenager and all, and even more so, this is a prequel. Second, Matrix, before you start rambling about how other people are “retarded”, maybe we should read the books, yes? The Order was originally set up to fight Voldemort during his first rise to power. I dont remember if it was this early in james and siriuses lives, but it very well could have. It was then re-formed during the second rise.

Aug 1, 2008 at 03:13
Matrix - If you have read the books you would know voldemort tried recruiting james and such when they were in school but they showed loyalty to the Order thus the Order did exist I agree they would not attack members and the Phoniex is red and gold but it jus states gold therefore I believe it to be a snitch as well (Qudditch Through Out the Ages states the snitch was originally a bird)

Aug 1, 2008 at 03:34
Ah I almost forgot about age as well the prequel does say older teens and anyways some students graduated at 17 it jus depends on their birthday but I’m not sure about james and sirius don’t feel like doing the math right now :P and voldemort started recruiting when he was in school some 50 years back and I know he was in power before they left school I wanna say he had been in power for 10 or more years before he killed the potters

1. The Order did exist. It was made back then to fight Voldemort during his first rise in power.
2. Sirus and James were both full time members.
3. The people on the broomsticks were probably death eaters or ministry people. Why? Because they were breaking the rules by going so fast. A speed the police thought was impossible breaking the rule of no magic in front of muggles.

Aug 8, 2008 at 14:51
Erm, actually ‘matrix’, if your going to pick on every detail, it doesn’t say anywhere in that prequel that james and sirius are teenagers? so, theres one thing presumed, as for the t-shirts, i think its more likely to be phoenix. snitches are like a round ball, im sure a man wouldnt see that as a bird? however, could be wrong - as for the phoenix being red, thats not correct, its not fully red, maybe the t-shirts were gold because that was the colours on the ‘tag’ for the order?!.. deffinately should be more books! i miss them :( Oh, and also i would like to say that considering your of age and leave school at the age of 17 (hogwarts) even if they were teenagers in this prequel - they still have 2 teenage yrs left to become in the order. they could have even been in there early 20’s for this if you really want to look into it :)

Aug 8, 2008 at 18:11
James and Sirius were born in 1960.
Voldemort’s first rise to power occured during the period of 1970->1981 which was when Sirius and James were 10-21.
This was also the period of time when Dumbledore created the Order.
So if they appeared to be in their late teens, they were probably just a couple years before James and Lily were killed.
Given that setting I’d guess they were probably on the bike giving deatheaters the run-around.
The golden birds on their t-shirts were probable some sort of symbol of the Order. Yes Phoenix birds are not golden, but logos and symbols often are symbolic colours. (Such as the red, white, and blue elephant of the United State’s Republican party)
Wizards don’t wear t-shirts, so these were probably only worn by these two who wanted to get a rise out of death eaters. Sort of a “come and get some!” sort of statement.

the order was around when james becuase moody says in book 5 order of the phenix moody says is been around for over 20 years i think you should take a leaf out your own book MATE think before you type and stop thinking your some harry potter god .
swanibino
Aug 10, 2008 at 19:05
Wow, this whole prequel thing was really unexpected, but I thought it was great! Very amusing and slightly mysterious. My guess is that the golden bird was a phoenix, maybe representing the OOTP (which DID exist back then.) As for the three unidentified characters, I dont think they were death eaters (why would they care about two goof balls riding a motorcycle?) so my guess is that they were either Ministry Muggle Manager people there to make sure no muggles would witness magic, or some other type of authority figures. However, there is definitely something about this prequel that no one but JK Rowling will ever understand. This was a very interesting prequel to the legendary series that will live on through the ages . . .

matrix the o.o.t.p. had to be around becuase voldemort was around 4 about 50 years so the could have joined when their were done with school and it could very well be a phenix and u should think before u type becuse that comment was pretty dumb

The people on the broomsticks are death eaters. sirius and james were probably runnin away because of the death eaters on the broomsticks chasing them before the police men came. They were probablt on OOTP orders at the time it happened. Make better comments ppl. Its easy enough to get ur head round it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It didn’t sound like JK’s stuff….It was ok to read, but it wasn’t a very good prequel…It didn’t say much for being a prequel, but I enjoyed reading it and it was well written

Hmmm, definately very intersting!! Just a bit short though!:(
Oh, Matrix! Where do you get off dissing people? And I think in future you should think BEFORE you write! Because there WAS an Oder of the Phoenix, because Mad-eye (not Sirius 14hp1) showed Harry a picture of the Original Order of the phoenix, which included James and Sirius!
But the prequel itself was quite intersting!!! ahhh, I miss Harry Potter!!!!

True 14hp1, Sirius did give Harry the picture of the Order members but that was when they were adults; in this prequel they are only teenagers. Nevertheless, it could still have been a Pheonix because they have red and gold feathers.

Your ‘friend’ Daniel Radcliffe? Haha, sure. Right, we totally believe you. Please take your time to notice the sarcasm in that last sentence.

Well actually it’s not that I’m jealous of anything. It’s just that I’ve heard thousands of people saying they know Dan when they don’t and I’ve come to not believe anyone that says they’re close to him, blah blah blah. Of course, It would be fun to be his friend, I’m not jealous because there are so much more people that I would rather meet before him if you know what I mean.

Clare, Dumbledore first formed the order it the 1970’s. They graduated in 1977 or 1978, so they could have been in the order when they were 17/18.
Check the Hp-Lexicon.

Oh yeah, true. Yeah and since they were using magic outside Hogwarts then we could assume that they were overage (Or not, seeing as they are trouble-makers…) but let’s go with that shall we XD

I think they’re of agre, or over age because I don’t think they’d go as far as to break the law. The things they do are more ‘just for fun’ than anything illegal. ‘Cept the animaus thing, but they had good reason for that. ;)

It’s interesting how people are debating whether they are being chased by the Ministry or deatheaters. Around the time this story takes place the Ministry has been heavily infiltrated by the death eaters via the imperius curse and and other means. At that time, it’s the same difference.

I think JK should just tell us who the three ppl were. That wud surely stop all the debating. I dont care how small d prequel was, I wud just loved to read more.
