| | | Potter prequel sets short story sales record
The Harry Potter prequel, featuring Sirius Black and James Potter, written on a storycard for charity, has become the fastest selling short story of all time, with 10,000 copies of the storycard book (featuring other authors' contributions as well) being sold in a day.
The original raised £25,000 for charity ( Dyslexia Action and English PEN) and the story itself was later revealed online by Waterstone's for all to read. All proceeds from the sell-out book also go to the above charities. Quote:
"Fans have been desperate to own this limited edition piece of Harry Potter history," said Toby Bourne, Waterstone's head of children's buying. "Pre-orders flooded in from all over the world. Demand was so big that we stopped taking pre-orders to ensure customers had a chance to buy the book in stores."

It was fantastic that JKR wrote a short prequel. What I wouldn't give to have the original copy in my possession!

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. |
