Harry Potter prequel up for auction

'Harry Potter' author J.K. Rowling wrote an 800-word long prequel to her bestselling seven-book series - and it's up for bids tonight at a charity auction in London.

"Given the enormous interest we have seen in recent times for autograph work by J.K. Rowling, the prospects for her story card are good to say the least," said Philip Errington of Sotheby's auction house, which is running the sale. "There is just no telling how high the bidding might go."

The cards are part of the "What's Your Story? auction at Waterstone's Booksellers Ltd. flagship store. Proceeds benefit English PEN, the writers' association and Britain's Dyslexia Action. Copies of the cards will then be made into a book available in the central London store and online in August.

Waterstone's said they distributed 13 of the postcard-sized papers to authors and illustrators, including Rowling, novelist Margaret Atwood, Nobel Prize winner Doris Lessing and playwright Tom Stoppard.

Rowling hand wrote her prequel on the front and back of the card, but event organizers refused to comment on the contents.


UPDATE: The prequel sold Tuesday night for $49,323, or approximately $59 per word.

The "Queen of Mean" wardrobe up for sale

This coming May 18th, Leslie Hindman Auctioneers will put a large majority of Leona Helmsley's overdone clothing on the bidding block. Leona passed last year, with a $2.5 billion net worth, and demanded that all of her stuff be sold. The proceeds from the auction will go to the Helmsley charitable trust. Can you believe it--In her will, Leona left her little white dog a $12 million trust fun. Are you kidding??
