HIIIELLLOOO LIKE OMG

YES! 1st!! THAT'S SO AWESOME!! I WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but i thought it was some photo company? I'm confused.

but i thought it was some photo company? I'm confused.

cool!

Amazon.com--not what I expected, but okay, I'm just insanely jealous! Almost 4 million is a *bit* of out my price range! And it's a gorgeous-looking book.

I want it........ it would be really really cool! : ) : )

Cool! Andrew you are rocking today!

Oh yeah... that was me who bought the book. I just happened to have roughly FOUR MILLION DOLLARS in my pocket. LOL jk. I wish I had bought the book though- I'd love to be able to have that sort of information.

Wow. What a surprise that a normal person didn't get it.

Wow! I'm kind of glad that they got it, instead of a normal person. ;) Because then we can see more of the book (I would think) than if a very, very, VERY rich person just bought it.

go amazon! that was so good of them to bid for the book. it does make me feel better that amazon got it and not some insanely weealthy person. i just hope jkr's handwriting is legible, it seemed kind of messy in the pics!

wow that is so cool! top 15?

# 14!

Two words: HOLY CRAP. What are they planning to do with the book?

Wow, thanks Amazon.com that is in a way thanking JK Rowling for everything, I am extremely glad to see that they did such a charitable thing, sorry to see that the US Dollar has lost so much value though the Pound is twice as valuable as the dollar, I hope America doesn't collapse too much

Wait, so Amazon has it? I thought it was that print company.

Nice, someone even plugged you here. http://www.amazo n.com/gp/forum/cd/discuss ion.html/ref=cm_cd_ef_tft _tp?ie=UTF8&cdForum=FxPJ0 P7CTX98KM&cdThread=Tx1UJA KJXA2TFW0

I wish they had publishing rights. It hurts that us fan won't get the opportunity to read the tales. Of course, I am very glad for the children who will benefit from 4 million dollars!

: )

Oh man. I really want to read that book!! I hope Jo decides to publish it like she did with the Quidditch and magical creatures ones for charity as well. And well, we don't know yet who got the other 6 ones!

I wonder if it means they're going to read the book to the kids, or just let them look at the thing... if the former, there are bound to be internet leaks within a few months!

That''s pretty cool. :]

YES!!! YESYESYESYESYES!!!!!!!!!! this is exactly what I was hoping for! Now we WILL get to read it! (They can't post reviews if no one can read it! they better not) ohhh i'm so excited! i hope i get to see the book - any word on a tour schedule yet?

oh that is absolutely *beautiful* no other word for it! I wish I could see it with my own eyes, or hold it, even just a short while. just...wow... but am I the only one a bit annoyed it's written in blue ink? black or brown, with red details..mm...maybe it's just because I'm an over-enthusiastic art student:P

VERY cool. I definitely hope that they bring it to RI. That's great that it can be shared rather than have just one person own it and only the people closest to them see it. I'm excited!

very cool....thats a good idea...

Amazon, you are truly great. I love you whoever is generous enough to give us (lesser rich) people a chance to discover J.K. Rowling's creations. Truly, truly great. I am so thankful for this opportunity and will be awaiting news of the tour with bated breath!!!

aww i want it so bad. I wish they had made a print version of the book. then we could all get it, and I would have something else to read besides reading Deathly Hallows over and over again. lol. I still cant get over it. not that I have a problem reading DH all over again

AMAZON BOUGHT IT?! Lol. Woww :) I didn't see that coming. Anyway, they're very lucky =) and those shots of the book are so BEAUTIFUL !

omapwbd!! are you kidding me!? this BLOWS!!! i was hoping a die hard fan would get it and black market it!!! WTF!? Screw Amazon.com.. UGH ****... ugh i really really want that book. you have no idea. i think JKR is a huge muggle for doing this to us.

amazon is awesome! my source for books movies music and more....this is so great---I am crying.. Thank you Amazon!! Mugglenet and Mugglecast are awesome too. ---Muggle Nut Grannie

Wow, Jo is a great drawer! and to think she had to draw those things more than once, as well as the writing! i think it's cool that Amazon is gonna take it on the tour, but they were the last people that i thought would buy it.

I was so sure that someone was just going to buy it and keep to themselves, but now amazon's got it and they're sharing it. Yay! Does anyone think they might go to other countries- say a little north of the border? :)

Wow...that book is really beautiful!! Its so unique.....i wish they were gunna make mulitple copies.....i would sooooo buy one!!!!!

WOAH! Thats so weird! I didn't expect that!

Woah, Wait. Thats contradicting the earlier post, that gave a link to the CBBC News Round which in its article said this: "The book was bought by a picture dealership from London called Hazlitt, Gooden & Fox. They are a company which normally buys paintings and drawings." I don't understand whats going on with all this. ):

i find it so hard to believe that it sold for that much!!!!!!!!! yea! i was #1 on this post. :)

why?..................... .... ?????????????

I hope they go to Singapore. But really, its a goood thing that Amazon bought it, they can show it to other people. if a ordinary insanely riich person, all he would get a is a book of five short stories, one of which had already been read. I'm not saying the book is a piece of junk, but it will soon be read and them what? There will be no speculation, huge reveals, nothing. just a book of fairytales, that will soon get boring. All fairy tales get boring sooner or later. So, Im saying i would love to read it, but i wont spend four million for it. Would you give four million, for Cindereela, Rumpelstiltskin, Sleeping Beauty, Aladdin and The Three Pigs and The Wolf?

that is sooooooooooo number 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant wait to read it!!!!!!!!!

I don't use this word loosley but I can honestly say that I love Amazon! Thank you so much!!!!!!

i wonder how JK feels..........

can u believe wat harryogesh said! if its by jk rowling then it will nvr get boring just like the harry potter books!!!!!!!!

I can't believe amazon bought it but better them than some random rich person!

A CNN article says the buyer is London art agent Hazlitt, Gooden and Fox.

MUST HAVE! *DROOLS*

JO ROWLING HAS A HEART AS BIG AS THE WORLD!! £1,950,000 will do so much good for all those poor children. My family are not getting presents from me this year, because I spent my money on something more worthwhile than bits of cheap nasty mass produced rubbish that will be forgotten in less than a week and collecting dust inside a month. The money I would have spent on the aforementioned, has paid for 4 disaster kits, 1 community drinking water tap, 4 midwifery kits, 24 ducks, 3 pigs and a herd of goats, all for 3rd world communities. It cost me about £200. Do your bit too...check out presentaid.org

Wow. And here I was assuming some rich old collector would buy it and hide it away somewhere. What a turn of luck that someone like Amazon would buy it instead! I have a feeling they're probably not allowed to just post pictures of each story for us to read, which is why they would have to paraphrase or "review" as they did. I wonder if they had to sign anything...? Also an incredibly well-played PR move on Amazon's part.

That was an AMAZING thing that Amazon did, to buy the book and let people all over the world see it and have the ability to look at this exclusive piece of Jo's works. I'm going to go over to the review - I'm so excited! THANK YOU!
