Again, we'll let you know when the Prequel appears online tomorrow. Thanks to Caleb for the tip!

Thats actually not as much as I thought it would go for, considering what Beedle the Bard pulled in...

I actually thought it would go for more then that. Still a good amount though...

i thought it would be auctioned for a lot more, for what its worth to me. I really, really wish we could read it.

Omg! Thats a lot of money knowing that the person could buy the story for less than twenty dollers when the book of the stories is released. Or they could read it online. Oh well, its a fabulous cause!

Not a lot of money? For 800 words, 48k is a crapload of money.
|

Are you guys going to read it when it comes online? Im sorta nervous. I have James and Sirius set in my mind already, I dont want J.K. Rowling to mess it up. =]
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-10 17:03:07
So we will be able to read it online for free ?
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-10 17:06:25
of course is not gonna be as much as beedle the bard, this is only 800 words and its gonna be everywhere online. Anyway Im so exited for tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!
|

Does this mean that they are going to be publishing it and the money goes to charity like it did with the Qudditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them???? I sure hope so!!!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-10 17:24:17
Whoo! Thats great! It all goes to a very worthy cause, so thats good...I cant wait to read it, though!

Ah, Im excited! And I think that $48,000 is ALOT considering its only 800 words.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-10 18:56:04
That sounds cool! And naturally it didnt get as much money as Beedle the Bard since its only 800 words, and its not a single copy in the world; luckily for us fans we can read it online. But thats still a lot of money! Why couldnt they do the same for Beedle the Bard too (for fans to read)? Anyway, I cant wait to read the prequel!

|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-10 20:27:16

|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-10 21:02:21
well well well! thats awesome. but i mean whats it mean by GHOST BIDDER?
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-10 21:32:48
Good a history for the source. I can wait to read it and I hope is as good as the series, because James and Siruis are the best Maruders in the History of the school.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-10 22:18:12
Holy Cow! Thats a lot of money for a good cause! As usual, GO JO!!!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-10 23:10:08
I am confused!!! How much is 25pounds in U.S. money???
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-11 08:09:20
50 thousand dollars for a page long police chase! No wonder she has more money then everyone that has ever visited this site put together!

MagicMaker222: The money from the auction of this 800 word prequel goes to charity; not Jos pocket. Jo usually does this sort of thing for charity anyway.
I am so glad that it got auctioned off for 25,000 pounds! Actually, I really expected it to go for alot more, but seeing that its only a page-long, 800 word piece of text, coupled with the fact that you can read it for free online, or buy it for like, 1/5000 the price outside, this auction was definitely something to be proud of.

First of all I am very very dissapointed of how you treat your fans by putting their letters that they spent time on into the Wall of Shame! I am taking Muggle Net off of my favorite list. If I could I would go to the President and ask him to take Muggle Net off the net! I am so so so dissapointed this site is a ripoff! People who run this site aparently dont like getting sincere letters from their veiwers, if you want more viewers I would take the Wall of Shame down or you will keep losing veiwers. You dont care anything about your viewers, do you? Everything on your home page is old news, everyone already heard it and came to Muggle Net to find out new things and all they find is old news. The Wall of Shame is very imitating to me it makes me want to PUKE! If I see this letter in the Wall of Shame I will NEVER EVER come back to Muggle Net again, wait a second I dont want to come back. Here lets tell a little story," I am so happy with muggle net NOT NOT smells like SNOT!" I am very dissapointed in you Muggle Net this used to be my favourite site but not anymore! You should put this on your home page I think your viewers would enjoy it!!!!! :)
