Here's This scrawly text is from a Harry Potter prequel written by J.K. Rowling and headed for a charity auction, Waterstone's Booksellers announced this morning. The story, written in the past month and just 800 words long, comes almost a year after the last book in the series was released. The prequel will not be published but is to be auctioned at Waterstone's London flagship store on June 10.
Proceeds will go to English PEN, the writers' association, and Dyslexia Action. The papers, each slightly bigger than a postcard — were distributed to 13 authors and illustrators, including Doris Lessing, Margaret Atwood and Tom Stoppard.
