A SIGNIFICANT PIECE OF HARRY POTTER HISTORY: THE TANTALISING HANDWRITTEN CARD BY J.K. ROWLING PROVIDING AN OUTLINE OF SOME KEY EVENTS IN THE FIFTH HARRY POTTER NOVEL.

Half a year before publication of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Rowling wrote this 93 word teaser card. It was offered for sale (in a sealed envelope) at Sotheby’s in December 2002 (to benefit Book Aid International). With significant interest from numerous fans – including the ‘Leaky Cauldron’ website – it was eventually sold for £24,000. It has been in private ownership since the sale.

Now that Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is published, the card remains a unique and significant piece of Harry Potter history. This title was the first novel to be published after the release of the first film adaptation and expectation reached unprecedented levels.
