HP snippets

Two HP snippets I can across on the news yesterday...

A "rare" first edition of PS, signed by JK, was auctioned for...get 
this...£13,000!!!  EEK!!  I mean, I really like the books and all, 
but if I had that kind of money lying around, I think I would spend 
it elsewhere...but some of the money is going to charity, which is 
good to hear.

Also there was a story about how the HP books are being used in 
London's Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital in therapy sessions 
with children with mental instabilities.  The therapist interviewed 
said that there were so many great metaphors for them to utilize in 
the councelling sessions, though the story was cut short (in my 
opinion) and no clear examples were given.  It's good to see such a 
positive story about the books after coming across so much negative 
nonsense.

Just thought I'd share! Off to Rainbows now...15 wee tiny Girl Guides 
tearing around...what am I like!?
