Potter sketches up for sale
Original drawings for the cover of JK Rowling's latest book about Harry
Potter are to go on sale next month.
Preliminary sketches for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire will be sold
at the Watercolours and Drawings Fair in London.
The pencil drawing used as the basis for the cover - showing the hero on a
broomstick and battling a dragon - has a price tag of £7,000.
The illustration for the back of the record-breaking children's novel is
also being exhibited for sale at the fair, at the Park Lane Hotel in
Piccadilly.
Art dealer John Rae-Smith, who is handling the sale, said: "To our
knowledge this is the first time any artwork related to Harry Potter has
come to the market in this country.
"The phenomenal success of the Harry Potter books means there is bound to
be huge interest in these drawings."

Anyone got a few thousand going spare?

we throw the party to end all parties? (C'mon--you *know* we're the party
crowd!) And while we're at it--why not pour out some of these theories
we've been keeping in our wine closets like rare champagne?"
As I am a sort of H/H shipper can I slip on board for the party? I am
getting awfully lonely and want to have some fun! <g>
