I posted about the teaser yesterday on both The Leaky Cauldron (where I
am an editor - http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org) and on HPfGU's
Announcements list (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-announcements)
so you can find the full text there.

Basically, JKR has created an index card with 93 words about and from
OoTP on it - and Sotheby's is auctioning it off for charity later this
month. 

A group of us at The Leaky Cauldron are interested in putting together a
bid for it - it's expected to go for about 6000 pounds, so we expect to
post later today with info about how people can donate, and I'll be
posting to Announcements then too. 

And over on our HPfGU-OTChatter list, people are coming up with slightly
outlandish guesses as to what the 13 words released so far mean - and
FictionAlley (http://www.fictionalley.org/fictionalleypark) is likely
going to be having a fanfic and fanart challenge featuring the words
this holiday season, so stay tuned for that as well.
