I see from the photo the diary that sold was the one used for the special effects and not the one seen in the photo of Harry reading the diary in Gryffindor's common room. I would have liked to have bid on that one, but I couldn't afford the $1700.00 opening bid right now. Hopefully it didn't sell and will be available another time. It is the one prop from the Chamber of secrets I would really like to own.
