| | |  Harry Potter gets locked up
A full set of autographed Harry Potter novels have been locked in a police station after a bank said that it didn't have the insurance to look after valuables. The set of novels, one of two in the whole world are said to be worth £20,000.
The books are now secure in a police station, with a letter of their authenticity. They will be going on eBay on September the 19th. Quote:
PC Neil McAdam, who took charge of the seven-book set at Huntly police station in Aberdeenshire, said: 'It came as a bit of a surprise but we like to help out.'
Let's hope that the books stay safe!

£20,000 isn't that 40.000 american? Wow  Seriously.
But there's no way I'd pay that much for autographed copies, I'd rather meet Jo in person and get her to sign just one book. Yup yup. Problem is I couldn't pick, no I'd have to get her to sign Ootp, cuz that's my favorite one ...
OMG! I feel bad for the people who bank there too  don't leave your valuables in there ...

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

They'll probably go for more than what you're seeing. Fans are pretty crazy like that. Though, I think if I were a famous author, I'd sign anything that was put down in front of me just to be fair, ya know?
