| | Second signed set of Potter books up for bid
Another 7-book set from the Harry Potter series, signed by J.K. Rowling, are currently on the auction block. The books, which are being stored in a bank vault, are the only known set in the U.S. and will be the only item in the auction that will have online bidding. Proceeds from the sale will go to the National Braille Press to create Braille books for children.
Bidding will remain open until Oct. 25. The current bid is at $1,600. A prior set of signed books at a recent Scottish auction pulled in more than $40,000.

__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
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. |
