Wow! nearly $1,000 US! that's alot of money! Jo is nice to sign books for us....wish it were mine.
Heh ... I'm afraid I don't really have that kind of money.
Gosh... I'd love to have that (L).... JO PLEASE SIGN MORE BOOKS! :'(
ooo... i'd love to have that... top ten?
Can I have it????
I think its awesome how Jo signs books for charities, but I will never be able to afford one.
I bet it will go for thousands.
yeah me too...but that is a good thing because it is for a good cause...yay! Ü
I would love to have this book but this is a lot of money but it's for charity so let's hope it will raise a lot of money.........top 10???
haha, hpfiasco, i like your name! Fiasco...that's a great word. And I agree it's good that the money is going to a good cause.
Jo is so nice and caring! XD
Jo is sooo nice and caring! she is one of the nicest people in the world! You rock Jo!
How wonderfully generous of her!
ooohh, i would so want to own that, but i imagine that it won't come cheap!!
She's soooooooooooooooooooo nice! She always does the most wonderful things . I just want to meet her to tell her what a lovely woman she is.
cul!! top 20?
How much is 511 in US dollars? (511 in their money I don't even know what they are called)
It's about 980 US Dollars and the English currency is "Pound Sterling"
I think it'll go for at least £2,000
Wow that's a lot of money thank you apwbdumbledore.
IS it genuine? I'd think someone would be able to spell "under-privileged"?
Oh man, the lucky ducks who will get that.... .*growls* Why Why couldn't I ever get one?!
She's always doing such amazing things. I love Jo! She rockss :)
what is that in US dollars?
Eeeeee! I doubt that I would be the highest bidder.
erlack!....i wish i could have that book.=)
thats so cool jo is amazing! i would love to have that....if only i wasnt 13 and broke =(
I want it I want it I want it. *Sobs* Not enough mulah. Its for a great cause too!! I wish I could help..... I have $20!! That wouldnt help much though ._. Well, maybe it would.... Hmmmmm. My mom's last name is Sutton. o_o Weirdness
Woa!! That's a few bucks!! For those of you who are American like me the cost is $998.17!!!! I'll pay for the $0.17!! and the cost's proably going to be a ton more before this is over...
sweet! 4 how much? top 30??
Like i have that much money!!!! HAHA! but that is cool and its for a good cause!!!!
yeah i couldnt even buy that with one pay check...well congrats goes to whoever wins the bid! Ü
how great would it be to win that book...too bad I dont have that kind of money. So jelous of the person that wins it.
same here. i would never be able to pay for that. it would take me like a year to come up with that. i am currently unemployed... :D and i will probably stay like that for a cpl more months. but yes, i would love to have that but to me its not worth that kind of money
how much is...£544.00??? could somebosy plz tell me how to change £ into $ i would love that. ive been meaning to find out for ages, but ive just never gottne around to it. i love how all us americans have to keep asking how much that is...
That's amazing! Jo is so awesome~~ I'd Love to have that book..but I don't have that kind of mula..^.^
ooooo.. that is so cool. wish i could afford it though... my friend got a signed half-blooded prince copy to, though, jo herself signed it for her....( she brags about it all the time) but itz really nice of jo to give to charities! GO JO!!!!! *CLAPS HANDS* oh, and thewordsunspoken, that would be about........ $1,000 dollars. though with about 20 people bidding on it already its probally going to end up selling at $2,000!!!
i already have the book.. its prob. too expensive anyhow. don't scream that having the book means an autographed copy is wasted mony..as PoA said "he [harry] already had a good enough broom. why did he need another one"(moe or lewess exact)_
this is completely irrelivant to this topic.. but does anyone else notice that in almost EVERY pic of Dan he either looks like he has somthing shoved up his bum n is about to fall over, or he is in an un-naturally stiff/weird position??!!! lmao dont get me wrong i love him, but its just annoying. weird and funny.. like that one pic of OoTP with the DA.. lmao!!!
If I had a billion dollars that book would be mine!:) Although, it would be even better to have a book that Jo signed for you specifialy:) that would be very wonderful.
TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I would do ANYTHING to owm that except kill myself because then I wouldn't get to read it.
why would you have to read it? you've already read it havent you? but then that would be a problem because you wouldnt get to read the seventh book. so...
That cover is amazing, never seen that before, thats Sanpes potions book right?
I spent all my money on tickets to An Evening with Harry, Carrie and Garp, and the train ticket to NYC! It would be fab to have a signed book though... Some lucky people in England can just plan ahead and make a trip to one of her free signings. THAT I am truly jealous of..
HA! Like I have 980 dollars up in my wallet. Someone fetch me a bank!
YOU GUYS!!!!! BY THE WAY, MUGGLENET IS 90% IN THE CBBC POLL *happy dance* GOOD JOB MUGGLENETERS :)
i'd love to have that book.. i think the cover is awesome, but alas i cannot afford it!!
why is she such a good person? why does she get to have harry potter AND be pretty AND be smart AND be a good person?!?! SHE'S SO LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good for you Jo! = ) Id love to have that book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! But no, i can't afford it and i'd like it to go to someone who hasn't read each book 100 times atleast (literally).
Deana: free sighnigngs in britain!??! lets make a protest on mugglenet " jo, please tour the east coast of the u.s with free sighnigig in major cities". its the british supremcy militia at work again! AVADA KEDRAVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !:)
