Posted by AGUADALUPITA Oct 23rd 2006

Wow that's a lot of money thank you apwbdumbledore.


Posted by harp Oct 23rd 2006

Posted by Mrs_Finnegan Oct 23rd 2006

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.


Posted by TheWordsUnspoken Oct 23rd 2006

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


Posted by TheWordsUnspoken Oct 23rd 2006

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...


Posted by Watari Oct 23rd 2006

That's amazing! Jo is so awesome~~ I'd Love to have that book..but I don't have that kind of mula..^.^


Posted by harry_p_7 Oct 23rd 2006

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!!!


Posted by harrys_wand Oct 23rd 2006

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)_


Posted by Lydia_13 Oct 23rd 2006

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!!!


Posted by Grey Oct 23rd 2006

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.


Posted by flipgirl Oct 23rd 2006

TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I would do ANYTHING to owm that except kill myself because then I wouldn't get to read it.


Posted by TheWordsUnspoken Oct 23rd 2006

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...


Posted by adityashah1989 Oct 23rd 2006

That cover is amazing, never seen that before, thats Sanpes potions book right?


Posted by Deana Oct 23rd 2006

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..


Posted by Pinkslips Oct 23rd 2006

HA! Like I have 980 dollars up in my wallet. Someone fetch me a bank!


Posted by Wassan Oct 23rd 2006

Posted by Moaning_Myrtle Oct 23rd 2006
