Alls I know, if you meet Ms. Rowling and she whispers into your ear, "put this lotion on your skin or else you get the hose again!" -- you run. You run like hell.

GC, you can keep the Buffalo Bill edition for yourself.

Ugh, there's a reason Rowling didn't do the illustrations for the Potter books.

Proceeds are going to charity.

Of the one copy of this hand-written edition that is being auctioned, yes. But is there any doubt that this will be published as a commercial book in some form or another?

Is that really her signature? It looks like Greek

pi omega omicron omega stigma

Which, of course, would spell "poos." Which is my opinion of the movies so I take it as a hidden message she agrees with me.

Which is a great excuse to do something to get your name in the papers some more.

Sorry, I've been annoyed at her since book 5...

Would you prefer for her to keep the money?

She's going to write what she is going to write so why not write for a good cause. Some day her fame will be over. She'll be a blip on the pop-culture radar. Our kids will be hearing about the Harry Potter craze on VH1 I love the '00s.

How quickly do the faithful turn.

What's a limeted edition?
