  It is not just a normal postcard, but a rare"Harry Potter" prequel① handwritten that has been stolen.
  In 2008, Rowling wrote an 800-word manuscript②, on two sides of an A5 postcard, for a charity auction, which has been stolen during a burglary③ in central England.
  The distressed author took to Twitter and requested Harry Potter fans, "PLEASE DON’T BUY THIS IF YOU’RE OFFERED IT. Originally auctioned for @englishpen, the owner supported writers’ freedoms by bidding for it."
  The 800-word storywas sold for 25,000 British Pound and the proceeds of the auction were donated to④ an organization English PEN, which champions freedom of expression.
  The untitled prequel features the characters Sirius Black and Harry’s father James.


  被偷走的不只是一張普通的明信片,而是《哈利·波特》前传的珍贵手稿。
  2008年,罗琳在一张A5大小的明信片的正反面写下了一篇800字的手稿。后来这张手稿被拿来用于慈善拍卖,然而在英格兰中部发生的一起盗窃事件中,这张手稿被偷走了。
  这位苦恼的作家通过推特发帖请求《哈利·波特》的粉丝,“如果有人向你出售这张手稿,请不要购买。该手稿原本是为了英国作家协会而拿出来拍卖的,所有者竞拍了这张手稿,支持了作家的自由。”
  这篇800字的故事以25000英镑的价格出售,拍卖收益捐给了英国作家协会,而该组织是言论自由的捍卫者。
  这篇未命名的前传的主人公是小天狼星布莱克和哈利的父亲詹姆斯。
