Sorry, there isn’t another Harry Potter book coming out. Just like with The Tales of Beedle the Bard, this Harry Potter Prequel is going to be auctioned off for charity and as of yet, not available to the general public.

Author J.K. Rowling has penned an 800-word outline of a prequel to the seven book series that has made her into a billionaire which will be sold at the auction on June 10 by bookseller Waterstones.

The outline, which ends with the line “From the prequel I am not working on — but that was fun!” is one of 13 story outlines written for the auction by famed authors including new Bond writer Sebastian Faulks and Nobel laureate Doris Lessing.

So what’s the deal Rowling? We are going to have to find someone that stole it and published it online before they get sued? Find someone who has it stored in their bodystockings with a curse fit to fool Umbridge? What a tease.
