    In 2002 a piece of card sold for over £28,000 at auction. What was written on it?

    Question #57044. Asked by gmackematix. (May 03 05 7:06 PM)

    		Could this have been the card recording J.K. Rowling's hints about the fifth "Harry Potter" book?

    		Yay! Sometimes you are just too good at this!
    That's a lot of money for 93 words isn't it?

    		Far too much. Considering the book.

    		Yep, it was a 93 word handwritten hint as to the plot of the 5th harry potter book (order of the phoenix). Besides being only 93 words the newspaper gave away either 5 or 7 of the words (I don't remember and can't find the other article). All the money went to charity, so it was a good thing, though.
