Good that the money is being used for some genuine cause. Harry Potter has become such a money-spinning brand name that it can be easily used for generating profits to be used for such causes.

I can not believe it! I would love to have that-of course who wouldn't! It sold for an amazing price-hopefully it will happen again, this time maybe for more. Too bad you have to be rich to buy them...

That's awesome that one set sold for that much. Hopefully they'll be able to get just as much for this next one too. It's great that they made the books in braille.
