Untitled story set before wizard’s birth and handwritten by JK Rowling stolen from property in BirminghamAn untitled Harry Potter prequel handwritten on a postcard by JK Rowling has been stolen in a burglary in Birmingham. The postcard was stolen with some jewellery from a property in Howard Road, Kings Heath, during a break-in between 13 and 24 April. West Midlands police have issued a plea for information in the hope that “the appeal goes far and wide among Harry Potter fans throughout the world”. PC Paul Jauncey said: “The only people who will buy this unique piece are true Harry Potter fans. Reportedly set three years before Harry Potter’s birth, the prequel features the schoolboy wizard’s father, James Potter, and godfather Sirius Black when they were teenagers.
