The text includes:

“Students may also bring an Owl OR a Cat OR a Toad”

“Parents are reminded that first-years are not allowed their own broomsticks”

Also features Rowling’s sketches of a wand, cauldron and a witch’s hat.

The green bound book was written in 2004 and measures 1.6 inches by 2.4 inches.

It was specially done by Rowling for a charity auction in 2004, where it sold for £10,000.
