 | May 27th, 2007 at 04:55am I read Quidditch through the ages once, in 4th grade I think. I liked it, it told you about quidditch in the world, the history of quidditch... The book is tiny it has like 20 pages though. |

Nahhhh Yeahhh Not like in 2010, but 2060 or something like that.
Books by Oscar Wilde and Charles Dickens are still very common, and both those Authors were dead on or before 1900. And think about Shakespeare's work xD
Rowling has probably outsold all of those three by now, and what with all the increased publicity in the 21st century and all that, I'd be really shocked if Harry Potetr books were rare by the time I'm dead. |

Yeah HP wont be rare, but maybe first editions will be expensive or something like that. I mean, its like that with other famous books. |

Posts: 17669 | May 29th, 2007 at 07:38pm Yeah, if you think about how many of them are printed, then they won't ever be rare. The only book that's been translated into more languages than HP is the bible, so I doubt it'll be rare.
The first editions'll fetch a bit at auction though, especially in like, a hundred years when JK is regretably no more, but they won't be rare for a few hundred years.
And there's always going to be reprints, which won't be valuable, but it won't be as though not many people will have been able to read it.
I dunno, I'm rambling. It's late and I'm not sure what I'm thinking. You'll have to excuse me. |

Dunno how I didn't set fire to myself tbh. |
