An untitled prequel to the wildly popular Harry Potter books has been stolen in a robbery in the UK, authorities say.

據權威機構透露,廣爲流傳的小說《哈利波特》系列的一部無標題的前篇故事手稿於英國被盜。

Just 800 words long, the handwritten manuscript -- written on two sides of an A5 postcard by author J.K. Rowling -- was taken from a property in Kings Heath, Birmingham.

這部僅有八百詞的手寫原稿是該系列作者JK羅琳在一張A5明信片正反兩面寫的。它是從伯明翰Kings Heath的一處房產中被盜走的。

The short story was previously auctioned off for charity in 2008.

這部短篇小說之前在2008年慈善拍賣會上就已被拍賣。

'The only people who will buy this unique piece are true Harry Potter fans. We are appealing to anyone who sees, or is offered this item for sale, to contact police,' investigating officer Paul said in a statement.

調查員保羅在一則聲明中稱:“買這部獨一無二的手稿的人只可能是真正的《哈利波特》迷。因此我們呼籲任何看到這部被盜手稿,或者被推銷購買的人聯繫警察。”

The story is said to feature a young James Potter, the titular boy wizard's father, and his best friend Sirius Black, who come across two "muggle" (or non-magic) policemen following a high-speed chase, according to local media reports.

據當地媒體報道,這部前篇故事的主人公是詹姆斯·波特--哈利·波特的父親。他年輕時與他的好友小天狼星布萊克在一次高速追逐後,遇到了兩個“麻瓜 ”(沒有魔法的人類)警察。

Rowling had penned the story for a local dyslexia charity, which then sold it at a 2008 Sotherby's auction for 25,000 pounds (around $32,000).

羅琳是爲了當地的閱讀障礙慈善機構寫的這部故事,然後在2008年蘇富比拍賣會上以25000英鎊(約32000美元)的價格賣出。

Rowling urged her followers on Twitter to turn down any sales of the manuscript. On Friday morning, she tweeted: "Please Don't Buy This If You're Offered It."

羅琳在推特上呼籲她的粉絲們拒絕有關該手稿的任何銷售。在週五早晨,她發推特稱:“如果有人向你推銷這本書的話,一定不要買。”
