Rare Harry Potter pages displayed

Original handwritten manuscripts by Harry Potter author JK Rowling are going on display as part of a book festival in the south of Scotland

The two framed pages, containing The Ballad of Nearly Headless Nick, will be on display at the Wigtown festival. The story was originally written as part of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets but edited out before publication.

The Wigtown Book Festival runs from 24 September to 3 October.

The manuscripts will be displayed at ReadingLasses bookshop. They were donated by Rowling to the Scottish Language Dictionaries in 2005 to help fund a new Scottish language dictionary.
