Would you spend £35,000 on this??

And in the description does he mean to write Balthazar Slytherin or does he actually mean Salazar? And Gryffindor doesn't have an e on the end.

"This work by furniture maker / wood carver Cassian Garbett was originally intended for the Harry Potter creator, J K Rowling. "

Did she reject it then? Don't blame her frankly.....:cool:

Frankly, it is a very nice item but I don't think it merits that price tag - as someone else said, if it had been in the film then maybe for a collector with cash to burn then it would be the perfect item. As for the book, I think I'd rather read my Harry Potter books that cost 20-50p at a car boot sale, you can't enjoy a book more because it is signed or first edition.

Let us know what he says lol

I sent a message saying "Hi there, this is a lovely piece of furniture, but I'm a bit concerned as it appears part of the motto is wrong? The actual motto is: Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus. Titillandus has 2 Ls? However there appears to only be one on this item? Is it just a bad pic, or is there only 1 L? Thanks." I was trying not to sound cheeky.... lol
I sent it at about 20 to 10 last night..... No reply yet. :rotfl:

I hope he does reply, I wonder what he will say

Ha ha I don't think he will reply, I know I wouldn't if somebody pointed out such an obvious mistake on an expensive item!

Judging by all the schoolboy errors, I'd hazard a guess that he's not a fan

*Scottish*Lass*

I'm not holding my breath for a reply! Imagine finishing it, standing back to look at it & realising you'd missed out a letter! :eek:

So did you get a reply? :j

Maybe that's why it was only intended for JK Rowling and never actually belonged to her, because she picked up on that mistake with the spelling too?

I think if you're trying to sell something to hardcore harry potter fans/collectors, you need to get the little details right and this seller doesn't. Plus who in their right mind would buy this when the seller has no feedback at all??

Hiya, I noticed this a few days ago and emailed the guy to ask him to add a close up pic of the crest, to show the intricacy you understand . I've not had a reply yet and it's been about 4 or 5 days so I doubt that he'll do so now.
I too reckon Jo didn't want it cos it had spelling errors!
