Secret copy of fifth Harry Potter book found in field
Two first editions of JK Rowling's The Order of the Phoenix -- not due out until June 21 -- were discovered by a reader in Suffolk.
The magical fifth instalment of the smash-hit series about schoolboy wizard Harry has been dubbed literature's most closely-guarded secret ever.
Only a handful of people have had access to the manuscript.
Yet the 40-year-old dad-of-two stumbled across the copies yesterday morning while walking on common land in the market town of Bungay. He immediately called The Sun and we sent our man Mike Darvill to collect the books from him.
