J.K. Rowling has handwritten an 800-word story about James Potter and Sirius Black that takes place three years before Harry Potter was born. The story card was recently auctioned off for charity. Unfortunately, the story is not from a prequel that Rowling is working on. :o(
You can click here to read Rowling's account of writing the story and (hurray!) here to read the story. I've read the story. I don't think it's anything spectacular. But it was great reading something new from the Harry Potter stories. It was wonderful returning to the world of Harry Potter. I want more!

It was fun reading Sirius and James' story. My only complaint is that it's "bitin" (too short and leaves you begging for more). Now, if I could only get my hands on Rowling's Tales of Beedle the Bard....
