  Potter mini-book sold for £11,000
Updated 03 November 2004, 10.25
The tiny Potter book
A tiny Harry Potter book written by JK Rowling has been sold at an auction for a massive £11,000.

The leather bound booklet, which is just 2.5 cm tall, is a guide to everything Harry needs for his life at Hogwarts School.

Twenty-four celebs were given mini blank books to write what they like in, which were then sold for charity.

The top bid was £17,000 for a book by Muhammad Ali. David Beckham's stick drawing effort raised just £3,000.

The auction was organised by the magazine Tatler and raised a total of £125,000 for the London based homeless charity the 999 Club.
