Potter's close call

Copies of the eagerly awaited Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by JK Rowling (pictured) were found dumped in a Suffolk field by a walker.

Two first editions of the next instalment in the hugely popular series were discovered in Bungay, half a kilometre from Clays Ltd, a firm that will print the new book, to be published on June 21.

Alerted to the find, the Sun sent a journalist to collect the editions, which are now in the newspaper's headquarters in Wapping, east London.

It did not spoil the plot by revealing any details. But it says the book is dedicated to Rowling's husband, Dr Neil Murray, and her two children.
