Hello!

This appears to be an auction for the two instruction books only, not the sets themselves

This is correct.

It may also be a means of defusing some obviously
misguided (or fake) bids from people who didn't bother reading
the auction text fully--someone bid almost $500 for the three
sets of instructions!

I guess: The seller got some pressure from LEGO and/or Warner Bros. not
to sell these instroction books before the official release of the
sets... He got cold feet (do you say this in English?)

Bye
Jojo

(...) Cold feet it is. How would someone get hold of these instructions ? I guess the cats have to be printed somewhere... pete.w (nice to get a sneak peek...could it be the ultimate company teaser ?) (23 years ago, 22-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.harrypotter)

(...) Larry P noticed this over on .trains, and I can verify it now that I've looked at it too. The auction has also been ended early with no winners, the seller striking all bids because his or her cats have "pitched into" the instructions tonight (...)
