| | Signed Deathly Hallows to aid Swindon Multiple Sclerosis centre The Swindon Advertiser reports that a signed copy of Deathly Hallows is to go under the hammer to aid a local, new, Multiple Sclerosis centre. Quote:
Jackie Wray, the manager of the centre, said: "Not only is it our 25th anniversary year but it is also the year we want to raise sufficient funds to move to new premises. We are located in a small industrial unit which is cramped, difficult to access and impractical.
"We are looking to generate funds to support the move to new premises."
The auction will be held on April 25th at the Hilton Hotel in West Swindon, England. Tickets for the event, including a meal and musical entertainment, are now on sale. |

I'm so glad JK uses her influence to help others. Not many celebrities do that.
EDIT: 1st!

__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: unsorted | Deathly Hallows Auction Swindon
In response to Remus Black enguiry regarding tickets for auction according to free local rag tickets are £14.00 and are available from Swindon Therapy Centre. Hope the info's useful to you. Let's hope the book is successful in raising funds. It sure is for a good cause but then the MS charity is Jo's favourite, well done Jo.
