| | |  J.K. Rowling & Robbie Coltrane contribute to celebrity hand display (UPDATED)
J.K. Rowling has made a contribution to a celebrity hand display in Newcastle, England, designed to help raise funds for Tilly Lockey, from County Durham, who needs prosthetic limbs after she lost her hands and toes to meningitis at 15 months old in 2007. As she grows, they will need replacing every year until she is 18.
The pictures and casts will go on display at Newcastle's Life centre for one day before being put up for auction at an event on September 5th. The exhibit is free of charge. Quote:
Sarah Lockey said: "We have all of these wonderful quirky and unique drawings and hand casts created by celebrities to help us raise funds for Tilly.
"These will be auctioned at a dinner in September but we wanted to share them with as many people as possible before they become part of someone's private collection."
UPDATE: Photos of the contributions, including one from Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid), may be seen here;
The hands will go on display next Saturday, prior to the auction.
Thanks to TLC for the info!  | |

Oh I remember reading about Tilly at the time! This is a great cause I hope they raise enough money, and it’s good of JK for taking part. | |

That's so sad, about Tilly, but it's so cool that Jo is helping out another charity. She's always doing this, she's too cool like that.
