| | |  J.K. Rowling Donates Painted Egg for Charity
J.K. Rowling has donated a hand painted ceramic egg to be auctioned off, with proceeds going to benefit the Multiple Sclerosis Society Scotland, a charity for which she recently held a Masquerade Ball. Quote:
The Harry Potter author is among a host of celebrities, including Scots actor Ewan McGregor and painter Elizabeth Blackadder, who have painted their own designs on eggs for a charity auction.
Quote:
It is hoped the event will raise between £5000 and £10,000 for the society. At least 150 guests are expected to attend.
Quote:
Admission is £50 per person, including a champagne reception, three-course meal, whisky tasting and live entertainment from The Jam House band.

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. | |

I have a lot of respect for Rowling. It can't be easy being hounded by the press and us horrible fans all the time and yet she still manages to go and do really nice things like this showing us how thoroughly decent she is. Oh, and she writes flippin' good books to which is another reason to love. Lets hope the egg raises lots of money.

And here we can see once more that J.K.Rowling is a really awsome person.
She's great! She does so much for other people.
She must has a very warm heart. ^___^
