JKR Donates Signed 'HBP' To Hospice - Updated

J.K. Rowling has donated a signed first edition of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to help raise funds for Peace Hospice in England. The book is to set to be auctioned on Ebay next week according to the spokesperson for Peace Hospice in the Watford Observer.

Quote:

She said: "Bids for a first edition Harry Potter currently on Ebay are up to $3,500 so we are hoping we will raise a lot of money for the hospice. JK Rowling contacted us through a third party to donate the book and she said she will be following the auction on Ebay."

Update: The bidding on this item is underway and can be viewed here. The winning bidder will receive not only the signed book, but a personalized letter from JKR!

J K Rowling donated this 1st Edition Signed copy of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince to The Peace Hospice specifically to raise funds to care for The terminally ill of South West Hertfordshire, an area close to her heart as she has family members there. J K Rowling has agreed to sign a letter of authenticity and personalise it to the winning bidder, so not only will you own the book but you will have a letter personally addressed to you! The Peace Hospice is especially grateful to J K Rowling for this donation and the funds it will raise as this year, for the first time ever the Hospice has a deficit of £250,000.00. A little birdie told us J K Rowling will be watching this auction closely to check how the book is doing so we take this opportunity to thank her for her support. Happy bidding and remember all the money raised will go straight to caring for people with life limiting illnesses.

Narrator: Can the universe handle two Ottery's?
O1: Three actually, my evil twins running around out there somewhere?
O2: Okay guys, how is this totally not off topic?
Narrator: *shrugs*
O1: I'm selling you on EBay...
O2: *flees*
O1: Mwahahahahahahahahahaha

I think that's sweet of her to do that...but I thought she didn't like Ebay...I don't, couldn't she go through a more reputable auction house? Oh, well. I hope they raise loads of cash...

*Ottery posts now with Ottery commentary*

In this scene I'd had too much sugar and as a result...it didn't make the cut of the DVD...

:lol: Ottery! I thought the same thing about Ebay! But I suppose that the evil place can do some good, I hope it raises a lot of money for hospice - a very worthy charity.
