Harry Potter illustrator Mary GrandPre has done 3 Harry Potter sketches inside Harry Potter books that JK Rowling has signed for a charity auction to benefit Mission Education. “The auction packages will consist of four signed Harry Potter books donated by Shelby Hill, 18, who acquired them when she won a contest to meet J.K. Rowling back in 2000.  Three of the books will also include a unique Harry Potter sketch by illustrator Mary GrandPré.” Each Harry Potter book package is currently planned to include:

• Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Collector’s Edition (First Edition) signed by J.K. Rowling and Mary GrandPré, with a unique sketch by GrandPré.
• Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (First Edition) signed by J.K. Rowling and Mary GrandPré, with a unique sketch by GrandPré.
• Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone signed by J.K. Rowling and Mary GrandPré, with a unique sketch by GrandPré.
• Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban signed by J.K. Rowling. This book is unique because not only is it signed by Rowling, but Rowling didn’t seem to know where Shelby got that version of the book from, so she scribbled a note asking her where she got it above her signature.
• Harry Potter wands
• Chocolate Frogs

The books will be auctioned off in June. To learn more about the charity, click here.

There is a new mini-set report now online that you may read here, I will also post it below:

We recently went on our first visit to the set of a “Harry Potter” movie. Or we should say movies since it involves “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Parts I and II.” We were excited to go to Leavesden Studios in London where David Yates was directing the last installments. There were 140 extras walking around in costumes; some of them waiting for their cue while others were taking their lunch breaks at the canteen. One of the highlights for us was sitting on Professor Dumbledore’s chair in his office and pretending to create our own magical potions. We were able to talk to some of the talented crew members and cast like Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) and Robbie Coltraine (Rubeus Hagrid).

Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) was not feeling well so he was not around for the interviews. Director David Yates stressed the importance of Daniel showing up to work soon. He said, “We could be in trouble if Daniel Radcliffe is out again. I hope he feels better soon.” David, who has done two “Harry Potter” movies already and is now doing the final two, revealed that he tries to relax by doing yoga during lunch time and is planning to take three months off after doing the much-awaited final installments.

Rupert peppered his replies with a lot of his characteristic “yeahs” and “ums.” He revealed that he plays Guitar Hero with Daniel and Emma Watson when they are not filming and he definitely looks forward to keeping in touch with them when they are done doing the “Harry Potter” movies. Tom was charming and eloquent and did not look the least like the “bad guy.” “No more blonde evil wizards for me after ‘Harry Potter,’” he said. “Probably I’ll be a vampire next,” he kiddingly said. Robbie, dressed in costume, amusedly shared, “You probably don’t know but Daniel loves The Killers and Lady Gaga.”
