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.
