According to The Scotsman, JK Rowling has donated a signed Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to The Trefoil House to be raffled off.

David McArthur, Trefoil’s chief executive said: “We are absolutely delighted by this generous gift. This is a chance for someone to win it without having to pay lots of money as it’s not an auction and as it’s only taking place over two days the odds are good.”

The book will be raffled as part of the annual Christmas Bonanza, an event where people can come and buy presents they would not normally find in mainstream shops.

The Bonanza is being held at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange, New Market Road, on December 4 and 5, and the raffle winner will be drawn at the end of the second day.
