I hope they can raise a lot of money for the charity.

I didn´t know JKR´s sketch, but it is lovely. Especially her Hermione is so sweet with her ‘rather large front teeth’. Endearing. But why is she blonde? Is JKR a seer? ;)

I can’t believe she’s such a good artist, too!

I can’t believe this JKR is such a good artist i hope it raises tons of money

I do so hope that this does raise as much as possible for the “charity” . I am sure there will be many people wishing to “bid” for such a Unique item. Jo Has a great deal of thought for others, I am sure that we shall hear more news about the said book.

Ah I would kill for that!

I am so mad the publishers didn’t put Jo’s art with all the HP books! We have known all along it’s her vision of her characters,her illustrations of them are great.And she’s a great artist too! I will definetly buy the catalog. At least we can purchase that! :)

your right, her own original artwork would have been amazing, as you say Debbie it is her world. I’m gonna start playing the national lottery to try and buy the lot!

will anybody asist to the exposition? he/she could read a bit from the book and publish here later :)

I’d kill for that! And also the Tales of Beedle the Bard!! What I’d do to have that book! One of a kind, with semi precous stones, embelished with silver, signed, handwritten, ahhh!!

This is fantastic! Her Ron, Hermione, and McGonagall are exactly as I’ve always seen them in my head! (So are Harry and Dumbledore and Hagrid of course, but she decribes them so thoroughly, it’s hardly surprising)

Anyone else notice that Snape seems to have a 5 o’clock shadow covering his chin there?

Dobby scares me…

Is that what she was meaning when she talks about Bickbeck? Uh oh… I was wrong.

... apprantly I do not change......

Aww that’s sweet! I hope everyone from the UK dug deep for Pudsey!!..x

that’s a really lovely sketch. Debbie, I agree completely. I always thought it would’ve been nice if Jo herself had done the illustrations for the HP books; especially after looking at some of the ugly covers that depict Harry with a bloated face or the chapter art that makes him look like a ten year old when he’s 17. hehe that’s why Fantastic Beasts and Quidditch Throught the Ages was so enjoyable; I loved her illustrations and the “notes” by Harry and Ron.

I love those pictures… I agree w/ practically everyone… Jo should have done the illustration for the books… it would have just fit but w/e. I am SOOO asking for the catalogue for Christmas!!! That is so cool… ahhhh im just happy that we can buy it as fans. So ya… yay!! I hope “we” are able to raise a lot of money because i have always admired Jo for giving so much to charity.

I wouldn’t want these drawings in the book…no offense to anyone, but they are rather childish drawings compared to Mary Grandpre, who I think is a far better artist.

Pretty asuring that the characters as they are fixed on our mind by the Warner presentation, don’t differ that radical form the characters as Rowling had them in her mind.

Due to the Dutch release of DH, there was an interview with Rowling in the paper. She there said that she was very pleased with the movies, because they worked out figures more beautiful then in her mind.

Also the eyecolour discussion of Harry don’t bother her a lot. She says:” had either the choice of coloured contacts, very cumbersom for a little boy, change the eyecolor digital or leave it as it is ( blue) I am glad the choose the last”

My new dream, although I know it will never happen, is to own the tales of beedle the bard… my old one was to meet Jo and get my DH signed, but that already happened! :) I’ve been waiting for a new HP dream to strike!! If only was rich and had 50k to spend!!

I’ve always meant to comment on it, but Jo is really quite wonderful at drawing too.

Yeah, me too. I also LOVE the drawing JK made! Although, I’m glad Mary made them in the books … I think she’s better to tell the truth… What I’d do to get my hands on that book though, ;).
