Several actors from the Harry Potter films have donated pieces of clothing to a new charity auction, where proceeds will help the deafblind. Among those who have donated to the Sense charity auction currently open on eBay, are: Emma Thompson (Professor Trelawney), who donated this autographed “Aerosmith” bomber jacket, Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), who donated this jacket (which he sported at the Goblet of Fire premiere), and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), who contributed both a DKNY t-shirt and a special autograph. Other notable celebrities who have donated to this auction include Dame Judi Dench, Dame Helen Mirren, Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey, and Graham Norton. These auctions will run now until March 7.

Thanks much to our Order parter RupertGrint.net for the tip!

@Agustin: Lol. I read the autograph, but it did take some time. Maybe she can’t help but to write like that since she’s been signing autographs since she was like 10. Now everything she writes look like an autograph. but it’s still cool. i bet that little piece of paper is going to sale for a whole lot of money.

why is everyone making a big deal about Emma’s signature and how she spelled a word?

who cares? I personally find it strange that so many people do.

Cool. I would give nearly everything to have Ron’s jacket.

Emma’s writing is like that because she is so used to just scrawling her name. You should see other celebrities’s signature. Scary.

@Sheena: i totally agree. lol. some people just seem to want to find the smallest and most unimportant thing to nick, pick about. it’s annoying. i mean these people are doing something good they’re giving to charity and people are talking about someone’s handwriting. who cares.

I am just wondering if anyone knows what the final sale prices ended up being? I was watching them in my eBay account just for that, and they randomly disappeared when the auction ended. That’s never happened before. : ( Curious…..
