Accio 2008, the Harry Potter fan conference taking place this summer in Oxford, England, announced they will be auctioning signed editions of the seven Harry Potter novels for the benefit of the National Literacy Trust. The complete set of seven adult edition Harry Potter novels have been signed and donated by their author, J. K. Rowling, for this event. The first six novels will be auctioned separately during the conference, while the seventh will be presented to a lucky attendee who participates in a raffle. All proceeds from the auction will be benefit the National Literacy Trust.

The National Literacy Trust is an independent charitable organization which supports and promotes the advancement of reading and writing in the UK. More information about this charity can be found here.

On a related note, a limited number of spots are still available for Accio 2008. Those interested in registering can find more information here. Accio 2008 will take place July 25-28, 2008 at Magdalen College in Oxford, England.

That’s a great idea. Too bad she’s not publishing the Tales of Beelte the Bard though.

Imagine how warm one’s heart would be, to have a signed Harry Potter book… sigh

Oh, man, how I’d love to have one of those…but even if I got one of those auctioned ones, I’d still want to have one of my personal collection signed. It’s different when it’s someone else’s book. And besides, there’s something about SEEING it getting signed. ^_

I’m sorry to be so ignorant, but, what is the difference between the “adult” version of the books and what has been published so far?

Posted by Teresa on April 08, 2008, 07:28 PM report to moderator

The adult version has a different cover
