JK Rowling
, along with other renowned authors, has donated handwritten work to be auctioned off for the benefit of Book Aid International. The organization is responsibile for "putting books into the hands of the world's most disadvantaged readers."
The Harry Potter author has put up for auction a drawn layout of the Black Family Tree, which was first introduced to readers in (the fifth book) Order of the Phoenix, that reveals members of the wizarding community not previously mentioned in the series -- although with familiar surnames. The Daily Telegraph has recently released a portion of this drawing and scans of their article are available online, courtesy of TLC.
The items are to be auctioned on the 21st of February -- click here for more information. Thanks to Pearl for the tip!

As I said about her trip to Romania, she is as good-hreated as possible. By giving everyone a good thing to reead(a book) she learns childs to learn and grow on it and at the same time increases herself.Go, JK!!;)

Hmm have we seen this family tree before? (It's new to me.) I'll have to look more closely at the names on it.

That's a pretty cool donation, something different than she has generally done in the past as opposed to signed books. (Not that there's anything wrong with signed books, Faranth knows I want one desperately along with everyone else) but I do think it's really cool that she's doing something slightly different. It's too bad we can't see the whole thing. Maybe the buyer will be allowed to show it once it is bought...we can hope.
