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!

Jo's so nice to everyone! I wish I could see the actual layout of the Black Family Tree. I still can't believe that Sirius was related to the Malfoys...

Interesting bit for donation. She must have spent quite some time on the chart. I'd love to see what it says although. The picture's not loading on my computer.

I've seen a few better pictures of it, and I WANT IT! I want to make a big tapestry and hang it in my reading room. Or do a big needlepoint and make a blanket. I'm getting carried away again!

You could only see a little peak in the paper that the Black family is labeled in and not really see it completely.

That is so sweet of her, doing things for donation!
I'm dying to know who is this Charles Potter, and his son... Is it just a coincidence like Mark Evans and Lily Evans?

Ya that is great that she donates her time to write the Harry Potter series, I mean Its the best thing to happen to the Liteature and i cant wait till she finishes the seventh book, the last book was a bit sad in the end tho.

Whoa! One of a kind item here! Whoever wins this auction will no doubt be giving a very large sum to this very worthy cause. Bless everyone who is digging deep with the information we can gather from what we can see of the family tree here! You allow me to stay lazy, yet informed!
