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!

That's really great. I'm all about getting more people into reading, which is why the Harry Potter books are so amazing; they have gotten people interested in reading and I think reading is one of the most important and fulfilling esperiences in life. Then again, I am an English major. But, that Black Family Tree looks really interesting. I'd like to see the whole thing and try to figure stuff out about who's who and who married who and all that. I wonder how much it'll go for...

Woah... one of the things I love about Jo is that she introduces all of us to other aspects of the wizarding world and family, even when they aren't in the books.
