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!

Oh, she is so wonderful! Giving to charities and benefits... and giving to us as well. I'd say there are some great clues in that family tree. :)

It says that the artists got to choose what they donated...I wonder if Rowling's pick of the Black family tree could be some awesome foreshadowing for book 7 and of course the mysterious R.A.B...

Gosh I would love if that were sold to the public and the money still donated to charity. I love the Black family and I'd love to see it. But no way I could win an auction for it.

This is cool, I hope it is sold at a high price considering that it's for a good cause. I know I would love to own it but I probably couldn't afford it.

Sigh, if only I were a millionare and could win the auction for that. I could dedicate a whole wall to it... I could charge for people to come and admire its awesomness... I could perform sacrifices to the great Harry Potter gods before it. I think I'm going a little to far here. Still, it would be so AMAZING to own that. *Turns green with jealousy*

I think that is really cool of her to do that!!! She is so nice!!! I wish that every one could win so that all of us HP fans could get it and things like that, oh, but we can't some other lucky person is going to get it but anyhoo. But then agian life sucks and there is nothing that any one can do about it. (life really doesn't suck for me though im just saying and i hope that it doesn't suck for all of you too!) but that is all that i have to say. But one more thing, the price is a little to high i think that well im not all that rich so yeah thats all that i have to say!!!!

enisnitch baggins, I'd bet all my galleons that Charles Potter was James father. For one they died in 1977, harry was born in 1980...it fits!

WOW the Black Family Tree! Must.. read..
I can recognise lots of names.. Flint, Bulstrode, Longbottom, Crouch, and Charles POTTER who is surely Harry's grandfather.

WOW... The Black Family Tree would be fantastic to own.
Congratulations Jo for supporting such a worthy cause.
After only a very small look at a very small part of it, I am very curious. Some of the names on it are very interesting.

Wow! she's already done so much to get people reading and now this. What a gal! She just loves giving out hints to wet our appetite doesn't she. I suppose you noticed the reference to a Charles Potter on there who had one son. *rubs chins* interesting!
