As was
previously revealed, J.K.Rowling donated a handwritten note, containing details about the Black family history, to a
Book Aid International [a charity which supports literacy in poor countries] auction. Details about this item have now been revealed.
The
Daily Telegraph today published a preview of the note. It contains a Black Family tree.
Scans from the newspaper [showing the Tree and a close-up image of it] can all be seen
here.
It includes mentions of a Flint, a Bulstrode, a Potter, a Longbottom and a Crouch.
Quote:
"There are several familiar names visible, including Callidora who married a Harfang Longbottom. Her sister Charis who married Caspar Crouch. Intriguingly there is a Dorea (1920-1977) who married Charles Potter and had one child, a son. The time frame seems to be consistent with them being James' parents. "
The tree and other auction items will be on display on February 20th at 24 Maddox Street London W1. Tickets to this event cost £10, with the proceeds going to charity. They will then be auctioned off the following day - the Black family tree page is expected to sell at a very high price.
