Author J.K. Rowling donated a signed copy of the deluxe U.S. edition of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to the Little Auction that Could, the proceeds from which will benefit a shelter for abused and neglected children set up by the organisation's head, Karla Preissman.

We have received photos of the autographed book, which can be seen below.





Several of the books, including Jo's, will be auctioned through eBay from November 9-18 via bidders winning 'phone tickets' to bid during the Laughing Out Loud For Literacy show at the Elliott Museum in Stuart, Florida on November 20. One phone bidder for each of the top 12 books will be invited to participate in the live auction.
