Daniel Ortiz, a very big fan of the Harry Potter series, is raising funds for The National Multiple Sclerosis Society and his local Sarasota Habitat for Humanity in a big way. He was given a signed deluxe edition of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, signed by J.K. Rowling (whose publicist donated the bookplate) and American illustrator Mary Grandpre, who was kind enough to draw a rare portrait of Harry in the inside title page. It will put on auction via eBay to raise money for the two causes.

Daniel was kind enough to send SnitchSeeker photos of the signed book, which can be seen below.

We will update with the eBay auction link as soon as it is available, so stay tuned for that.

Thanks very much to Daniel for emailing and alerting us about this great cause!

UPDATE: Daniel has informed us that the auction will begin on January 11th 2010.

Yeah, I got a deluxe when it came out. And I didn't know at the first moment, but it was signed on the little gold box thing!
I treasure that book to death!

Cos when I first got the boxed set, I ripped out the book to read. After I finished, I decided to admire the artwork and found the autograph. I almost died.

aww nice of him to do that but I dont think I could ever make my heart part with a signed book, especially one with Mary Grandpre's art work. I wish so bad that i had one though. Oh well.
