First edition, first printing, inscribed ("To Frances") and signed by J.K. Rowling on the title page, complete with the author's hologram. This book was signed during “The Moonlight Signing” event at the Natural History Museum on July 21, 2007—the only UK promotional event for the release of the final installment of the Harry Potter series. At this exclusive event, 1,700 Harry Potter fans had the opportunity to have their books signed. The numbered entry ticket that Frances received is included.
The book is a near fine condition, with a bumped lower spine end, a sharp upper spine end and sharp corners. The binding is firm, and the endpapers are clean. Very minor finger soiling to the middle of the fore-edge of the halftitle- and title page. The pages are free from additional names or inscriptions. The dust jacket is also in an almost fine condition, without fading and hardly any wear.
Fully authenticated by J.K. Rowling signature expert Adam Houston of The Harry Potter Specialist and includes a Letter of Authenticity (LoA), along with a collector’s card containing further interesting details.
