First edition, first printing, inscribed ("To Eleanor") 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.
In addition to the numbered entry ticket, all attendees received an event package that included a three-page information sheet, a puzzle page and Dealthly Hallows balloons. The previous owner preserved these items with the book. This set even includes the bookmark with Eleanor's specific queue number for the signing event and a few puzzle cards (issued by Warner Bros in 2001).
The book is a very fine condition, with only a slighly bumped lower spine end, a sharp upper spine end and sharp corners. The binding is firm, and the endpapers are clean. The pages are free from additional names or inscriptions, showing hardly of the usual browning of the page edges. The dust jacket is also in a fine condition, without fading and no shelf wear or edge wear. An excellent copy.
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.
