Extremely rare signed first edition, first printing of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The book was signed by J.K. Rowling on the half-title page in the year of publication for a charity auction, where it was won by the previous owner, Rita, who preserved it for over two decades. In early 2025, the book was sold to Adam Houston, The Harry Potter Specialist.
Signed copies of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix are exceptionally scarce, as Rowling did not attend any public signing events around publication due to having recently given birth.
The book is in very good condition, with sharp spine ends and corners. There is sun fading to the top edge of the front and rear board, and to the top of the spine. Internally, it is bright and clean, with no ownership inscriptions. The page edges are mildly tanned, as is typically seen. A few very light signs of use are visible along the fore-edge. A fine condition dust jacket has been married to the book. The original, sun-faded jacket—which protected the boards from further fading—is included.
Comes with a Letter of Authenticity (LoA) from Adam Houston of The Harry Potter Specialist, the world’s sole expert on J.K. Rowling’s signature. Also included is an informative collector’s card with additional details. For preservation and display, this highly collectible book is housed in a beautiful custom-made half-leather clamshell box.
A truly exceptional opportunity to acquire one of the rarest signed Harry Potter books.
