Signed 'Hallows' to Help Pay for Multiple Sclerosis Centre
|
According to an article in the Swindon Advertiser, an auction will be held at 7:30pm on Friday, April 25th at the Hilton Hotel in West Swindon to raise funds for a new Multiple Sclerosis. The auction will include a signed copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
"Not only is it our 25th anniversary year, but it is also the year we want to raise sufficient funds to move to new premises," said Jackie Wray, the centre's manager. "We are located in a small industrial unit which is cramped, difficult to access, and impractical."
The cost for the event is £14 per person. This includes a two-course meal, grand and silent auctions, and a band.
Multiple Sclerosis is a very serious disease that attacks the central nervous system of the body. You can find out more about this disease at the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's website. |

USA Today: Deathly Hallows Book of the Year
|
USA Today has nominated Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows as book of the year for 2007.
Hallows is the book of the year because Rowling gave her story an ending that was as graceful, unpredictable and satisfying as the series itself. She reaffirmed that magic can exist when someone opens a great book and enters a world created from words on paper. She made us believe that the imagination — like her own little wizard, now all grown up — still lives.
I think we all agree! |
