Description

"You are the first Harry Potter fan in history who has gone to court to come to one of my events"

Desirable TLS signed “With love from, J. K. Rowling (Jo to you) X",” one page, 8.25 x 11.75, personal embossed 'owl' letterhead, January 24, 2008. Letter to James Traver, in part: "This letter is very long overdue, but I heard your amazing story while I was having lunch with my American publishers last October, and I asked them to send me your address. You are the first Harry Potter fan in history who has gone to court to come to one of my events, and as such, you have a very special place in my heart! I know that you have been in a number of foster homes, and I hope very much that you are happy where you are at the moment, and that life is treating you as well as you deserve (ie, very well indeed)." Rowling adds the salutation and date in her own hand. In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. One of 10 winners in a 2007 national 'Why I Love Reading Harry Potter' essay contest, 13-year-old James Traver won $750, a copy of the new Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and trips (along with his foster dad) to New York and London.
