Rowling also attended. On arrival, the dedicatee was given a copy of the new book, and as he also had his copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (his class reading book) with him, J.K. Rowling signed both books at the end of the event. Included is a Letter of Authenticity (LoA) from Adam Houston of The Harry Potter Specialist, the world's sole expert on J.K. Rowling's signature, as well as an interesting collector's card. Kept in custom-made slipcases.
