J. K. Rowling | First Editions
J.K. Rowling is obviously best known as the author of the Harry Potter stories. Rising meteorically from relative poverty and difficulty in Edinburgh to creative super-stardom in an incredibly short space of time it is not too much of a stretch to say that Ms. Rowling has changed the face of publishing, book-selling and indeed reading for millions of people. Nobody is free from the appeal of Harry Potter; from the children the books were originally aimed at to the multitudes of adults craving a little bit more magic that can be seen totally absorbed on the tube in the morning or queuing outside cinemas for the next film installment.
Rigidly maintaining control over how her characters and stories were represented has created a strange and previously almost unheard of situation where the films and the books travel hand in hand with very little deviation. Most people's idea of Harry the boy wizard is an image not terribly distant from Daniel Radcliffe, their Hermione not too different from Emma Watson. This, amongst other things, the most important of which being sheer readability has resulted in a massive degree of collectability.
Over many years Adrian Harrington Ltd have built an unequalled relationship with all the illustrators of the Harry Potter jackets and are the primary source for autographs and artwork. We are proud to be cited on the author's own website as a respected authority on J.K. Rowling signatures, so buy with absolute confidence and reassurance from the world experts in literary Hogwartiana.
