Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

First UK Edition, First Printing, Hardcover, Bloomsbury 2005, Signed by J.K. Rowling

This signature is found in a first UK edition, first printing copy of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Because Rowling only conducted one signing event for this book for a limited and select number of people it has become extremely hard for collectors to acquire an authentically signed copy. During the mid-2000s J.K. Rowling conducted very few signing events for the fifth and sixth books in the series and therefore copies can only be found signed that were either sent out by Rowling’s office, usually for charity events or signed at the midnight release event for the sixth book.

This is a near fine copy in unread condition. It has sharp corners and an extremely tight and square binding, but contains some minor bumping and a crease to the spine base. The book has white and crisp page edges and there is no colour fading at all to the book or dust jacket. The dust jacket itself is in stunning condition without flaws. Internally the book is perfect, clean without any ownership inscriptions, no marks or dog eared pages, a beautiful copy housed in a blue quarter leather clamshell box with gold gilt lettering to the spine.

The signature comes fully authenticated by Adam Houston ‘The Harry Potter Specialist’ the world’s leading expert in authenticating Jo’s signature. It comes with a full authentication package including a letter of authenticity and collector card.
