About Comic Relief: A note from J. K. Rowling

Comic Relief is one of Britain’s most famous and successful charities.

Begun in 1985, the organization has raised more than $250,000,000 for

such charities as the Red Cross, Oxfam, Sight Savers, the International

HIV/AIDS Alliance, and Anti-Slavery International. The Harry Potter books

represent a new opportunity in Comic Relief’s quest to make a meaningful

difference in people’s lives. A special Harry’s Books fund has been created

where twenty percent of the retail sales price less taxes from the sale of

Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them

will go to support children’s causes throughout the world. Every book sold

counts! Fifty cents will send a child to school for a week – and change his

or her life forever.

Log on to www.comicrelief.com/harrysbooks and see how the money

from the purchase of these books is being used to help others. The Harry’s

Books fund will support such efforts as the education of children, the fight

against child slavery, and the reuniting of parents and children separated

by war. The fund will also educate people about the AIDS/HIV epidemic

and will support child victims of landmine explosions.

What is so wonderful about Comic Relief is that its costs are

sponsored, therefore it does not take money for its own administration from

the money given by the public. This means that in fact, because of

accumulated interest, more than 100% of the money it raises it passes on

to charity projects.

I have always had a sneaking desire to write Fantastic Beasts &

Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages, so when Richard

Curtis of Comic Relief wrote to me, I thought it was a wonderful opportunity

to help a charity I have always supported. Everyone involved with bringing

these books to fruition, the publishers, vendors, and retailers, has enabled

the contribution of a proportion of the cover price of these books to Comic

Relief’s Harry’s Books fund.

Thank you for buying this book!
