This first UK edition, later printing of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, published in 2016 by Little, Brown in London, was signed in September 2016 by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne, and John Tiffany at an industry book release event they attended in New York City. This copy was personally signed for Carlsen Verlag, Germany’s largest publisher and the publisher of the Harry Potter series in Germany.
The book was given to Julia Reuter, project coordinator for the German translation Harry Potter und das Verwunschene Kind at Carlsen Verlag. Reuter, a key figure at Carlsen Verlag, has been instrumental in bringing the Harry Potter series to German-speaking audiences. She was involved in various digital and publishing innovations, including the development of eSoaps for young readers, and has contributed to numerous projects that further expand the reach of the Harry Potter universe in Germany.
Included with the book is a letter from Julia Reuter, in which she details how she acquired it and a copy of the German edition.
As a significant association copy, this book holds added provenance, directly linking it to Julia Reuter, a pivotal figure in the German publication of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Authenticated by J.K. Rowling signature expert Adam Houston of The Harry Potter Specialist. Comes with his Letter of Authenticity (LoA) and a collector’s card, containing further interesting details. A near pristine, unread copy in a fine dust jacket, housed in a custom-made half-leather clamshell box. A highly collectible book with great provenance.
