The HP artwork is handsigned and the FAQ is preprinted. There are a handful of us who have gotten this and it makes me so happy to see others get their success...I'm sure you are super psyched! Congrats!

It is indeed real, not a PP. I talked to someone else who got this picture/signature from her, and they said they could see slight indents on the back from where the pen pushed down on it. So anyone lucky enough to get this pic as a return, are owners of an authentic JK Rowling signature

WOW! That's such an amazing success!
Congrats!
I'd be proud of myself if I were you. ;)

All these questions - it's too much to answer individually so I'll post it all here
The autograph is authentic, and it came with a sticker on the back to show it was. The other stuff was preprinted.

The FAQs were:
Which character is your favourite?
Harry, although I believe I am unusual in this,Ron is generally more popular (I love him too, though). Now that I have finished writing the books, the character I would most like to meet for dinner is Dumbledore. We would have a lot to discuss, and I would love his advice; I think that everyone would like a Dumbledore in their lives.

Where do you get your ideas?
I wish I knew where ideas came from, because I would go and live there. It is a mystery to me where it all comes from, but I'm quite pleased I don't know; it might spoil the fun if I did.

Where do you get the names?
I collect unusual names; I have got them from maps (Snape and Dursley), saints (Hedwig) and war memorials (Lockhart). Some of the names in the book mean something - Dumbledore is an old English word for 'bumble bee', and I gave it to Dumbledore because I imagine him humming to himself a lot. I also invent names; Malfoy, Flitwick and Quidditch are all made up.

Will there ever be another Harry Potter novel?
I have always refused to say 'never' to this question, because I think it would be foolish to rule out something I might want to do in a few years time. however, I have no immediate plans to write another novel, and I do think that I have rounded off Harry's story int he seven published books.

What about the Encyclopaedia?
For a long time I have been promising an Encyclopaedia of Harry's world, and I have started work on this now. It is likely to be a time-consuming job, but when finished I shall donate all royalties to charity.

What are you writing now?
I am working on another children's book, though I am enjoying not having a deadline and am keen to take my time!

What advice would you give to young writers?
When writing I think a good starting point is what you know - for instance, your own feelings, or subjects you know a lot about. The most important thing is to READ as much as you can. This will teach you to recognise good writing, and by analysing what you like best, you can find out how to improve your own writing.

What was your favourite childhood book?
The Little White Horse, by Elizabeth Goudge. The tone is perfect; a seamless mix of the fairy-tale and the real. It also has a plain heroine, which delighted me beyond words as a child, because I was a very plain little girl and I hadn't met many heroines who weren't breathtakingly pretty.

Good luck to all of you! I know how disheartening it is when you get That Rejection Letter!! Especially when you put loads of work into it, but just keep trying! I was worried that my letter wouldn't stand out because I'm like so many other fans. I guess what made mine stand out what the presentation. I worked really hard on it and it paid off!
