J.K. Rowling has been stepping up her charity efforts. Most recently, she announced a $16M donation to Edinburgh University to fund a clinic for multiple sclerosis and neurodegenerative disease – and a new eBook version of her massively successful “Tales of Beedle the Bard” Harry Potter companion book, which has raised more than $28M for her children’s charity, Lumos, since 2008. “All proceeds from the sale of the book go to Lumos, the charity I founded to help the 8 million children trapped in institutions around the world,” the author says. “Lumos works to transform systems of caring for children, closing institutions, reuniting families, and preventing other children from being institutionalized.”
