Not  120% sure on this one as much more familiar with   H Potter  ones which was what I thought you had purchased  & can't find another genuine one on e bay from the Southbank signing to compare it to because this is where this one is supposed to have been signed altho it is the right  sort of pen that she   did use for the Southbank  event &  it is one of the better offerings on ebay

 Ignore the hologram thing as its a bit of a red herring as unsigned hologrammed ones were often given out at these pr events which is part of the reason why there are so many signed non authentic Rowling stuff  floating around

For peace of mind maybe use M Brandes service for a quick opinion. Its only about 10 dollars  from memory & he is a member of UACC  , etc , etc.  He is used to dealing with specialised interests which is what you need in this case in   rather than the PSA etc    regards

It is terrible that there are unsigned books with the hologram.  Anyone can forge these books thus creating more confusion in the marketplace.  We were told at the signing this would be the only way to tell an authentically signed book.  Now, that cushion is gone!

yep, -  the problem is though that they are not unsigned anymore which was not the PR's  original  intent !!!!.       That's why there are so many   recent Rowling ones up for sale all clearly authentic!!!!! focussing on the hologram and posting photos from the net of her signing which anyone can do  but not really with any convincing provenance & some are clearly fake . Some   are better than  others  but in the end you just get a head ache looking at so many of them   Even trying to find 2 from the same signing that looked authentic to compare  the formation of a specific 'stroke' was impossible  

Also lets remember that she didn't sign that many in 2012 at each book signing that she went to . Its now 2 years later  yet there are still loads floating around which also doesn't add up .

I actually watched a video of her signing at Southbank & an unauthentic autograph company had actually inserted their version of her signature .  I'm sure they will have many gullible people buying from them convinced that they are legit

  I think this hologram idea backfired somewhat!!!!  regards
