Win signed copies of all seven Harry Potter books

This prize draw has now closed. Thank you so much to everyone who took part. You raised an incredible £132,025 for those affected by pancreatic cancer.

14th January - 5th March 2026

We are delighted to say that the books are now safely with their new owner, Emma. Who had never won anything before!

Emma and her husband lost both a close family member and a very good friend to pancreatic cancer. Helping us to invest in more life-saving research is a cause very close to their hearts.

We are so grateful to everyone who took part in this special prize draw inspired by the memory of Alan Rickman. Together, you raised an incredible £132,025 to help us write a better next chapter for everyone affected by pancreatic cancer. Thank you!

You could be in with a chance of winning a full set of Harry Potter books, each signed by a dozen actors from the iconic film series. It’s a unique prize that celebrates a story loved by millions – and it could be yours!

This special prize draw is inspired by the legacy of Alan Rickman, whose legendary portrayal of Professor Snape captivated audiences worldwide before his tragic death from pancreatic cancer in January 2016. Ten years on since he died, we’re honouring his memory by raising vital funds to transform the future for people affected by this devastating disease.

The signed collection brings together an extraordinary group of actors from across the Harry Potter films, including:

Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley)

Ralph Fiennes (Lord Voldemort)

Emma Thompson (Professor Trelawney)

Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange)

Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom)

Imelda Staunton (Dolores Umbridge)

Jim Broadbent (Professor Slughorn)

Kenneth Branagh (Gilderoy Lockhart)

Miranda Richardson (Rita Skeeter)

Fiona Shaw (Petunia Dursley)

Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy)
Miriam Margolyes (Professor Sprout)

Rima Horton, Alan Rickman’s wife, is a Trustee of Pancreatic Cancer UK and has played a key role in organising the prize draw.

Rima said: “Alan was a wonderful actor, an incredibly kind man, and, through Harry Potter in particular, he was loved by millions of people all over the world. But he meant even more to me.

“The news he had pancreatic cancer was sudden, and a complete shock to us both. Ten years later other families are still receiving that devastating diagnosis, and today the disease is still the deadliest common cancer. It doesn’t have to be that way, and Alan wouldn’t want us to give up.

“With more funding, more research and more awareness, in future, many more people will have a chance to survive. That’s why I’m incredibly grateful to all of the cast who have signed the books, and to all those who I hope will enter the draw and try to win this truly special prize.”

How to enter

Fans do not need to put their name into the Goblet of Fire to be in with a chance of winning… anyone can enter, either by purchasing tickets or submitting an entry by post.

The money raised from ticket sales will help us fund more desperately needed research and continue to support everyone affected by the disease through our free, confidential Support Line staffed by specialist nurses.

The prize draw will open on Wednesday 14th January, closing on Sunday 1st March at 23:59 when one lucky person will win all seven signed hardbacked books.

A better next chapter for families affected by pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest common cancer. Half of people die within three months of diagnosis. With research underfunded and left behind, people are left with only hope to hold onto. They need more. So we do more.

We bring more breakthroughs through research, more change through campaigning, and more expert compassionate support through our specialist nurses. Every ticket purchased helps power this work and brings us closer to progress.
