The QXL Web site ( http://www.qxl.com/cgi-bin/qxlhome.cgi/EN/QXL/PR/U1008986871/_20290685 ) is auctioning 12 tickets to the Nov. 6 preview screening of the first Harry Potter movie in Edinburgh, Scotland, to benefit charity. The auction, which ends Oct. 22, will benefit the MS Society of Scotland, a charity that supports people with multiple sclerosis.

Winning bids will receive tickets to the first United Kingdom screening of the highly anticipated adaptation of J.K.

Rowling herself is expected to attend the screening. Potter opens to the public on Nov. 16.
