A magical and rare book is going up for sale!
A first edition of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” and signed by author J.K. Rowling, is going up for a private sale at Christie’s in London, with the auction house inviting offers starting from 250K!
There were only 500 copies printed of this edition and the book for sale is especially unique because of a few mistakes. On the back cover, for instance, philosophers, which of course is quite a key word… is misspelled ‘philosphers’, that second ‘o’ is missing. Also on page 53, in the list of items which pupils are asked to take to Hogwarts with them, ‘one wand’ is repeated twice.”
While Rowling was unknown at the time, the book about the magical world of witches and wizards went on to become a massive hit around the world, spawning a whole series and a huge film franchise.
