| | |  First edition Philosopher's Stone to be auctioned off
Yet another family has decided to auction off their first edition copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, one of only 300. The book was bought off the shelf of a bookstore for no more than ten Rand, which is equivalent to $1.40 (US). The South African owner, Greer Salt had “seen the book on a book shop shelf and had jumped at the chance to introduce her daughters to the ancient concept of alchemy.” It is expected to be sold for approximately $20,000, and until recently, the owner had no idea the book was worth so much. This first edition copy of Harry Potter will be auctioned off on Auction Explorer for a week, starting October 11th.

__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

I would so buy that! If only I had a bunch of money to buy it with! If only Potter auctions were based off of the craziness of a fan. Then I'd get it. | |
