| | | Harry Potter first edition book set sells for £17,800
Earlier this week we announced that a first edition set of the seven Harry Potter books will be put on auction for charity. The auction took place today at Cameo Fine Art Auctioneers, during which the book set, which has been signed by J.K. Rowling without a dedication, sold at the "hammer price" of £17,800. |

Oooh. So much, yet it is a bit cheap for first edition books that are signed. Oh well. Got some profit out of it.

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,

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. |

hmm so looks like it got sold pretty much on estimate (which was 15k-20k pounds). it would still be so cool to have those though: first ed, signed and a box set. a trifecta for me |
