| | Original "Philosopher’s Stone" brings £7,200
In a follow up to our earlier report, a university student recently auctioned off his first edition hardback of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, raking in £7,200 ($14,346 U.S.). The book, one of only 500 originally printed, was purchased in 1997 for £10.99. According to the auction house: Quote:
Most of these first editions went into libraries. The amount that went into book shops is probably less than 100.

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. |
