Everyone who knows me knows I love to read! The Harry Potter series is one of my favorites.
You too, right?
An old library book that cost less than two dollars just pulled some magic only Harry Potter could summon.
That’s because it IS a Harry Potter book.
The first edition of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” sold for over $34,500 Thursday.
But here’s the catch.
This book includes two typos and one mistake!
Apparently the book had just been sitting half forgotten in the closet until its owner realized she might be able to sell it to pay for a new bathroom.
She met up with a rare books expert who confirmed it was the real deal and a private collector in the UK snatched it up faster than you can say “expelliarmus!”
In case you’re wondering what the mistakes are:
“One wand” is listed twice in an equipment list on page 53.
Also the word “philosopher” is misspelled on the back cover.
And on the copyright page, Rowling is identified as “JoAnne” instead of by her initials J.K.
Pretty interesting.
