A first edition of JK Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone has sold for £33,000 at auction after the owner discovered it in a skip.
The rare hardback copy was found in 2008 by a teacher at a school in Buckinghamshire and was stored in her loft. Just 500 copies of the book were printed in 1997 and this book was valued at between £8,000 and £12,000. The auction took place online and by phone due to lockdown restrictions.
