First Edition Of “Harry Potter” Worth A Ton Of Money

Quick, check those shelves if your searching for an opportunity for some big bucks.

If you were an early reader and have a first edition of Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone, you could be in for a huge windfall.

According to 7 News in Australia, only 500 books were printed. Those books were sent to schools and libraries around the world at the time.

An original copy is expected to bring in $34,500 when the hammer comes down at Hanson's auction block. What makes this version of the book special are two publishing errors.

On the back jacket is the misspelling of "philosopher" and there's a repetition inside the pages.
