It’s a magical discovery that could be worth up to £20,000 ($25,000). A school close to Oxford has found a proof copy of JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter novel after fearing that the ultra-rare book had been lost.
Only 200 copies were believed to have been printed by Bloomsbury. The book, which even spells Rowling’s name as JA Rowling at one point, was purchased in 1997 for £1 by St Kenelm’s Primary School in the English village of Minster Lovell.
It was available in the school’s library but went largely untouched as children preferred to pick up editions of the novel with illustrated covers.
