The book, which is only one of 200 ever printed, is set to go under the hammer at an auction in the US next month.
A rare and uncorrected proof of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone that spelled J.R Rowling's name wrong is set to go under the hammer at an action in the US.
Its proceeds went towards St. Kenelm’s at the time. Now, it is set to be resold and will be available for bidding at the upcoming Historical Platinum auction event in Dallas, Texas, on July 25. In 2021, a first edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone fetched $471,000 at auction - the equivalent of £371,435. Five hundred copies were printed of that edition.
And earlier this year, another first edition of the same sequel sold for £7,500 after being anonymously donated to a charity shop. Staff at the RSPCA branch on the Isle of Wight were left gobsmacked when a mystery donor gifted them the book and told them it was a possible first edition.
