If you're an avid fan of the fantastical series, Harry Potter, then here's an awesome news. You might just be in luck to win a huge sum of money if you own a Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone edition.
A first edition of Philosopher's Stone, in only 500 hardback copies, comes with a rare error wherein "1 wand" is repeated twice in the list of school supplies that wizards were expected to bring with them to Hogwarts. The passage with the typo appears on page 53. According to Independent, the book with this error is expected to rake in as much as USD 33,000 when it goes for sale on 9 November at Bonhams Fine Books and Manuscripts in London.
"As the first book in the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher?s Stone has a special place in the affections of the millions of readers across the world and the proof reading error about the wand in the first edition has, of course, become a treasured piece of Harry Potter arcana." Independent quoted Bonhams' Head of Books and Manuscripts(sounds like a Hogwarts professor) Matthew Haley as saying.
First published in 1997, over 400 million copies of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone(known as "Sorceror's Stone" in US) have been sold worldwide. So if you're among the lucky 500, then you need to find that book and get a ticket to London! You could be rollin' in money.
