A Harry Potter first edition bought at a jumble sale for 25p sold for a staggering £28,500 at auction on Bargain Hunt.
It was one of only 500 hardback copies of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone – the first in JK Rowling’s series. The world's most famous author was born in Yate and later moved to Winterbourne before writing her incredible books.
The owner of the valuable book, a 54-year-old office worker, read it then left it on the shelf for 20 years before finally having it valued last year. It went under the hammer at Bishton Hall, Staffordshire, and, after a bidding war and was bought by a UK collector, according to the Mirror.
