A Scottish mum has splurged on a magical cruise for her family after an old 'tatty' Harry Potter book sold for thousands of pounds.
Holly Hodgart, 34, couldn't believe her luck when the first-edition copy of the Philosopher's Stone went under the hammer and fetched her £20k.
The stay-at-home mum, from Glasgow, said she was worried the paperback might not even survive the trip to the selling house due to its 'tatty' condition. But nonetheless, it was snapped up by a buyer for £20,160, including the buyer's premium.
