Rare edition of Harry Potter book to be auctioned
A rare edition of the first Harry Potter book, never released to the public, is to be auctioned after being kept in an attic for a decade.
Ms Esslemont was 16 when she took part in the 2012 competition run by book publisher Bloomsbury, which asked fans for a colourful and elaborate letter of no more than 50 words explaining why they loved the series.Letters could only be submitted through specially-designed post boxes at participating bookshops and libraries, with the overall winner receiving one of the books and a family holiday to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at the Universal theme park in Florida.
She added she had "kept the book wrapped up in the attic for years" but had decided to part with it as "the money would be useful now".The book, containing a dedication to her, is being auctioned along with her original competition entry which is in the form of a folding document inspired by the series' magical Marauder's Map.
