Holly Hodgart, 34, couldn't believe her luck when the first-edition copy of the Philosopher's Stone went for some a high price when she put it up for auction.
A Scots mum has booked a magical cruise for her family after selling an old Harry Potter book for £20k.
"I lent it to one girl at school in 2000, it went around the whole boarding house, and came back to me in bad condition. When the auction house confirmed they would be cataloguing the rare book, Holly shared the exciting news on social media - and an old friend reached out to her to say she had sold a first-edition copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone for thousands.
She said: "My mum used that book to bribe me to go to boarding school. She said, 'If Harry can do it so can you'. I had a trunk and all, she really tried to sell it to me."For many years I kept thinking I would sell the book and would periodically get in touch with auction houses."Last year I thought I've got a four-and-a-half-year-old and two-year-old, I've got to get it out the house before it gets damaged, it's not doing anything on a bookshelf.
