The 'Young Dumbledore' on the back of the early editions was actually just a random wizard. When I was at school I did a big project as part of my Graphics A-Level on Harry Potter and managed to end up in e-mail contact with the illustrator Thomas Taylor. He said that he was requested to draw just a random wizard, not any particular character, for the back, but was changed for subsequent editions because so many kids were writing in to ask how the wizard was supposed to be.
My grandfather had one of the largest rare book collections in Latin America. Each trip to his house as a child was full of wonder and excitement as I carefully rummaged through the piles of treasures he had collected throughout the years, listening to him tell me the stories they held and showing me how to properly hold a book, turn a page, and take care of it as if it were a living organism. The most magical moments of my youth, and perhaps my entire life. Books are indeed a living organism, and there's nothing quite like holding an old book in your palms, smelling that wonderful "old book" smell, and becoming--for just a moment--a part of its history. I would not doubt for a single second on placing a bid for JK's personal copy. To know what the author thought about each chapter, details, personal elements that she tied into the book. What a privilege it must be!

You potentially missed one of the rarest things. Namely the Harry Potter prequel story that Rowling auctioned off in 2008 about Sirius & James run in with a cop... Something that is currently MIA since it was stolen in a burglary in 2017, if I remember right...
I don't believe so, everything I've found on it mentions that it was stolen and several comments about warning not to buy it because you could get arrested for doing so...
My friend is all like "I own a first edition first print Sorcerer's stone" Me: a. you've also claimed to never have read a harry potter book. b. if you did, you'd know that is "philosophers" especially considering that we're British.
We have the original first edition book. I remember way back when my sister and I used to cuddle in bed with our mom as she tells us the story. I think we also have the first ed chamber of secrets and prisoner of azkaban. Now my sister is sorted to Gryffindor and i'm in Ravenclaw. Thanks mom! Great parenting ;)
My copy of the Philosopher's Stone has the double wand typo and the short-bearded Dumbledore on the back. I'll have to check on how Jo is copyrighted with her name, city, and what print batch it's in. This is a real modern day treasure hunt. Collect the five clues and be the owner of a fabulous relic.
David Gallagher Nah, legit. I'm gonna pop up a few pictures on Twitter when I get back home. I'm currently taking intensive courses in another town so I can't get to it until Friday evening.
Groteszk Presents @zackatk77 I'll probably jump back to this thread when I tweet out what my copy has since I won't be home until approximately 5:30pm EDT on Friday.
I've got a first edition Philosopher's Stone book, but it's not first printed. It's got the mistake of the two wands and the "Text by Joanne Rowling", but it's printed in Canada and it's got Dumbledore on the back. What's cool about it is that I got it from a book sale (so someone previously owned it) so I have no idea how they got it before me (it was also $1!).
ithinkimcool I have a first edition philosophers stone one with the name Joanne Rowling it was bound in Great Britain but it is the tenth printing. It’s in amazing condition to. I also have four US first printing first editions.
Me: *looks over to my nightstand where i have sitting a copy of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" with the same cover he showed as the first editions.* ... Could it be? *Checks the inside and sees 'Joanne Rowling'* Me: SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE My Family: What the heck was that?
I have the copy of Deathly Hallows that I bought at midnight the night it came out. That doesn't sound too special because people all over the world stood in line that night, but I kept everything I got at that event. Pressed between the pages are the receipt for the book, a promotional "Snape: Friend or Foe?" bookmark (which had arguments for each theory on each side) and my ticket to Borders' release party. I know this won't ever be worth big money or anything, but it's like my own little museum of a night my grandkids will be jealous I lived to see.
Missy Barbour I have the same keepsakes! I also have all the wrist bands that were given out for Deathly Hallows for the four houses. They are very special to me as well because I don’t think any of us will ever forget the excitement of finally getting our hands on a book we waited years for.
@@phrase3010 The first 17 prints mean the sequence at the bottom will end in 17. I think they mean one of the first 17 copies of the first book EVER TO BE PRINTED, in which case it will say Joanne Rowling instead of J.K. Rowling. And, I found that 2/17 books are owned by people who commented in this comment section so these people got real lucky!
Akshara Senthil either that or the people who claim to own one of them either got mistaken and thought they own(ed) one or they were just saying it to brag
I've got a philosopher's stone book that my mum bought in the late 90s, it was the first one I ever read when I was 6 in 2000. I know it's not first edition though because it's got a gold badge on the front saying it won some award for fiction for 8-11 year olds (which meant I thought I wasn't allowed to read it for another 2 years).
He had more really tho, Ron gave him the Snatcher’s wand, then he got Draco’s wand, then got the Elder Wand, fixing his own Phoenix feather wand before restoring the Elder Wand back to Dumbledore.
My cousin owns the first ever print of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone which has a mistake in it. In the chapter where Harry reads his book list and equipment he needs for the first year, there is a mistake where "1 Wand' is written down twice. His mum, my aunt, bought it few days after it came out for my cousin for a night time reading. Apparently it's worth a lot since there are so few of them as the mistake was noticed and changed very quickly.
Just because it has the '1 wand' x2 error doesn't mean it is a first print, only a first edition, just like J mentioned in the video. This error was around for a very long time, I have a Canadian 1st Edition, 6th printing of Philosopher's Stone that was part of a boxed set with Chamber and Prisoner, and it still has the wand error - so that was quite a few years later. If you want to confirm the books rarity look for the printing location and the printing number - again, exactly like J said in the video.
My mom bought a A Time To Heal signed by President Gerald Ford from our local library's booksale for 25¢. It turned out to be worth around $500. We kept it for a while and thought about selling it but in the end we gave it to our AP US History teacher as a parting gift because he taught so many people in our family and was such an amazing person.
I don't own any fact books but I do own one of the original dumbledore pocket watches created for everyone who worked on the first harry potter movie. They go for a couple of hundred online now :)
Hello! I love Harry Potter!!!! I’m a Gryffindor and my dad turned my basement into the Gryffindor common room a few years ago! I also love this channel!!!
6:32 MAN, I remember that exact cover. That was one of the books I remember getting as a kid while in school still. I distinctly remember that dust jacket / cover and thinking how cool it looked, makes me wonder what ever happened to it let alone if it was a rare one or not. 7:40 I also remember it having that short beard version of Dumbledore on the back. Wow... I reallllllly hope I DIDN'T have one of the rare ones as a kid hahaha cause I have ZERO clue on what ever happened too it.
I have two rare books in my house. One is a book I made in 1st grade, which there is only one of, and a book I hand bound and personally wrote and illustrated for my brother and mom's younger sister for Christmas. There are only two of those. Might not be worth much now in terms of money, but they have sentimental value.
Just checked my Philosopher's stone copy. 1st edition, 48th printing. Devastated but on the bright side it was cute seeing 6 year old me's attempt at signing my name just inside the cover.
J, if I'm ever fortunate enough to acquire any of these revered tomes, I will be happy to share them with you... or at least grant visitation. ;) I don't own any 'valuable' books (at least, valuable to anyone other than myself), but if you're ever in Portland, OR go check out the rare book room in Powell's. Inspiring!
Gdegody It's one of the biggest book stores I've ever seen. It's huge, and it's also a mix of amazingly cheap used books and brand new books, as well as rare/unique/cool books. Please go check it out at some point.
I had no idea how rare the first edition Philosopher’s Stone books were. My school librarian gave me first edition Philosopher’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets for my 10th birthday. I definitely value them a whole lot more now!
The first edition print isnt that rare, but its the first PRINTED of the first edition is what makes it rare. Loads of people have the first edition, I think most of the comment section does, including myself.
Fun story, I actually own a first edition hard-back copy of the first book, with the gold pages and all. My nana brought it home from her trip to the UK two years before the books were released in North America. It took me a year to read it, because I got bored halfway through (I was pretty young and it was the first chapter book I ever voluntarily read). Naturally, the first thing I did with the book was doodle my name inside it, so its value is likely nadda now, except to me emotionally. That book started my love of fantasy literature and by extension literature as a whole. :3
RedVexeD we have almost the same story incoming to own one! My aunt went to London before HP picked up and she was a massive bibliophile. She brought back a first edition with her for us. Our copy is also fairly gross after two small children took it everywhere including the bath, ate while reading it; spilled drinks on it etc lol. It’s special to us and it’s neat to know we own something rare but we definitely did a number on that poor book lol. If only we knew!
Pretty sure it was Seamus Gorman who I saw with a copy of Philosopher's Stone with the generic eccentric looking wizard on the back. (If it wasn't him it was Dean from Harry Potter Folklore or Morgan from Movieflame.) I remember wondering who was depicted the back of said copy.
Instead of forcing your kid to be a gryffindor(not that it is a bad thing) you should have really waited for him to grow up a bit/get him every edition.
Watch the video, he gets emotional because Luke was born early and Beth had some issues and was in the hospital for quite some time before he was born. In the vlog J says he just knows Luke will be a Gryffindor based on how strong and brave he’s already had to be in his short life. Add in the fact that Beth is a Gryffindor and that would be why.
My uncle's friend has that handwritten copy of tales of 'beedle the bard'. He wanted to sell it but I showed him this video and Well... Umm.... He's a HP geek and ain't giving it now. Sad!!
So my school library somehow had a first print copy and so I “signed it out to reas it” and then “lost it”. Oh bummer! I guess I have to pay a $20 fee to the library. I feel guilty tho so I brought a new Harry Potter book and claimed the other one was falling apart and that the school deserved better.
i have two copies of philosophers stone both being the early version, and one of them has the old “dumbledore” on the back but it’s stuck in the garage somewhere 😩
Stephen Fry > Jim Dale. Just saying, works better. Better female voice work by Fry. He perfectly encapsulates Ludo Bagman. And there's just more of a quintessential Britishness to them.
not to mention he reads the original british versions whereas Jim Dale, good though he definitely is, reads from the pointlessly-edited-for-American-readers versions
Robert Brookes agreed. I only listened to one chapter by Jim Dale (because I own both but for some reason one chapter in the second Fry book didn't make it on the flash drive I use in my car) and his Dobby actually gave me an actual headache... like I couldn't take it. I am sure he is good otherwise but I wasn't about to put myself through that every time dobby popped up
Aaah, I think you probably have the published edition of the hand-written print. The one J's talking about didn't 'come with prints'. The one he's talking about didn't come in a box, either. It was given out to people.
Over the years I have actually come to own first edition first prints of all the British Bloomsbury Harry Potters including some that came directly from the printers and are still in unread condition
Hi, Not sure if you will get this message; however, if you ever want to sell your water damaged HBP signed book; I am very interested; email; millenium1one@gmail.com
Looking back it is always easy to say that.. Your friends mom probably gets hundreds of books per day that some obscure writer wants released.. Loads of good books probably end up slipping through their fingers as a result.. I imagine it is almost mass production.. Read perhaps 10 random pages or something and decide from there. They probably don't read entire books.. Same with Bitcoins.. Or when my grandfather had the opportunity 80 years ago to purchace a load of land on multiple islands in the North Sea of the Netherlands.. Which everyone thought was gotta be taken by the seas in the long run.. So it was incredibly cheap but sadly he decided to not buy all the land offered but only a small piece for a personal house.. Because he didn't want to risk it.. Basically if my grandfather bought it all he would possess a huge part of 5 of the 7 Islands in the north of the Netherlands which are today tourists hubs.. Perhaps making my grandfather and as a result me a billionaire. He regrets the decision until his deathbed.. But he always said that if he found himself back in those same shoes he likely would have done the same without this foresight.. A mistake like that can be incredibly expensive.. It was a gamble, and he didn't took it.. But if he did bought it and the islands were destroyed over the years then he would have lost his entire fortune.. So I think I would have done the same in his shoes..
So I don't know if it's worth anything but I took a look at my copy of Philosopher's Stone from when I was a kid, It's from printing 3 since the numbers are listed as 109876543 and on the same page her name is written as Joanne Rowling. it also has the weird Dumbledore on the back and on page 53 the phrase "1 Wand" is listed twice. but it's also called the "School Market Edition" and I don't know if that means anything. The cover is also damaged but the rest of the book is in fairly decent shape for being around 20 years old.
I just went to check my copy of the Philosopher's stone, we were living in New Zealand at the time, so its not one of the first first prints, but its seems to be a First print from Australia, it has the 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1.
Same, I'm from NZ too and I bought all 7 books from this woman off TradeMe for $50! And two of them say 'First Edition' (printed in Australia) and two other ones have the 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 thing. Also, the philosophers stone one has the short-bearded wizard on it (it goes 20 19 18 17 16 15 though). But I doubt that woman knew what she was selling because $50!!! Bargain of the century!😂
I have a medical text from 1879, and a volume of inventories and accounts from the reign of Henry II that was published in 1898, but no very special copies of Harry Potter. BUT, I really want Jo to write _Hogwarts: a HISTORY_. After teasing us with it for seven books, I think she owes us!
So .... prints in other languages do not matter correct ? Cause I have an edition with a cover looking like the first edition (Including the wizard at the back) it does have her as Joanne Rowling . But it is in Greek . I thing that the biggest problem it is from it being from the 47th reprint .... :’(
I think all the greek copies I have seen have the other wizard. When I first heard of this rarity I got all excited bc I was sure my copy had it, but it turns out it was the greek version. English version has Dumbledore allright. But I have an early print of COS, 5th or something, in English. Wonder if that's worth a little extra ... btw, greek translation sucks... it takes away so much from the original spirit.

I only have 2 versions of the books, a french version because I was too young then to read english, and it isn't even of the same series, the first 5 are pocket-sized books and the last are classic big ones, cause I couldn't wait for them to be released in the same edition. I even have a HP6 english first edition because I wanted to read it before it comes out in french but I wasn't able to read proper english back then. And recently (well 2 or 3 years ago), I got a full english version set, with really pretty covers to finally read the books in english. It took me about 2 months to read all of them and I was really happy because they were the first ever books I have ever read in english.
I bought a 1st edition, 11th print edition of the Philosopher's Stone at a stand alone used bookstore in my local university 😊📖.... It was the book with the young wizard/young Dumbledore, where it says "Joanne Rowling", and where page 53 says "1 wand" twice 😀 ✨..... I instantly remembered this video when I saw that book at the stand alone used bookstore and decided I had to rewatch this video again to determine how to tell whether I bought a 1st edition 1st printing 🙂
I have a first edition of Harry Potter A History of Magic AND it is also a first print! I also have just first editions of Goblet of Fire, Cursed Child, and Harry Potter A Wand Collection! I have a question for y’all. How much value do just first editions carry?
Elise Roman I think it depends on the book. I have a second print of TBM (it’s a Percy Jackson book) but it likely won’t be worth anything for awhile and even then... I might have a first edition of TCC but who knows?
I love the Stephen Fry audio books!! You should totally get them!! I think Jim Dale reads too fast and exaggerates the voices too much, but maybe that's just because I'm used to the Fry version.
I enjoy Stephen Fry's version and have most of series, but to me Jim Dale's version has much more variety and energy, which I appreciate as I'm not really a fan of audiobooks in general. Too easy for me to be annoyed by boring/less articulate/poorly matched narrators.
This! This is my favorite Super Carlin Bros. By a long shot. Great episode! Aside from any of those rare Potter books, my "holy grail" book would have to be a smuggled copy of James Joyce's Ulysses. Since it was banned in America when it first came out, people would slap a different cover on top of them and smuggle them into the States. It's my favorite book, and a smuggled copy would just be the ultimate.
Kaitlyn They are super cool we have a couple (1-3) and they are really good if you volunteer at your local Scholastic warehouse you can get them discounted this may not help but I hope it does
I bought as a gift for my sister, and she still has, the limited collectors version of Tales of Beedle the Bard, which came packaged inside of a velvet bag, inside of a larger leather book storage case. My sisters calls it the most beautiful book she has ever seen. I got it new when it went on sale for $100... they now sell between $400-600.

I'll have to check on how Jo is copyrighted with her name, city, and what print batch it's in. This is a real modern day treasure hunt. Collect the five clues and be the owner of a fabulous relic.

David Gallagher Nah, legit. I'm gonna pop up a few pictures on Twitter when I get back home. I'm currently taking intensive courses in another town so I can't get to it until Friday evening.
whats ur twitter?
Groteszk Presents @zackatk77 I'll probably jump back to this thread when I tweet out what my copy has since I won't be home until approximately 5:30pm EDT on Friday.
Dude, hurry up!!! You got so me excited! Please inform when you get back , if you want.
I've got a first edition Philosopher's Stone book, but it's not first printed. It's got the mistake of the two wands and the "Text by Joanne Rowling", but it's printed in Canada and it's got Dumbledore on the back. What's cool about it is that I got it from a book sale (so someone previously owned it) so I have no idea how they got it before me (it was also $1!).
ithinkimcool I have a first edition philosophers stone one with the name Joanne Rowling it was bound in Great Britain but it is the tenth printing. It’s in amazing condition to. I also have four US first printing first editions.
What condition is it in?
I'll buy it off you for $2, that's quite the return on you investment.
A dolla?!
Same for the one i have! Except i got it at a librairy sale(slithly damaged) for 25 cents!
Me: *looks over to my nightstand where i have sitting a copy of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" with the same cover he showed as the first editions.* ... Could it be? *Checks the inside and sees 'Joanne Rowling'*
Me: SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
My Family: What the heck was that?
Congrats! I couldn’t even find the number he was talking about in my copy of the sorcerers stone 😂
@@SilverTune if it says sorcerers stone its not first addition
Jizzma that’s fair, either way I’m curious 🤷🏼♀️
LUCKY!
:o i love this comment :)
I have the copy of Deathly Hallows that I bought at midnight the night it came out. That doesn't sound too special because people all over the world stood in line that night, but I kept everything I got at that event. Pressed between the pages are the receipt for the book, a promotional "Snape: Friend or Foe?" bookmark (which had arguments for each theory on each side) and my ticket to Borders' release party. I know this won't ever be worth big money or anything, but it's like my own little museum of a night my grandkids will be jealous I lived to see.
Missy Barbour I have the same keepsakes! I also have all the wrist bands that were given out for Deathly Hallows for the four houses. They are very special to me as well because I don’t think any of us will ever forget the excitement of finally getting our hands on a book we waited years for.
7:56 the og Dumbledore looks like young Dumbledore from fantastic beast
IKR
Gamer9 Smith i was very surprised he didn’t catch that
I know right? Maybe, just maybe they based his look on that picture? I like that theory. :D
I already commented that when I saw this 😢
I have one of these first editions and I thought that tge dumbledore on the back was Quirrel 😂
"First of all touch it." 😂
Quote from joe Biden and Donald trump
I'm just excited because somewhere in my grandparents house Ive realised I have one of the first 17 prints of the philosophers stone :)
😮
wait how do you know it's the first 17 prints? does the printer's key have 20 19 18 17 or sm?
@@phrase3010 The first 17 prints mean the sequence at the bottom will end in 17. I think they mean one of the first 17 copies of the first book EVER TO BE PRINTED, in which case it will say Joanne Rowling instead of J.K. Rowling. And, I found that 2/17 books are owned by people who commented in this comment section so these people got real lucky!
Akshara Senthil either that or the people who claim to own one of them either got mistaken and thought they own(ed) one or they were just saying it to brag
I've got a philosopher's stone book that my mum bought in the late 90s, it was the first one I ever read when I was 6 in 2000. I know it's not first edition though because it's got a gold badge on the front saying it won some award for fiction for 8-11 year olds (which meant I thought I wasn't allowed to read it for another 2 years).
ah i have a chamber of secrets version like that
You should rate the harry potter book covers from different countries.
Good idea
The German ones are disgusting!
slytherinxpride agreed! I’m from the us and I ordered all my Harry Potter books from the uk because of the original art work! Italy comes in second
7:17 that wasnt a typo.... it was an easter egg😎 Harry would 8ndeed have two wands at once by the end!
DrewLSsix
"Eightndeed"
He had more really tho, Ron gave him the Snatcher’s wand, then he got Draco’s wand, then got the Elder Wand, fixing his own Phoenix feather wand before restoring the Elder Wand back to Dumbledore.
Judy Wright But he was the master of only two wands though haha
But JK Rowling probably wouldn’t have thought of that
Also it was fixed.
“first of all, touch it” is now my favorite J quote
The other publishing houses might’ve been like “Oh god, we messed up.”
My cousin owns the first ever print of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone which has a mistake in it. In the chapter where Harry reads his book list and equipment he needs for the first year, there is a mistake where "1 Wand' is written down twice. His mum, my aunt, bought it few days after it came out for my cousin for a night time reading. Apparently it's worth a lot since there are so few of them as the mistake was noticed and changed very quickly.
Just because it has the '1 wand' x2 error doesn't mean it is a first print, only a first edition, just like J mentioned in the video. This error was around for a very long time, I have a Canadian 1st Edition, 6th printing of Philosopher's Stone that was part of a boxed set with Chamber and Prisoner, and it still has the wand error - so that was quite a few years later. If you want to confirm the books rarity look for the printing location and the printing number - again, exactly like J said in the video.
My mom bought a A Time To Heal signed by President Gerald Ford from our local library's booksale for 25¢. It turned out to be worth around $500. We kept it for a while and thought about selling it but in the end we gave it to our AP US History teacher as a parting gift because he taught so many people in our family and was such an amazing person.
waste of money i feel bad for you
that’s such a cool thing to do. Instead of selling it you gave it to someone who would get a use out of it.
7:13 Stop, stop stop you're going to take someone's eye out. Besides you're saying it wrong. It's stupefy, not snupefy!
I don't own any fact books but I do own one of the original dumbledore pocket watches created for everyone who worked on the first harry potter movie. They go for a couple of hundred online now :)
That's better than any merch ever 😊

6:32 MAN, I remember that exact cover. That was one of the books I remember getting as a kid while in school still. I distinctly remember that dust jacket / cover and thinking how cool it looked, makes me wonder what ever happened to it let alone if it was a rare one or not. 7:40 I also remember it having that short beard version of Dumbledore on the back. Wow... I reallllllly hope I DIDN'T have one of the rare ones as a kid hahaha cause I have ZERO clue on what ever happened too it.
Harry Potter and the philosophers infinity stones
I have two rare books in my house. One is a book I made in 1st grade, which there is only one of, and a book I hand bound and personally wrote and illustrated for my brother and mom's younger sister for Christmas. There are only two of those. Might not be worth much now in terms of money, but they have sentimental value.
Alexis Welsh that sounds cool
KeShi_Online Thanks!
I have a new favourite person it’s lil Alice

my school library has a rare one, remember picking it up and noticing the back drawing of dumbledore was different ahah, nice to know its this rare.
The two hundred people who own the first edition first print are in the comment section
Aeroplanes Lover meeeee
Aeroplanes Lover I have the first edition but it's the 37th print 😂
I was just thinking the same thing. Its amazing they all happened to watch this video...
I think most are getting confused between edition and print
Mine is the first print with “wand” listed twice
Just checked my Philosopher's stone copy. 1st edition, 48th printing. Devastated but on the bright side it was cute seeing 6 year old me's attempt at signing my name just inside the cover.
J, if I'm ever fortunate enough to acquire any of these revered tomes, I will be happy to share them with you... or at least grant visitation. ;)
I don't own any 'valuable' books (at least, valuable to anyone other than myself), but if you're ever in Portland, OR go check out the rare book room in Powell's. Inspiring!
Gdegody definitely! I could spend days in there!
Danielle Zepess I FRICK FRACKING LOVE POWELLS OMG
Gdegody It's one of the biggest book stores I've ever seen. It's huge, and it's also a mix of amazingly cheap used books and brand new books, as well as rare/unique/cool books. Please go check it out at some point.
I had no idea how rare the first edition Philosopher’s Stone books were. My school librarian gave me first edition Philosopher’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets for my 10th birthday. I definitely value them a whole lot more now!
OMG I DIDNT KNOW THE BOOKS I HAD WERE SO RARE. I HAVE THE FIRST EDITION COPY OF EACH OF THE BOOKS BECAUSE MY OLDER BROTHER PASSED THEM DOWN TO ME
HiradTheBest Gaming and More OMG 😮 your so lucky 🍀. I want it, so I can pass it down.
😭
The first edition print isnt that rare, but its the first PRINTED of the first edition is what makes it rare. Loads of people have the first edition, I think most of the comment section does, including myself.
Fun story, I actually own a first edition hard-back copy of the first book, with the gold pages and all. My nana brought it home from her trip to the UK two years before the books were released in North America. It took me a year to read it, because I got bored halfway through (I was pretty young and it was the first chapter book I ever voluntarily read).
Naturally, the first thing I did with the book was doodle my name inside it, so its value is likely nadda now, except to me emotionally. That book started my love of fantasy literature and by extension literature as a whole. :3
RedVexeD we have almost the same story incoming to own one! My aunt went to London before HP picked up and she was a massive bibliophile. She brought back a first edition with her for us. Our copy is also fairly gross after two small children took it everywhere including the bath, ate while reading it; spilled drinks on it etc lol. It’s special to us and it’s neat to know we own something rare but we definitely did a number on that poor book lol. If only we knew!
Pretty sure it was Seamus Gorman who I saw with a copy of Philosopher's Stone with the generic eccentric looking wizard on the back. (If it wasn't him it was Dean from Harry Potter Folklore or Morgan from Movieflame.) I remember wondering who was depicted the back of said copy.
Marie Lastname I'm pretty sure you're right. I remember seeing Seamus with it.
The first Harry potter book I read had that picture on the back, the whole time I was reading I was trying to work out who that random character was
I always thought it was supposed to be Nicolas Flamel
Tomsk Bromley That would make sense...my six year old brain never thought of that 😂
i have that one.
I have an ultra rare Harry Potter book signed by Daniel himself
I never said Daniel radicliffe I know someone named Daniel who can sign it
XD
Lol
They had us in the first half not gonna lie
the most important thing if you want your son to read is to NOT FORCE him to, let him discover it like the magical thing it is
he isnt forcing him to read it he just bought the book for him if he does want to read it
Instead of forcing your kid to be a gryffindor(not that it is a bad thing) you should have really waited for him to grow up a bit/get him every edition.
Hender I'm just wondering why he chose Gryffindor over Slytherin.
He doesn't want his kid to grow up a racist...
Hender But he’s a Slytherin
Watch the video, he gets emotional because Luke was born early and Beth had some issues and was in the hospital for quite some time before he was born. In the vlog J says he just knows Luke will be a Gryffindor based on how strong and brave he’s already had to be in his short life.
Add in the fact that Beth is a Gryffindor and that would be why.
Hender I like to think this just allows for a dramatic reveal later in life when his child begins to question where he belongs.
My uncle's friend has that handwritten copy of tales of 'beedle the bard'. He wanted to sell it but I showed him this video and Well... Umm.... He's a HP geek and ain't giving it now. Sad!!

So my school library somehow had a first print copy and so I “signed it out to reas it” and then “lost it”. Oh bummer! I guess I have to pay a $20 fee to the library. I feel guilty tho so I brought a new Harry Potter book and claimed the other one was falling apart and that the school deserved better.
Rubik's Cuber 1130 You are a hero! Haha I honestly would have done the exact same thing!
Rubik's Cuber 1130 that is savage!
Good for you, can't criticize you 'cause I would have done the EXACT same thing.
Hahaha a real literary pirate. (Though to be fair i would have been very tempted to do the same)
Rubik's Cuber 1130 at least you got them a new one
i have two copies of philosophers stone both being the early version, and one of them has the old “dumbledore” on the back but it’s stuck in the garage somewhere 😩
i have that edition too!
You have thousands of dollars just sitting in your garage...
thats the worst!
I have that one but I always thought it was Nicolas Flamel😯
and I just realised it says Joanne Rowling on the inside too!
Stephen Fry > Jim Dale. Just saying, works better. Better female voice work by Fry. He perfectly encapsulates Ludo Bagman. And there's just more of a quintessential Britishness to them.
not to mention he reads the original british versions whereas Jim Dale, good though he definitely is, reads from the pointlessly-edited-for-American-readers versions
Agreed. So much better!!
Totally agree. I've listened to the Fry version so much I read the books with his voice!
Robert Brookes agreed. I only listened to one chapter by Jim Dale (because I own both but for some reason one chapter in the second Fry book didn't make it on the flash drive I use in my car) and his Dobby actually gave me an actual headache... like I couldn't take it. I am sure he is good otherwise but I wasn't about to put myself through that every time dobby popped up
at 10:00 the way he says hit me up is so magical J.K could use is as fuel for a whole new world
My family has those covers of the books each and every one of them! it's the Harry Potter books I first read!

Aaah, I think you probably have the published edition of the hand-written print.
The one J's talking about didn't 'come with prints'.
The one he's talking about didn't come in a box, either. It was given out to people.
oh, yes this is ours th-cam.com/video/rp_1Ar6-D2w/w-d-xo.html :)

Dang. And I felt bad for not putting in $20 in bitcoin when they were going .90 a coin
Damn that would be difficult to get over
Looking back it is always easy to say that..
Your friends mom probably gets hundreds of books per day that some obscure writer wants released.. Loads of good books probably end up slipping through their fingers as a result.. I imagine it is almost mass production.. Read perhaps 10 random pages or something and decide from there. They probably don't read entire books..
Same with Bitcoins..
Or when my grandfather had the opportunity 80 years ago to purchace a load of land on multiple islands in the North Sea of the Netherlands.. Which everyone thought was gotta be taken by the seas in the long run.. So it was incredibly cheap but sadly he decided to not buy all the land offered but only a small piece for a personal house.. Because he didn't want to risk it..
Basically if my grandfather bought it all he would possess a huge part of 5 of the 7 Islands in the north of the Netherlands which are today tourists hubs.. Perhaps making my grandfather and as a result me a billionaire. He regrets the decision until his deathbed.. But he always said that if he found himself back in those same shoes he likely would have done the same without this foresight..
A mistake like that can be incredibly expensive.. It was a gamble, and he didn't took it.. But if he did bought it and the islands were destroyed over the years then he would have lost his entire fortune.. So I think I would have done the same in his shoes..
Lies lol
Charlie Symons WWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW
So I don't know if it's worth anything but I took a look at my copy of Philosopher's Stone from when I was a kid, It's from printing 3 since the numbers are listed as 109876543 and on the same page her name is written as Joanne Rowling. it also has the weird Dumbledore on the back and on page 53 the phrase "1 Wand" is listed twice. but it's also called the "School Market Edition" and I don't know if that means anything. The cover is also damaged but the rest of the book is in fairly decent shape for being around 20 years old.
ToxicHydreigon oh it’s nothing but that’s still cool

I just went to check my copy of the Philosopher's stone, we were living in New Zealand at the time, so its not one of the first first prints, but its seems to be a First print from Australia, it has the 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1.
Missiletainn can we see?
Same, I'm from NZ too and I bought all 7 books from this woman off TradeMe for $50! And two of them say 'First Edition' (printed in Australia) and two other ones have the 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 thing. Also, the philosophers stone one has the short-bearded wizard on it (it goes 20 19 18 17 16 15 though). But I doubt that woman knew what she was selling because $50!!! Bargain of the century!😂

how much would it cost in galleons?
Mate they’re muggles here
So .... prints in other languages do not matter correct ?
Cause I have an edition with a cover looking like the first edition (Including the wizard at the back) it does have her as Joanne Rowling . But it is in Greek .
I thing that the biggest problem it is from it being from the 47th reprint .... :’(
Lefteris Mplanas same!!!!
I think all the greek copies I have seen have the other wizard. When I first heard of this rarity I got all excited bc I was sure my copy had it, but it turns out it was the greek version. English version has Dumbledore allright. But I have an early print of COS, 5th or something, in English. Wonder if that's worth a little extra ... btw, greek translation sucks... it takes away so much from the original spirit.

"'Oooh, don't touch it. It's a first edition Harry Potter book.'
First of all touch it."
Nice advice
All my Harry Potter books are first edition as I pre ordered every one & collected it on the day of release. They have all been read once & put away
Dawn Mason how could you only read them once??? (but i guess you have a pretty valuable collection there so wow)
Anna Steffen I have to buy awhole new collection of the DVDs cos I wore them out! I deliberately put the books away so they would not get dogeared etc. I only started reading them to see if they were suitable for my 2 sons. They didnt get into them but I did!

I'll buy it from you for a 1000 dollars
@@hridaymehta5782 things that have been signed depend on the people selling them would bank rupt you and probably make you homeless unless you're rich and famous that makes millions a month 😂😂
I only have 2 versions of the books, a french version because I was too young then to read english, and it isn't even of the same series, the first 5 are pocket-sized books and the last are classic big ones, cause I couldn't wait for them to be released in the same edition.
I even have a HP6 english first edition because I wanted to read it before it comes out in french but I wasn't able to read proper english back then.
And recently (well 2 or 3 years ago), I got a full english version set, with really pretty covers to finally read the books in english. It took me about 2 months to read all of them and I was really happy because they were the first ever books I have ever read in english.
PtitMax almost the same here

“... touch it.”
I bought a 1st edition, 11th print edition of the Philosopher's Stone at a stand alone used bookstore in my local university 😊📖.... It was the book with the young wizard/young Dumbledore, where it says "Joanne Rowling", and where page 53 says "1 wand" twice 😀 ✨..... I instantly remembered this video when I saw that book at the stand alone used bookstore and decided I had to rewatch this video again to determine how to tell whether I bought a 1st edition 1st printing 🙂
I have a first edition of Harry Potter A History of Magic AND it is also a first print! I also have just first editions of Goblet of Fire, Cursed Child, and Harry Potter A Wand Collection! I have a question for y’all. How much value do just first editions carry?
Elise Roman I think it depends on the book. I have a second print of TBM (it’s a Percy Jackson book) but it likely won’t be worth anything for awhile and even then... I might have a first edition of TCC but who knows?
Brenduh : Hi just got your comment thanks for the feedback
Not much value
Not sure if it counts as rare or valuable but my dad and I own first editions of Shel Silverstein books
I had the first edition of each and every single one book and then my house got flooded and lost everything.... so sad really....
I hope you have recovered from the traumatic experience hope you and your family is fine after the flood

“Hey brotherrr” hmm is James Charles coming for their brand 😂😭
8:15 I have that philosophers stone, it may be no surprise but, it is!
I love the Stephen Fry audio books!! You should totally get them!! I think Jim Dale reads too fast and exaggerates the voices too much, but maybe that's just because I'm used to the Fry version.
I enjoy Stephen Fry's version and have most of series, but to me Jim Dale's version has much more variety and energy, which I appreciate as I'm not really a fan of audiobooks in general. Too easy for me to be annoyed by boring/less articulate/poorly matched narrators.
I wonder what they would be like if read by Kenneth Branagh lost my train of thought while typing and was imagining Liam Neeson reading Potter weird
This! This is my favorite Super Carlin Bros. By a long shot. Great episode! Aside from any of those rare Potter books, my "holy grail" book would have to be a smuggled copy of James Joyce's Ulysses. Since it was banned in America when it first came out, people would slap a different cover on top of them and smuggle them into the States. It's my favorite book, and a smuggled copy would just be the ultimate.
The rarest book I own is a first edition of Rudyard Kipling’s collected works
Awesome! Always enjoy your content. 😁👍🌸🌺

I bought as a gift for my sister, and she still has, the limited collectors version of Tales of Beedle the Bard, which came packaged inside of a velvet bag, inside of a larger leather book storage case. My sisters calls it the most beautiful book she has ever seen. I got it new when it went on sale for $100... they now sell between $400-600.
