A unique first edition of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was nearly discarded, but instead fetched an impressive sum of over £21,000 at auction.

The auction took place at NLB Auctions in Paignton on Saturday, attracting bidders both online and in person.

Daniel Pearce, the auctioneer, discovered the book among items belonging to a deceased individual from Brixham, which were initially destined for the trash.

Pearce expressed his excitement about the outcome, stating it was "an absolutely great result for a first edition hardback."

A rare first edition of a Harry Potter book, originally part of a limited print run, has recently fetched an impressive £21,000 at auction.

This particular copy, one of just 500 printed, was among 300 that found their way to public libraries.

One notable detail that helped authenticate its first edition status was a peculiar spelling error on the back cover.

The word 'philosopher's' is missing an 'o' at the end, which caught the attention of collector Mr. Pearce.

To cater to bidders from the west coast of the USA, the auction was set for around 16:00 GMT.

Mr. Pearce expressed his satisfaction with the sale, noting, "It's made its way overseas, and it's a really good result."

He added that the seller would be thrilled with the outcome.
