If you were an early reader and have a first edition of Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone, you could be in for a huge windfall.
According to 7 News in Australia, only 500 books were printed. Those books were sent to schools and libraries around the world at the time. An original copy is expected to bring in $34,500 when the hammer comes down at Hanson's auction block.
