The four sisters who were organizing their mother's belongings in England found the first edition of'Harry Potter' and had unexpected luck.



On the 31st of last month local time, British Metro and other foreign media reported that the'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone' by JK Rowling, a writer owned by four sisters in England, was worth 30,000 pounds and about 46 million won in our money. It was reported that it turned out to be the first edition.



Their mother, who was an elementary school teacher, died of breast cancer in 2005 at the age of 44.

For the next 16 years, the four daughters barely touched their mother's belongings, but recently, after receiving a call from their father that they wished to check their mother's belongings, they found a book at their parents' home.



This hardcover book was bought by my mother at a school festival more than 20 years ago at a school festival for about £1, with our money for about 1,500 won, and is said to be the first edition in 1997 and the'best collection of porters'.

These items are known to cost up to 100 million won depending on the degree of preservation.



The four sisters' books, with an estimate of over 40 million won, met conditions such as the number arrangement of the copyright page, one of the most important points in determining the first edition, and the book was in good condition.




The eldest daughter, who requested anonymity, was surprised when he first heard the auctioneers' quotes, saying, "It was like a moment in a TV antique show," and "This book is from heaven."



“As a child, my mother always emphasized the importance of reading books and filled the whole house with books, but I remember that a library in my house was filled with books from floor to ceiling.” , It left us a fantastic gift."



This book, which came to the four sisters with'unexpected luck', will soon be sold through auctions.

They added, "All the proceeds from sales will be divided equally."



The Hansons auction company, which arranges the auction, said, "It is a gift-like book that can confirm your mother's'everlasting love'. I hope you can make magical memories on the day of the auction."
