WHAT IS YOUR HARRY POTTER BOOK WORTH? FIRST EDITION vs FIRST PRINTING

I looked at my Harry Potter book and I noticed a problem immediately: It said sorcerers stone. 😄

Omfg ikr it’s so annoying! Like why tf would they make it ‘sorcerers stone’? Did J.K even appreciate that? Lol. It’s so fuckin annoying. Like why? It sounds ugly and so cringe. I apologise to anyone reading ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone’

[@SarastistheSerpent]

Jamez JAMEZZZ no she didn’t appreciate it. She considers letting scholastic change the title the biggest mistake of her career. She even used to correct people when they said sorcerers stone and said it was Philosophers Stone.

This is true for so many collectible books out there, it's sad that sellers do not explain or even know if they are selling a first printing. It is difficult because each publisher and each book has its own first printing points, but as always, buyer beware. Thank you for posting this and sharing your knowledge with us!

I've got three first edition books, half-blood prince, order of the Phoenix and the deathly hallows but as I had these books as a kid I wrote my name and date inside of the book. It says in my book that I bought it on 14th July 2005 midnight 😂

[@firebow2810]

I was at the bookstore earlier today and picked up a copy of OOTP because I didn't have the Bloomsbury version and had all the others and it was driving me nuts. So when I saw it in the secondhand section for 9 euros I thought 'might as well'. It was wrapped in see through foil so when I opened it at home I checked the print and was pleasantly surprised to find it was a first print. Really boosted my mood.

[@BooksUnboxed]

Wonderful collection and videos. You can really see your passion for collecting. Is your first edition hardcover the same one from your video in 2016? The library copy? If that is a restoration, that looks really well done. I collect books as well, but my tastes are a bit more all over the place, though I do have a HP 1st, its just the paperback.

[@ThePotterCollector]

Thank you so much! No, my current copy is unrestored. The one in the 2016 video was the first 1/1 in my collection. I sold it to help pay for this new upgraded copy. A 1/1 paperback is rare too!

[@Zafer7love]

The First editions’ box sets became so hard to find, and it’s so frustratingI just want one of each paperback complete 7 books set (so not the original original adult ones with only the first 4 books)Sure they are never gonna be as rare as these extremely valuable books But still, why do they have to stop printing these just because they have new editionsSure to make people buy those insteadBut wouldn’t it be great if people could pick which set they like the most and buy thatAs a kid i absolutely adored the adult editions with all the items on the cover.... but can’t get it just like thatSo for a while i’m gonna have thise huge hole in my box set collection, because first ed children and first ed adult has decided to disappear from earth -.-

[@ThePotterCollector]

I have a first edition 8th print of The Philosophers Stone. I think it’s really cool because it shows a younger Dumbledore on the spine which was later reprinted with an older Dumbledore.

Those numbers are the impressions. If the line has a "1" anywhere it is a first impression. A line that is 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 means a true 1st 1st copy! So it seems like you have the real deal since you said 10 9 8 ...... (implying it had all the numbers down to 1).

I thought Prisoner of Azkaban had 3 first printing states? The first 2 that you mentioned, then a 3rd state which has 2 adverts of the 2 prior books at the back of the book, and the "printed in GB by Clays Ltd." is omitted from the edition / print run page. See www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=15736767544 as an example, albeit a signed one.

[@ThePotterCollector]

Yes. Many believe there are three states. But recently Harry Potter collectors are agreeing (I am one of them) that the 3rd state is actually the first printing Australian edition. Most are found in Australia, the paper quality is the same as earlier and later HP books (if you compare all three states, the 3rd state is a bit thicker which is true when comparing the UK and Australian CoS for example), there is no printer info which matches that of the 2nd printing Australian book, and finally there is no 1st printing Australian copy. All roads point to the fact that the 1/1/3 PoA is Australian. :)
