JK Rowling wrote most of the first Harry Potter book while sitting in an Edinburgh cafe
A rare first edition of JK Rowling's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in "exceptional condition" has sold for a magic £80,000 at auction. The book was one of 500 hardback copies printed in its first run in 1997 and bought from a Nottingham bookshop.Auctioneers Tennants, of Leyburn, North Yorkshire, had estimated the volume would sell for about £20,000-£30,000.The £80,000 book has a couple of slight misprints which mark it out as a sought-after volume
The £80,000 price ticket for the "exceptional copy, first edition, first impression, case-bound issue" sold on Wednesday excludes the buyer's premium, said the auctioneers. Tennants said 300 of the original books were sent to libraries and many had a "high rate of loss and damage".The sale price is one the highest ever recorded for one of JK Rowling's works.

Prince Harry ‘all too consumed’ with what people think of him and ‘reclaiming narrative'PRINCE HARRY is 'all too consumed' with what people think of him and reclaiming the 'narrative being painted of him', a royal expert argued after he announced he was releasing a memoir. He doesn’t care what the UK people think of him, it’s very much about the American audience. Wouldn’t surprise me if he thinks he or Meghan could be the next president as for some reason he thinks he’s a leader🤔 Maybe if he is he should stop acting like a 2yr old throwing tantrums and start doing something that's worth while in his life
