Summary

HASH(0x110e0ba0)

From the publisher

Harry Potter lives in a cupboard under the stairs at his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon's house after the death of his parents in a car crash. Then Harry is rescued into a world where nothing is as it seems and he discovers his true heritage at Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft.

First Edition Identification

The true first edition is considered the 1997 UK Bloomsbury edition, and copies are extremely scarce. Only about 500 hardcover copies were printed in the first run, so those are typically the most valuable of the original 5,000 copy run.

There are several points for true first editions. First, the word Bloomsbury is included in the title page. Second, the copyright date is 1997. Third, the copyright page will include the full number line. And finally, there is a misprint on page 53, which lists "1 wand" twice in the school supplies list.
