Sally said she only realised the book could be worth something after seeing similar one on the Antiques Roadshow
It has now been sold to a collector in the north of England and Sally is giving her unexpected windfall to charity. Sally said: "She was quite tired because she'd been up late as she'd just won the Smarties book prize the night before. It sat on bookshelves for many years, and while Sally's family were Harry Potter fans, they read the paperback versions, leaving this one in pristine conditionsShe explained: "A young woman was featured with her signed Harry Potter book and I was amazed to find that it was worth some money."
"It's believed there are only around 10,000 of these books printed, and only a small number of these were signed and inscribed by Jo, said Mr Houston. The five-man team, Atlantic Body and Soul, is supporting the Edinburgh-based organisation The Junction, and Body and Soul in London.
