'That's just my luck,' said the woman who found the prized book in Sutton Coldfield, in central England.
While browsing a thrift store in the U.K., one woman thought she had struck gold when she stumbled on a first edition of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for just £1.50 , but her excitement was short-lived.TikTok user Klio Pan Agabiou shared her discovery in a video with more than 1.1 million views—only to reveal a heartbreaking twist. 'Ugh, gutted,' Agabiou said in the video, opening the book to show that its pages were filled with children's doodles and scribbles.
Agabiou even shared a comparison in her TikTok video, showing a first edition of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire listed on eBay for nearly $9,000, demonstrating the potential worth of these coveted books in good condition. However, faced with the scribbled pages, she ultimately left the find behind. 'I wouldn't have enjoyed it in that condition,' she said, 'but I'm sure someone else wouldn't have minded.'Commenters on TikTok had mixed reactions.
