Prior to 2017, non-original-print copies of the ‘textbook’ written by ‘Newt Scamander,’ aside from the original print, were very cheap. Harry Potter mania suggests that even the most contemporary of Harry Potter texts, if bought in the original print, will have instant value. For example, an original print of To Kill A Mockingbird costs about 300 dollars - and that book was written almost 80 years ago. In general, original prints of books only cost as much as they do when they’re very old books. To buy an original print of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone can cost anywhere from 1,000 to 5,000 dollars on Ebay and other second-hand seller sites. Rowling’s original prints of any other Harry Potter books. It’s also pretty shocking that the original copies are expensive as they are - but that shouldn’t be a surprise given the larger context of J.K. So getting your hands on a copy of the original textbook is no small feat, and only one to be accomplished should you feel like shelling over the cash. In the real world, the very first 2001 printing of the book - the original, only sold in limited quantities - now sells on rare book seller vendor sites, sometimes, for over 2,500 dollars. These days, Newt Scamander is the main protagonist of the Fantastic Beasts film series, and in the first movie he is at work on that textbook, carrying a suitcase of dozens if not hundreds of magical creatures. Besides a further nod to Scamander in the third movie - he is seen walking near Dumbledore’s office on Harry’s Marauder’s Map - he’s barely a blip in the HPU radar. Harry reads that list aloud, including the text and Scamander’s full name, to Hagrid while they’re on the tube, on the way to Diagon Alley for the first time.
Rowling actually wrote and compiled Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them under the pen name of Newt Scamander, a nod to the fictional textbook Fantastic Beasts, which is on most first-years textbook list at Hogwarts and is a well-known academic text in magizoologist circles.
Is there a copy out there that parents out there can get for their kid? Is it just a text that’s in the HPU but has never seen the light of day? If not, where can parents get a copy? Here’s the deal.įirst released in 2001, J.K. With the sequel to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them hitting theatres in just 10 days, parents of kids who are avid readers - and avid readers of Harry Potter - might want to know more about the movie that’s named after a textbook in the Harry Potter Universe.
