you all do realize that books of magic's Harry can be seen as the first 'proto-type' in that Rowlings admitted to reading those prior to coming up with a character so similar....

 

Wut?

...both Harry Potter and Timothy Hunter are "boy wizards" from British writers in the 1990s, but they're both probably influenced by this earlier one (1988):

The story starts as the boy wizard goes to the train station by himself to go live with his uncle...

You can just order it from Barnes & Noble or Amazon.

I wouldn't recommend anyone getting a copy for speculation or heck, even if you're just plain picky about condition to buy from Amazon. Their packaging is pretty atrocious and books I get from them normally have blunted corners and edges. Definitely more VF than NM. Honestly, I've never realized just how bad until I started getting TPBs from InStockTrades.

I was in Vegas, btwn spending a couple hundred on what is a charitable cause vs. blowing it like the rest of my trip funds on poker/blackjack, was an easy choice.

 

If HP some day (could be a year or two or decades from now) gets a successful regular comic series, this will really blow up. Otherwise, depends on the print run.

 

For $10 a pop, 1st app. of a super established cultural phenomenon sporting an expanding universe (e.g. Fantastic Beasts)... very low risk + high reward potential.

 

Also, next generation already hooked, check.
