Our resident wizarding expert, Dr Philip W. Errington, shares his insights into the publishing phenomenon that is Harry Potter in this talk which took place in June 2022.
With over two decades of experience, Phil knows how to spot a true first edition, and offers his advice on how to build an outstanding Harry Potter collection. He’s also accumulated a tale or two in his time as J. K. Rowling’s bibliographer, and has even worked with the author on occasions.
We were also delighted to welcome Barry Cunningham, the first editor of Harry Potter who, in conversation with Phil, reveals a few stories about the original appearance of the book twenty-five years ago.
