"They have been gathering dust on a book shelf for more than 20 years but, after reading an article about how sought after Potter books are, I decided to contact Hansons Auctioneers." They will be offered, together with the original photo of the world-famous author with pupils at Waterstones in Hansons' Harry Potter and library auction on 7 March.
Mr Spencer said: "It's nice to think of those excited children going to meet JK Rowling in 1999."It is also a heart-warming memento of a reading craze - before any of the films had been made."
