The story of how I found my first edition of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by JK Rowling at my local Amvets Thrift Store!
My
best friend and I have a tradition of going to all of the thrift
stores in our neighborhood every month or so to check them out.
Rachel looks for anything and everything, while I am constantly
looking for Harry Potter merch that I don't yet own. Any one who
knows me knows that Harry Potter means everything to me and I will do
anything to acquire anything related to it.

So it was no surprise to
Rachel when suddenly the book she had just pulled off the shelf at my
favorite thirfty was plucked from her hands before she even read the
title, accompanied by a gasp and a high pitched “It can't be!”
Rachel had unknowingly picked up a first edition copy of Harry
Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I
had recognized the spine colors. I couldn't even imagine how this
book made it's way to this place, but before I could think too hard
about it I immediately went to the front and bought it. There was no
way I was going to let that book about of my sight until it was
officially mine. That is the book that started my collection of UK
Children's editions of Harry Potter.
One never knows what one will
find in a thrift store if one looks hard enough. They are magical
places.
