HI!! Welcome to my channel. I have been a part of the Potter-Collecting Community for about 10/11 years. AND I LOVE IT! I have a collection of over 1,000 Harry Potter books comprising of Harry Potter translations from the farthest reaches of the world (think Greenland, Mongolia, Nepal AND MANY OTHERS!), rare and signed Potter books and more! Because of my many years of experience with JK Rowling signed books, I have developed a trained eye for her signature (and the MANY forgeries!).
But my Harry Potter book collection is about way more than just the books -- in big, bold, vibrant colors, it illustrates the many friendships I've made in my collecting journey. I've found some of my best friends through Potter! And I look forward to meeting many more amazing people like you!
Have I mentioned I love meeting new people! Feel free to reach out to me to chat Potter or ask me Potter-related questions; I never mind! Talk to you soon!
Happy Collecting!
-Carly

It should be noted that the 15th anniversary Kazu set has two versions. The first edition release had a slimmer, tighter box made of better material but it was so tight that it was difficult to put the books back in and impossible if they were read. The box you have is the 2nd version, made of thicker cardboard and has plenty of space for book removal. I personally have a sealed original for display and the newer box for use.
Fuck german language!
Ahh, i wish i could go used book shopping with you!!
@@eldermillennial2000 🙂 Always love a great bookstore!

Can I have the wand
What about first edition first print signed value?
Is there a English Harry Potter all in one?
Are the pages made of India Paper? There are some Sigle Volume editions of "The Lord of the Rings" that use it. It even makes them look like an average-sized book.
The description of those books say "This gift edition hardback, presented in a beautiful foiled cloth slipcase decorated with brand new line art by Jonny Duddle, is a perfect addition to any Harry Potter fan's collection." - but to me this does not look like "cloth slipcase" at all. Are there different versions?
Hi Carly! Have you noticed the latest Bloomsbury children softbacks and hardbacks seem now to have the movie title both on Bloomsbury 's and Amazon's websites! (I have the softcover children and adult hardback myself) I wouldn't buy other Harry Potter brand new books (I have 2 softcover sets and 2 hardbacks, British/English, and that's enough!). Would you look into this title mystery? Do you think they put the movie title ('Harry Potter') only on the online shopping book covers because of the movies for people to buy them or they really changed from their beautiful original 'Harry Potter' children title on the newest print runs too?? Also I'm going to Maine for vacations, so hoping to get some used Thomas Taylor hardcovers/softcover for cheap prices! Maybe I'll be able to have a complete Thomas Taylor set for around 5$ maximum per book? Gonna practice my rusty spoken English! Hope you're well, hi again from francophone Québec province, Canada.
They are no doubt fab but nothing could ever beat the UK children's edition FOR ME
What is your opinion on Jurassic Park?
Thank you for this video ❤
I missed u its been forever.
Do you have a link to just the boxset? Mine was damaged when I got it, but I haven't been able to replace it because I can't seem to find the boxset on its own.
5:16 So cute 7:47 黃金甲 the Golden Armor? 8:30 避水珠 the Waterproof Gem? 9:38 哈利波特遊俠中國 Harry Potter Heroically Traversing China? 瓷娃娃 the Porcelain Doll 10:05 Harry Potter and the Big Funnel
3:38 Some dubious books would still appear in libraries, especially in china. It says on the cover 顛覆延伸版(Revolutionary Extended Version?) I feel like that one is a fanfic or a "homage", to the classic book kind of thing, very possibly unauthorized. So that's a fanfic of mixing harry potter or (a look alike) to hang out with classical chinese literature characters, the Monkey, and so forth...
Oh that’s interesting that these have appeared in libraries.
@@AllThePrettyBooks yeah but jk rowling and her legitimate chinese publisher must have somehow pressured the libraries and bookshops to get rid of those
The third book says Harry Potter Networks with a secondary title that says Young Hero. This looks more like a study guide than an actual novel. The next one is actually a comparative analysis between Harry Potter and Journey to the West, which is a classic Chinese novel featuring the monkey king as the protagonist. And none of those 2 books are titled Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets, they are all made up stories. One says Harry Potter and the golden armor, the next one says Harry Potter and the water-sheltering harbor. Harry Potter and the big filter should be translated as Harry Potter and the giant funnel, apparently the story features a funnel with magical powers 😂.
Oh I love Journey to West - I read that in undergrad and enjoyed it a lot.
Hahahaha a magic funnel!
Oh wow! I wanna something like this for the English version.
I’d love one as well!
I just love the last hardcovers they are so beautiful.
They really are 😀
Hi there Nice to see you again ❤
Enjoying coming back as well!
Cool book. I bought this edition today, i live in Germany and i can say, this is awesome book, thanks for great video
Oh so glad you enjoyed! Enjoy the book!!!
What about the 1st printing of a paper back cover? Also something to look out for on the first print there is a spelling error in the dedication, Ann should be spelt Anne which is later fixed.
Th 1st printing paperbacks of sorcerers stone are neat but they don’t have much monetary value. There are 2 different varieties of the 1st print sorcerers stone softcover - same for 2nd print.
I have this as well! It’s so pretty 😍 if there’s one thing Germans know well, it’s how to bind books!
Yeah it is! They always make such beautiful books!
We look forward to seeing you back on KZread
Looks so cool
Great information, thank you for going through all this.
Welcome!
Can you show those pocket-sized editions you mentioned?
The mass market ones?
@@AllThePrettyBooks We talked about it under your second-to-last uploaded video. You said Japan released the 7 books in seven one-volume tiny editions, and that you have those in your collection. You can read your own words for clarification there.
You're very nice and entertaining I enjoyed watching the video In my opinion jim kay is the best
Thanks! I love the Jim Kay books as well - they’re just spectacular.
Thank you for the information ☺️
Welcome!

Hi ! How are you informed of every new edition in all the languages ?
Hi! I collect Potter translations so I tend to pay attention to new editions 😃
Es hermoso el libro 😍
Talking to a person on instagram about purchasing this exact book, and I’m so nervous it’s a fake everything checks out in the pictures but seeing as all communications have been online I’m just not sure if it’s worth the risk 😅 was hoping doing research would help me feel more confident but I actually feel more uncertain now lol thanks for the video and information though!
I just bought the mary grandpre paperback set! The same box you showed. But the quality of the paper is so cheap compared to my old bloomsburys :(
Is it even possible to finish such a long book without breaking the spine? Also, I always thought of Stephen King's 'The Stand: Complete Edition' as the longest book that's still entertaining at 470k words. But technically this Harry Potter release, at over a million words, is even longer, and it's one book here. What other giant single-tome omnibus of classic books exists that I never heard of, I wonder... I'm very fascinated by abnormally sized books lol be they tiny or massive
The publisher definitely considered the spine when making this book! I think the spine will definitely survive a read through - multiple hard read throughs - I don’t know. But they’ve really thought though everything
Hi, I have a chamber of secret book club blue boards with the word sorcerer misspelled. Are misspellings worth anything?
Here's what I understand: If they can squeeze so many books into one book like this, why can't they make the individual books smaller? I dont mind small text, and I like books that take little space.
It’ll be interesting to see if they try to make pocket editions similar to those from Japan.
@@AllThePrettyBooks You mean the one where they spread them into like 19 volumes? No, I meant one volume for each book. Like what they did for Lord of the Rings, which has a "deluxe" pocket leatherbound edition with the exact size I'm hoping to see with Harry Potter. Single volume is also cool in its own way but too bad it's only German ( my favorite language, but I can't speak it 😢 )
Japan has smaller books that as one volume as well as the multi volume ones. That said the small, one volume ones are fairly thick.
@@AllThePrettyBooks Thanks for responding again. I can't seem to find these pocket books online. If you look up "Hari Potta to himitsu no heya amαzοn".. If that's what the pocket books look like, they're not very pocket-y. They look about the same size as my box set, which are not very small. I have the paperback 2014 bloomsbury children's edition
I’ve got them. I’m unsure if they’re on my website yet. They’re definitely smaller than the 2014 duddle books.
Stunning book ❤
Thanks!
Yay, welcome back!!! What a beautiful book!
Thanks and I agree!!
The lighting isnt coming up too weird on my mac. This cover is absolutely gorgeous. The gilding is so lovely.
Thanks! The lighting was most noticeable on my face - it made it all flat and quite roundly lol
Now that is a pretty book ❤
Thank you!!
who is edition
Awesome collection. At the age of 34 (this year) I finally watched the movies. Loved them. Getting the book set soon. Getting the paperback first and I have found two of the hardbacks at goodwill. Im gonna buy the hardback ones as I find them for only $2 each. Can’t wait to get the book set and eventually all of them in hardcover. Thanks for the video.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas 🎁❤
Is it Chinese Harry Potter He Did Look Him 7 Harry Potter Books In Color Book Make That’s What
"promo sm" 😈
I have a 1st edition with no dust jacket, it has the j.k. Rowling on the top of the spine but the book is black and red instead of purple and red.
I have the same thing with the jacket. Apparently it’s a book club version which I guess isn’t as valuable? Mines a first printing first edition from 1998 I’m trying to do more research but apparently it’s not rare. Dont quote me on any of this but that’s what I’ve discovered.
Everyone has a 1st edition. There can be a 1st edition, 55th printing. It's the PRINT run that matters.
I got all the Harry Potter books but libeareies editions
Where u been lost? n I hope things get much better 4 u n I miss ur videos n hope to see u upload more often
