It is surprising the reach that some franchises reach over the years, because there are simply brands that manage to be long-lived and stay with long-time fans, as well as generate new ones, and among them we clearly have Harry Potter, They continue to release many products from the same saga. Speaking precisely about the saga, a relic was recently sold that many would dream of decorating their living room in a double-framed painting.
Through an auction, the first drawing that the saga has had in its history was put up for sale, and it is the final version of the cover of The Philosopher’s Stone, which was clearly printed in a lithograph from which copies were made to begin copying in the copies of the book. This was made by the artist Thomas Taylorand it went to a lucky buyer and potential franchise fan, who gave $1.77 million for it, much more than the estimated price of $6,000.
