Harry Potter Challenge
So i’ve set myself a challenge: To buy all 7 of the Harry Potter books in hard cover for under $70.00 AUD.
Which basically means I have to hunt them down from second hand shops, which is good fun.
I just bought the first one (the philosophers stone) for $8.50 the other day, so I’m off and racing. $61.50 left in the budget.
If you see some, let me know.
Here’s the list of Harry Potter books in order:
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

A noble challege, if you ask me. Try op-shops. The last few times I’ve been into op-shops (yes in Sydney) there has been HP books.

I’ve been doing the op-shop rounds but apparently they go out as quick as they come in… I’m up for the challenge though!

I got a 2nd hand HP and the chamber of secrets as a Christmas present, therefore it’s free!
