A library in the UK could try to reclaim a Harry Potter book it once owned after it was resold at auction for £42,500.

Portsmouth City Library was home to a first edition Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone book before it ended up in the hands of a seller in California, the BBC reported.

The library service confirmed the book went missing 23 years ago – a month after it was published for the first time – and the book also contained a stamp from August 1997.
