The book will be sold alongside franchise star Daniel Radcliffe's "Hero Wand" from the 2001 film, which is estimated to go for up to STG30,000 ($A49,400).

Over 1500 lots will be sold during the auction, due to take place from November 3-6, with the total value estimated in excess of STG11 million ($A18.1 million).
Among the most highly valued items include actor Christopher Reeve's complete costume from the Superman franchise (from 1978-1987), which is estimated at between STG250,000 ($A412,000) and STG500,000 ($A824,000).
The live auction will be held at Bafta 195 Piccadilly, in central London, as well as online or via telephone for global bidding.
Props from the James Bond, Marvel and DC franchises will also be available, as will items from other classic films including the Shawshank Redemption and Gladiator.
