You can now buy 4 Privet Drive AKA the house that Harry Potter grew up in

Paul Moore

The cupboard under the stairs is also included.

A house in Picket Post Close, Martins Heron – better known as the fictional 4 Privet Drive from the Harry Potter films – is up for sale in Bracknell, near Reading.

Before you give Chancellors estate agents a call to put in your bid, take heed of these three suggestions. 1) Rob the entire vault of Gringotts Wizarding Bank. 2) Use Polyjuice Potion to take the form of an estate agent. 3) If the bidding gets competitive, it’s perfectly acceptable to use the Cruciatus Curse on other prospective buyers.

Why are we recommending these things? Well, let’s just say that it’s a good thing that Harry Potter was left with all that gold because if he wanted to buy the property, it would cost him almost €550,000.

According to the listing, the three-bedroom detached home is: “situated in a quiet cul-de-sac location, this detached property has recently undergone complete renovation to an extremely high standard.”

Have they managed to fix those faulty streetlights or solved that owl infestation problem?
