It’s been nearly 20 years since Harry Potter stepped out of 4 Privet Drive, adventuring off to hunt Horcruxes and eventually kill Tom Marvolo Riddle (aka Lord Voldemort). Now, the home—or, at least, the one that played 4 Privet Drive in the blockbuster movie adaptations—is up for sale.
If you have $619,425 (or GBP475,000), you, too, can live in the cupboard under the stairs, or any other room in the house. Now that the Dursleys are out, Dudley can’t throw a hissy fit about you using his second bedroom and you won’t have to worry about Aunt Marge breaking a window on her way floating out into the night.
The address of the actual home is 12 Picket Post Close in Martins Heron, Bracknell—all real words, we promise. Filming only took place at the home for the first movie, after which a set was built to imitate it.
For nearly half a million pounds you can store your pesky magical nephew under the stairs and bask in the glory of your protective magical enchantments.
