Harry Potter fans have a chance to move into the young wizard’s childhood home.
We first saw the house on the big screen in 2001 with, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, where Harry spent many unhappy years with his Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia Dursley and their son, Dudley.
The house is famous for being the place where Harry was forced to live in the cupboard under the stairs by his aunt and uncle.
In the films, the home of Harry’s family is famously located at 4 Privet Drive, Little Whingeing, Surrey, but in real life, the house can be found at 12 Picket Post Close in Martins Heron, Bracknell.

Now the house has been put up for sale by Chancellors estate agency, complete with enclosed backyard, three bedrooms and of course, a cupboard under the stairs. The cost is £475,000 (around $814,947.40 CAD).
The online advertisement doesn’t reveal the movie-making history of the home.
The ad notes that there have been “many improvements throughout,” and the entire home has been completely renovated.
Fans of the Harry Potter series took to Twitter to share their reactions of the house going up for sale.
