Harry Potter - For sale: 4 Privet Drive

4 Privet Drive was put on the market in June 2003.

Could it be that Vernon and Petunia Dursley got fed up want Harry - or his friends - or Dobby doing nasty things with their cakes or their bedroom window?

No. Another owner called Sandra Smith decided that she did want with all the kids going up to her house and peering in through the front window? Number 12, Picket Post Close, Bracknell is on the market.

Ms Smith returned home from work as a secretary in 2000 to discover that Warner Brothers had chosen her house as the perfect setting for No 4 Privet Drive, Little Whingeing, Surrey.

If you would like to buy the house all you need is about £250,000 - about $400,000.

It features as Lot 46a in FPD Savills’ buy-to-let auction at the Millennium Hotel, Grosvenor Square, on 22nd July. Paul Mooney, one of the auctioneers, said: "I would like to think we will get genuine buyers, as well as a few rubber-neckers. You won’t get any more rent for it, but there could be lucrative spin-offs." Warner Brothers might be back.
