After some extensive renovations since we first saw it on the big screen in 2001, the house that was used to depict the home of the determinedly unpleasant Dursley family is now on the market for a mere £475,000 ($619,425).

In the films, the home of Harry's maternal 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.

Filming at the house only took place for the first movie in the series, after which a Privet Drive set was built to depict Harry's childhood home in the films.

The house is being sold by Chancellors estate agency, and strangely the online advert reveals nothing about the home's place in movie-making history. Amenities such as "Good Access to M3/M4 and A329" are listed as enticements, which seem a bittrivial when "Protected from the Dark Lord by Powerful Enchantments" should be a crowning feature.

Anyway, if you have half a million pounds floating around somewhere, the house could be yours. We hear it has a relatively spacious cupboard under the stairs -- perfect for storing coats and/or magically inclined children.
