Original Harry Potter wand and glasses up for auction and could be yours - for a wizardly sum

Harry Potter fans will be clamouring to get their hands on the famed wizard's personal wand and glasses from the film franchise when they've gone up for auction.

But only those who have around £70,000 spare change for both of the magical objects could be in with a chance to buy them.

It's the first time ever the famous props made for Daniel Radcliffe during production on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 & 2 (2010-2011) direct from Warner Bros. archive will go under the hammer in an upcoming Los Angeles auction.

The wand and eyeglasses are valued at $30,000 – 50,000 each (£21,500 – 35,900) and have been made available through donation from Warner Bros. archive complete with original Certificates of Authenticity from Warner Bros.
