So, if you're a fan of Harry Potter you'll know that London is pretty much as close to Hogwarts as you're going to get.

Take a tour around the studio, visit platform 9¾ or even recreate that famous snake scene in London Zoo, there's countless magical spots around the city.  

Well, that list just got a little longer, because House of Minalima, an exhibition and shop is showcasing all things Harry Potter.

Located in London's Soho, the mini museum is home to four floors of 'distinctive' designs, including graphic art from the Harry Potter film series, as well as art from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

On floors one and two, visitors can browse through artwork, including the Marauder's Map, The Daily Prophet newspapers, as well as authentic film props, such as the all important Hogwarts letter.

On floor three, visitors will travel back in time to 1920's New York, where they can browse through, and purchase, limited edition reproduced prints.

The ground floor houses a shop selling everything from books and stationary to replica props.

So, if you fancy keeping up to date with the world of witchcraft and wizardy, just pick up a copy of The Daily Prophet for the commute home. 

House of MinaLima is open every single day from 12:00pm – 7:00pm, so be sure to stop by the next time you're in London.

But, for those of you not planning a trip to the English capital anytime soon, don't worry, because everything is available to order online.

And yes, that does mean you can get your very own Hogwarts letter delivered to your door.

Okay, so it may be almost 20 years (stop, we know) since the first Harry Potter book was published, but we're still desperately clinging onto hope that our Hogwarts letter got lost in the post. 

It's safe to say that the books bewitched the minds and ensnared the senses of millions of readers, and wizarding world rituals, like getting a Hogwarts acceptance letter, are dear to our hearts. 

By the time the HP film series came out, translating years of our imaginary wizarding world into bold cinematic visuals, we were already hooked. 

So imagine our delight when we heard that Harry's very own Hogwarts letter, as in the actual film prop, was going up for auction.

'The hero envelope features a real red-wax Hogwarts seal, unlike the many entirely printed versions that were also used in the scene,' reads the description.

'The envelope remains sealed with a letter seemingly contained within.'

'The envelope is in excellent condition; the wax seal has cracked and two small fragments are missing, but the Hogwarts crest is still clearly identifiable.'

The prop is expected to fetch between £3,000 – £5,000 at auction. 

If you were more of a Weasley fan, then you're also in luck.

Other props from the films that will be up for auction include Ron Weasley's iconic Howler. 

'Ronald Weasley! How dare you steal that car…' still gives us shivers.
