This auction in NYC is selling the GREATEST Harry Potter merch ever

While the story goes that JK Rowling wrote her world-renowned Harry Potter series in a variety of cafes around Scotland, the truth of the matter is that she did most of the work in the Edinburgh home she shared with her baby daughter Jessica.

While she did indeed frequent coffee shops during her times as an aspiring writer, both Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets were written with the help of a typewriter and a chair which the author received for free when she was a young single mum living in subsidised housing.

And this week that 1930s-inspired chair is being sold at auction in New York City, with bids having already reached a staggering €$65,000!

According to Sky News, the world-famous author accompanied the chair with a note read: "This was the comfiest one, which is why it ended up stationed permanently in front of my typewriter, supporting me while I typed. My nostalgic side is quite sad to see it go, but my back isn't."

Described as "a small piece of history connected to the mythology of the Wizarding World and one of the most beloved characters in children's literature", this chair is about to make some collector or uber-fan very, very happy.

The winning bid is due to be announced tomorrow!
