If you have a million dollars or so hanging around and you're ready to take your Harry Potter fandom to the next level, the De Vere House, which was introduced as the home where Harry's parents were killed by Voldemort in Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows Part One, is now on the market for £995,000 (or just under $1.3 million). Presumably Lily and James's ghosts are not included in the purchase price, but they might pop up anyway. Ghosts are like that, after all!

In the Harry Potter books and films, the Potters' home is located in Godric's Hollow, a small village home to several notable wizarding families, including Albus Dumbledore's. In real life, however, the six-bedroom house is actually located in Lavenham, a village in Suffolk, England. (Also it's not ruined IRL like it is in the wizarding world after that big bad Voldemort attack.)

The De Vere house.

According to The East Anglian Daily Times, Danielle Radcliffe, Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) never actually filmed in Lavenham for the graveyard scene in Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows Part One where Harry finds the crumbled remains of his childhood home. The actors filmed in a studio, and a green screen was used to turn their backdrop into the Suffolk village. Flashback scenes with Lily throwing herself in front of a baby Harry to protect him from Voldemort, as well as the heartrending moments where Snape arrives too late to save her, were also filmed elsewhere.

According to the house's listing, the De Vere family, the home's owners from the 14th to the 17th centuries and its namesake, were at the time the richest family in the country after the monarch.

The Potter's family money must've been preeeetty hefty as well (and remember, Harry's vault at Gringotts was pretty full), because, aside from the six bedrooms, the listing says the de Vere home has several entertaining spaces including a reception hall, drawing room, sitting room, dining room and two kitchens. Behind the property, there is a lush garden, an outdoor dining terrace, an old stable, garden stores, and kitchen garden (with a "wonderful collection of chickens"!!). Click through to the listing at British realtor Carter Jonas for all the real estate porn.

Not sure anyone notified the sellers, but a large portion of hardcore Harry Potter fans are millennials who, according to millionaires, are too busy buying avocado toast to think about homes, so we'll see how soon this goes off the market.
