Original Harry Potter movie props go up for auction including Platform 9 ¾ sign

A series of original props, costumes and collectables from the Harry Potter franchise will go under the hammer in LA this month.

The collection includes original items used in the Harry Potter films, including the Platform 9 ¾ sign and Daniel Radcliffe’s iconic round glasses.

Propstore’s highly anticipated Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction will take place from 4th to 6th September, featuring a spellbinding collection of treasured artefacts from the Harry Potter films.

This enchanting collection is part of a catalogue featuring more than 1,000 rare and extraordinary props, costumes, and collectables from decades of film and television history, with the auction expected to achieve an estimated total of $10 million.

Two of the most eye-catching highlights from this collection originate from the 2004 film "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban."

First is Harry Potter's (Daniel Radcliffe) Marauder’s Map Scene Special Effects Light-Up Hero Wand, explicitly created for the scene in which Harry illuminates the Marauder’s Map while sneaking through the dark corridors of Hogwarts. This rare prop is estimated to carry a pre-sale value of $30,000 to $60,000.

Also from the same film is Harry Potter’s Knight Bus and Leaky Cauldron ensemble, worn during the sequence where he flees the Dursleys after accidentally inflating Aunt Marge. The costume is estimated to fetch between $20,000 and $40,000.

One of the most instantly recognisable props from the Wizarding World is Harry Potter’s Glasses from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001). Worn by Daniel Radcliffe throughout the film, the signature round spectacles are expected to sell for between $30,000-$60,000.

From the broader Harry Potter franchise comes another standout, the Platform 9¾ sign. A symbol of the gateway between the Muggle and magical worlds, this sign from King’s Cross Station, where the Hogwarts Express departs, has a pre-sale estimate of $20,000-$40,000.

What time will the auction start, UK time?

The three-day Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction will begin at 6pm BST each day.

The first day of the auction features in-room bidding open to the public at The Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles on 4 September 2025; subsequent days will be online bidding only. Global online, absentee, and telephone bids will be accepted throughout the event.
