Remember that Hogwarts letter for auction? It sold for a FORTUNE

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. 

Clearly, someone else feels the same way, as Harry's Hogwarts letter from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, was up for auction and sold for an absolute fortune. 

'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.

While the letter prop was originally estimated to go for up to €5,000, the final bid was actually more in line with the cost of a Muggle education. 

The letter sold at the auction for a whopping £30,000, or €33,807. Casual.

That's a Bachelors degree and a Masters degree, but we guess it's worth it for a wizarding education.

 The Prop Store Auction was also selling a number of other HP items, including Ron Weasley's iconic Howler sent to him by Mrs Weasley in the second film. 

The lot closed with a bid of £7,500, or €8453. 

If you are a Harry Potter mega fan with the cash to spare, we're sure it's worth it to own your own piece of Hogwarts history.
