A suburban house that starred onscreen as Harry Potter's childhood home is on the market - complete with a cupboard under the stairs.
Fans of the boy wizard will recognise 12 Picket Post Close as 4 Privet Drive, home of Harry's dastardly aunt and uncle, the Dursleys.
The couple grudgingly took Harry in after his parents were murdered and made him sleep in a cupboard under the stairs.
The house in Bracknell, 50km west of London, was a location featured in the 2001 film Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
A studio set of the house was built for later instalments of the eight-film series.

Real estate agency Chancellors says the three-bedroom house ``has recently undergone complete renovation to an extremely high standard.'' It's listed at a price of Stg475,000 ($A816,000.)
Real estate agent Paul Bosanko said ``the original plan was to take this property to market without using any reference to Harry Potter.''
But since news of the connection got out, interest has shot up, ``and that may or may not influence the final price that we achieve at this property,'' Bosanko said.
Neighbour Karen Field said that the house still attracts Potter fans a decade-and-a-half after the film crews left.
When the movie first came out, ``there were tour buses, literally tour buses coming down the road,'' Field said.
``It's a lot quieter now,'' she said. ``School holidays, you still get people coming along.''
