J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter chair

The wooden chair that J.K. Rowling used to write the first two Harry Potter novels sold for a cool $394,000 in New York back in April 2016! This isn’t just any old chair—it’s hand-painted by Rowling herself with lines like, "O you may not find me pretty, but don't judge on what you see," straight from the Sorting Hat. It also says, "I wrote Harry Potter while sitting on this chair," along with "Gryffindor," her signature, and some lightning bolts. Rowling said she was a bit sad to see it go, but joked that her back wasn’t missing it at all!
