LONDON -- By now you've probably heard that the house used to depict 4 Privet Drive in the Harry Potter film series is up for sale.

However, the online advert for this piece of magical history is decidedly drab -- amenities like "Living Room With Door To Garden" and "New Driveway -- Garage With New Door" hardly do justice to the place of Harry Potter's upbringing.

There are at least 10 of the countless brilliant features that were inexplicably not included in the listing for the childhood home of The Boy Who Lived and could surely only improve the market value of No. 4 Privet Drive.
