| | |  Harry Potter hog up for sale
A statue of a hog used in Chamber of Secrets is being sold by its owner, a man called David Pasco who runs Wareham's antiques furniture shop in Kent, England. The price tag for the item is £5,000. The boar was featured on one of the staircases in Hogwarts.  Quote:
Hog owner David Pasco of Canterbury Road said: "I think it's brilliant. I love people climbing on it and having their photo taken.
"It is all good fun and none have done any damage."
Although he admitted: "Someone did steal the tusks once but I'm having another set made."
Quote:
Mr Pasco said: "If anyone buys it I have my eye on a life-sized statue of a silverback gorilla to replace it."

Almost anything Harry Potter will go up in value, especially since the movie series is closing down. If anyone buys it, good luck!

5,000 isn't much, I would of thought it'd sell for more.

 I thought they meant a real pig ... *sighs* oh well. A piece of HP Movie history isn't so bad, I suppose.

LMAO! Haha!  This is so random and funny. But wow, if he's only selling it for 5,000 then how much did he get it for? Or did he make it? Or was the hog already in his store and then he lent it to the producers to add to the movie or something?
Anyway, this is pretty amusing. I wonder how long it'll take until someone buys it.

I opened this thread thinking, 'Well Harley Davidson does it again...'.
Cool statue though. I hope whoever purchases it takes good care of it. Piece of film and cultural history.

Wow, not that bad a price tag!
Not that I have anything near that amount of money but still
It would look great sitting in the living room... I'm sure.
