As per the outlet, the 'Harry Potter' specs are dubbed "NHS style" after the UK's National Health Service. They were bought as a prop for 114 British pounds before becoming a worldwide icon. They are from the renowned customer Simor Murray, who has worked on such franchises as 'Mission Impossible,' 'James Bond' and 'Teriminator'.
Meanwhile, this year marked 25 years since the iconic book series 'Harry Potter' hit the shelves. The first book of the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, was published in 1997. Published by Bloomsbury Publishing, the series went on to become one of the most legendary series of all time.
Last month, to commemorate 25 years of this magical series, Royal Mint also introduced a special set of 50p Harry Potter coins. The collection has four coins which are illustrated by Jim Kay, who has also illustrated the Harry Potter series. The coins feature not just Harry Potter, but also Albus Dumbledore, the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the Hogwarts Express.
