A Hogwarts uniform worn by Daniel Radcliffe in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets has sold for nearly £80,000 despite being covered in MUD.
The dark grey, polyester-blend Gryffindor hooded cloak plus his trademark circular glasses went under the hammer.
The lot also included a white cotton button down shirt, necktie, wool, V-neck sweater, grey trousers and black leather suede shoes.
As well as being caked in dirt, the costume has stage blood all over it.

But a Harry Potter superfan snapped up the distressed costume for £79,100 ($100,000) at the Propstore Auction.
It had been tipped to sell for as little as £59,000 ($75,000).
It was one of over 500 rare and iconic film and TV props and costumes that were sold.
The listing reads: “This lot exhibits intentional distressing throughout, such as mud on the cloak, sweater, and pants, and stage blood applied to the shirt around the collar and cuffs.”
The movie was the second in the schoolboy wizard epics and was released in 2002.
