A chair that author JK Rowling sat on while writing the first two Harry Potter books has sold at a New York auction for nearly $400,000 (£283,000).
Ms Rowling originally auctioned the chair to benefit her charity in 2002.
She hand-painted the chair, which auctioneer James Gannon said made the piece so valuable.
It features the phrases: "O, you may not find me pretty but don't judge on what you see" and "I wrote Harry Potter while sitting on this chair".
