A silver charm bracelet inspired by Harry Potter and based on designs by J.K. Rowling comes up at Sotheby’s in London on December 10. The Lumos Maxima bracelet comprises 12 charms, 11 of which depict a significant image from the magical world of the Harry Potter series: Harry Potter’s bolt of lightning; glasses and broomstick; a Golden Snitch; Dark Mark skull set with amethyst eyes; Slytherin locket; a winged key; The Tales of Beedle the Bard book; the Sorting Hat; the Deathly Hallows symbol and a wand, which acts as the fastener. The twelfth charm, the butterfly, is the logo of Lumos, the children’s charity J.K. Rowling founded in 2005. Lumos aims to end the systematic institutionalisation of children, a harmful practice that affects 8 million children worldwide. It is estimated at £15,000-20,000 and will be auctioned in Sotheby’s English Literature, History, Children’s Books & Illustrations sale. The charms were hand crafted in the silver workshops of Edinburgh jeweller Hamilton & Inches.
