Harry Potter artwork up for auction

THE original artwork for first copies of JK Rowling's Harry Potter series is set to go under the hammer in the US.

British artist Cliff Wright produced the ink and water colour illustrations, which were used for the covers of the 1998 classic Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets and the follow up the Prisoner of Azkaban, released the following year.

The Chamber of Secrets' illustration measures 57cm by 48.25cm and has a starting guide price of $US20,000 ($A21,956).

It shows Harry and Ron Weasley in the flying Ford Anglia, with the wizard's owl Hedwig in the back seat.

The second sketch shows Harry and Hermione on Buckbeak the mythical Hippogriff, with bids starting at $US12,500 ($A13,722) for the 14cm by 12.7cm artwork.

The pieces will be auctioned by Nate D. Sanders in Los Angeles on Thursday.

JK Rowling wrote a series of seven wizarding novels that were reproduced around the world and led to a hugely successful series of films.
