The leather-bound tome was a guide to everything Harry needed for his life at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
It was one of the prized lots in a charity auction organised by Tatler magazine.
Tatler sent 24 miniature books to celebrities from the worlds of arts, sport and politics and asked them to fill the pages with whatever they liked.
The auction, held last night at Sotheby's in London, raised a total of £125,000 for the 999 Club, a homeless charity in Deptford, south London.
