Meg Krampf, owner of Etsy shop PeskyCat Papercraft, just did something amazing that would benefit Potterheads and other muggles alike. Krampf produced a full set of custom "Harry Potter" hardcover books which she auctioned off on eBay for the purpose of donating to charity.

Kampf clarifies that the full set was legally purchased on Amazon and that she employed the help of a local print shop to remove the covers. The new end pages were custom-made by VisualDestini and it took Krampf months before she was able to finish with the entire set.

The final product is a set of seven sleek, black leather hardcover books with a decorative horcrux in front which also serves as a bookmark. All the horcruxes are attached using a magnet so it sticks out a little in front. Don't worry, though, because they don't have actual soul portions in them.

"When they're not in use, they serve as a decorative focal point to the covers," Krampf wrote.

She also added the magic wands on the spine of the books due to a special request and, while she was hesitant to add them at first, it turned out pretty nice. So, in actual order, the wand and horcrux combinations are: Hermione's wand and Harry's lightning bolt scar, Harry's wand and Tom Riddle's Diary, Lord Voldemort's wand and the Salazar Slytherin's locket, Hermione's wand and Helga Hufflepuff's cup, Harry's wand and Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem, Lord Voldemort's wand and Marvolo Gaunt's ring, and the Elder Wand and Nagini.

The auction closed on Feb. 15 and sold off for $5,100, which will go to the charitable institution of the winning bidder's choice. Krampf said she plans to make another set.

"I'm totally blown away by all of the feedback from the Harry Potter books, and I'm working on a way to increase the availability of this item in order to satisfy at least part of the demand," she wrote on her shop's page.

Potterheads might have to wait a while for a new set to come out, though, because a muggle site learned that Krampf is currently busy custom-designing a set of "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hunger Games" books.

A word of advice, though: since these custom-made books hold horcruxes, you can't summon them with "Accio!" Interested witches and wizards will have to visit Gringotts and withdraw a hefty amount of galleons for them.
