eBay revealed that LEGO became the UK’s third most sought after item of last year just behind iPhones and Fidget Spinners, with more than 4.4 million total searches on the site and a big spike in November, with five searches every second.
Meanwhile, The Boy Who Lived also remains a firm favourite on the online marketplace with nearly 200,000 Harry Potter related items sold from May to July this year – two every minute.
