Marks and Spencer releases Harry Potter Easter egg that is 'every fan's dream'

Marks and Spencer have released a Harry Potter Easter egg ahead of the big day next month, and fans have called it "amazing" and a "must have".

The supermarket chain has begun selling a Harry Potter Golden Egg Tin which comes complete with a white chocolate egg inside.

Costing £15, the tin has a "hand finished shimmer" that is made to look like genuine gold.

One savvy M&S shopper who spotted the product in her local store was quick to share the news on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, writing: "New in M&S!! Harry Potter Golden Egg".

Before long, the post had attracted more than 1,300 likes and over 4,500 comments from fellow consumers sharing their thoughts.

"Oooooooh this is amazing," one fan wrote.

"If you love me as much as you say you do then this will be waiting for me Easter Sunday morning," wrote a second after tagging another user.

"I wouldn't want to eat it," a seventh shared.

However, not all members of the group were a fan of the product — especially its price.

One complained: "We saw them today but wayyyy overpriced when you see it".

"Now to decide if I like my little sister enough to spend £15 on an egg," a second joked.
