Overview

How did JK Rowling craft such brilliant, memorable characters & how did she build such a spell-binding world? Why are Britain’s most beloved novels so dark & troubled? What is Rowling & Harry’s relationship to Edinburgh?

➽ Enter the dim, forbidden section of Madam Pince’s library, break open a stiff dusty book & CRACK! The Portkey will transport you to Edinburgh, where a red-robed wizard will meet you for a winding journey through their cobbled fairy-tale Old Town, festooned with glittering stone palaces & mushroomed with soaring wizard towers; you'll shine a light into JK’s gilded brain.

➽ Long private tours curtail expensive quarantines & banish hassle. 5¼ hours gives us the freedom to cover more ground, more Potter inspirations & enter Rowling’s mindsets in rich detail. If you care about Harry Potter I’d love to show you around.

① Ticket reserves a tour for ≤ 5 Potterheads & squibs.
Combine this tour with a shop on Edinburgh’s Diagon & dinner in Nicolsons & it’s a rich day ϟ
