A life less narrow, the Genius of Harry Potter. A 5¾ hour private tour, ≥ £120 per group

5¾ hours about JK Rowling. It's suitable for people who really care about Harry Potter, perhaps visits motivated by a love for Harry's world and an interest in how his world was woven. 2023 the price for four is £120.

2023 the price for four is £120.

It's my 8-hour Potter Cornucopia™ but without lunch and with fewer stops. Sandwiches and baguettes can be purchased halfway around, inside the National Museum, for eating on the broom.


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.


➽ 5¾ 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.

Combine this tour with a shop on Edinburgh’s ‘Diagon’ & gallons & gallons of Butterbeer in the Elephant House Cafe & it’s a rich day. ʜɪᴄ ϟ
