Included

Resurrection stone. To revive the magic

4 PLUS HOURS of Edinburgh’s world heritage site, the Hogwartian half, the Old Town

Spoilers, it explores JK’s themes so is terrible for whetting appetites

Good to know

Public transportation options are available nearby

Many children have enjoyed the tour, however it’s based on Rowling’s rags to riches story & so is dark. The more difficulties a person has overcome, the more you can learn from them. This tour has darker stories from Rowling’s instructive biography, which I hope will inspire those ready to achieve more

The tour is also based on the books, the books have some adult themes which I give credit too, because 'they're just children's books' annoys me. People who have just seen the movies may not be aware of these darker themes

5 km+ of up and down walking through Edinburgh’s hilly old town

4¼ HOURS is a long time so BREAKFAST. Think everybody’s favourite Gameskeeper: if your feet haven’t swollen to baby Dolphins - keep shovelling!

Not recommended for people requiring mobility aids, e.g. a stick, 6km of hilly walking is demanding. Contact me for a private 2½ hour broom or book my 5½ hour “The Genius of Harry Potter” if you’re a pedagog
