Introduction

What may look like an ordinary café on the outside is actually something of a pilgrimage site for Harry Potter fans. Opened on Marshall Street in 1995, the cafe was the location where JK Rowling wrote much of the first two novels in the series. The café was also frequented by writers Sir Ian Rankin and Alexander McCall Smith.
