What to expect

JK Rowling is a moderately influential woman who's sold a few books...on this tour you'll dive deep into her history. She learned to use failure as a springboard, was inspired, stayed committed and conquered the world and on this tour you'll learn how to do it yourself. Discover the sights that inspired her and the cafes which fueled her. Experience how her adopted daughter, Edina (Edinburgh) once more left footprints upon the world as well as witnessing the 'Potteresque contours' of Harry's heady new world made real and visiting the Museum of Scotland and the monks' herb garden.

Prepare to learn the entire genesis of Harry Potter, from lightning striking on a Manchester train to becoming a pillar of British culture and shaping a generation. Chosen by novelists and a US university studying Harry Potter, this is a writer's tour, which teaches you to convert cliche to originality, gives you a strategy to overcome writer's block, shows you illustrations of how to transmute misfortune into a story beating with heart and demonstrates how to use failure like a piston.
