It has a lot of cute stuff, but when I was in, it was packed so could barely move, hopefully will be better when not so packed.

Small overcrowded overpriced and half the shop filled up with the usual Edinburgh tourist shite like mugs tea towels etc. Mrs is a massive potter fan and she wasn't impressed at all

I think I read somewhere it was Coburn street but don't quote me on that, my brain just registered Victoria street.

If you are going to fly over, I saw in the fringe book that there is a free potter walking tour. I think it is showing some of the places that influenced the books.

Proper research you can do it yourself without paying for a tour, I took my son to Greyfriars kirkyard recently and his face when he saw Tom Riddles grave was a picture

Yes, it is but they are opening another shop. Not sure if it's opened yet as they mainly speak about the one in Victoria street. Have a wee look on Google

Ones advertised I've seen it's not free as I say research and you can do it yourself.

Next on my Harry Potter list is a trip on the train that goes up over the viaduct to "hogwarts"

I was in it on Tuesday when I was in Edinburgh for the Fringe. Great wee shop and fits in well with the other shops in the street.

I'm sure it's Coburn St. The big hill that leads to the Royal Mile?

Didn't buy anything as we were going to a few shows.

Guilty as charged on the geek front!

PS anyone know where I can get a batman pencil case but just black with the yellow logo? Tried everywhere

Went in both last week with my daughter. Tenuous link to Harry Potter if ever there was one. Certainly not what it claims to be.

Someone been busy with the sublimation printer and heat press and opened a shop.

Victoria st one had a massive queue as well.

Disappointed.

Yeah! Tried the link last week but was not working.

Not read feedback yet on the shops!

They are on mega launch mode at the moment so they will pull the invisibility cloak over the negative comments for a bit am sure

I went to the the one on Victoria St last week. Queued 15mins to get in. Tiny shop of over-priced tat. I'm not a fan but went with others who are and they were very disappointed.
