    Ich habe diese Tour mit meiner Tochter unternommen. Mein Vorwissen zu Harry Potter beschränkt sich auf die Filme, aber dafür war meine Tochter ja mit dabei :-). Carlos war ein toller Guide und wir hatten angeregte Unterhaltungen. Auf der Tour bekommt man - aus meiner Sicht - alle relevanten Informationen zu Harry Potter und seiner Erfinderin. Auch rund um die Stadt gab´s reichlich Informationen und gute Tips was man noch machen könnte
