In Search of Harry Potter
I am very excited to let you all know that my book In Search of Harry Potter is finally published after some delays with page layouts and finalising the cover with Rowling's lawyers. I've been told that it's turning up in shops in London, and so some of you owe me some photos (you know who you are). From what I’ve been told, it could be in the stores in the US in just a few weeks. In the meantime, it’s available from Amazon.

I’ve had quite a few questions about the book, so I’ve put together a page about it which I hope will be helpful. I've tried to give some idea of what the book is about. I'm looking into publishing an excerpt as well, but I have to clear that with the publicity people at Methuen. 

The book is hardcover and illustrated with colour photographs and maps (photos by me, cover and maps by Camilla Engelby). It's a first-person account of my exploration of Britain looking for places which would evoke the magic and excitement of places in the Harry Potter books. How close could I come to the Wizarding world? Surprisingly close. Along the way, I discovered some wonderful local lore, ghost stories, legends, unusual customs and the like, and I've included a lot of that in the book as well.
