Harry Potter room in an Edinburgh hotel for 1000 pounds

25 Jul. 2008

The fans of the Joanne Rowling works can spend a night in the room of the Balmoral Hotel, where the British writer has written her last book about Harry Potter.

Joanne Rowling has finished her last Harry Potter book in January 2007. The final part of the story - "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" has been created in one of the room of a luxury hotel in Edinburgh. Since that time, this room is of a great demand among the fans of Harry Potter. The Balmoral Hotel management has decided to make a historical place out of the former Rowling room and to give it the number 552 in honor of Joanne. The cost of one night stay in the room makes up 1000 pounds per night.

The hotel staff tell that the room, where the final part of the book has been created is left untouched - including all the furniture, including the working table, where Joanne used to write. A curious decoration of the room became also a statuette with Joanne's autograph. They say also that this room became very popular among the tourists after the renaming and everybody comes to the hotel to stay a night exactly in this room.

The Harry Potter books by Joanne Rowling were sold with the total number of 375 million printed copies and the author has been named the most wealthy celebrity according to the Forbes magazine.
