J.K. Rowling’s Edinburgh home for sale

The house J.K. Rowling called home while writing several Harry Potter books is for sale- if you can cough up the cash, according to The Washington Post.

J.K. Rowling’s former home can be yours — if you can conjure up 2.25 million pounds ($3.7 million).

The eight-bedroom Victorian house in Edinburgh belonging to the Harry Potter author is listed for sale on the website of real estate agents Rettie.

It’s described as “an exceptional detached family house standing within a large yet discreet landscaped and walled garden” in one of the city’s most exclusive areas.

Who knows- maybe some Potter magic will rub off on the house’s next owner!
