J.K. Rowling wants to build a replica of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in her back garden to commemorate the story that made her a millionaire.

Rowling wants to build two tree houses, which will be 40 feet off the ground complete with balconies and spiral staircases.

The buildings will be joined by a rope bridge and will include a top-secret tunnel underneath it.

The buildings are intended for the author’s two children David (9) and MacKenzie (7) and will be constructed using timber from sustainably managed sources.

The author hopes to begin construction when planning permission is approved for the castles.

The writer lives in Edinburgh with her husband Dr Neil Murray and her children.

J.K. Rowling is worth £560 million so we don’t think she’ll have much bother forking out for this garden accessory.
