Whitson told the Scotsman newspaper of the property:

"This was an iconic house in Edinburgh; To be honest, it was a refreshing change to the normal house."

He added: "There was a bit of magic involved, which was quite fun to deal with."

According to the BBC, Rowling purchased the upstairs section of the home in 1999 for $681,000, shortly after the release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and later bought the lower half of the mansion.
