This is no longer an antique bookstore. I read another person's review and went to confirm for myself. It's now a shop that sells Harry Potter-inspired stuff and general souvenir products. There were a handful of antique books placed around the shop for decoration, but it's definitely not the same shop.

4/ 5

Very charming little bookstore with antique and vintage books from mostly Scotland. It was a little crowded on the day we popped in. I was hoping to find an older Scottish cookbook but I didn't see any (I didn't ask for assistance, either, so perhaps they did have some.) They also have really nice old prints from books and magazines, fashion, botanicals, and maps that are matted and ready to frame, if you love collecting old prints. Very reasonable prices as well.

Cute little spot which also displays this outside! Forced me to open up set pictures of Diagon Alley from the movies and do a little compare and contrast! Absolutely marvelous!
