Former Nicholson Cafe For Sale

by

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's StoneFor those who do not know the Nicholson Cafe is famous for being the place that J.K. Rowling wrote the first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Philospher’s/Sorcerer’s Stone. Do not worry if you did not remember the name of the cafe because even I think of myself as a big fan and I do not remember ever knowing the cafe’s actual name until reading about it now being up for sale. I would not say I am less of a fan for not knowing, but rather a fan that has not exhausted the amount of things I can learn about the books, their author, etc. What would be the fun of it if I already knew everything?

Anyways on to what this post is supposed to be really about. The Nicholson Cafe ceased to exist away ago, as the current restaurant that occupies the space is a Chinese restaurant called Buffet King. The owner of the restaurant is hoping to sell it to someone that will turn it into a literary museum dedicated to Rowling and Harry Potter. He first offered it to J.K. Rowling for £1 million, but she declined to purchase it.
