| | |  Edinburgh patron meets J.K. Rowling at famed cafe
A young fan, Dulcie Horn, was visiting Edinburgh, Scotland recently, during which time she took a trip to the famous cafe where J.K. Rowling wrote the Harry Potter books.
Little did she know that she would end up meeting Jo there that day: Quote:
"I was hoping to visit the cafe where JK Rowling wrote Harry Potter and we decided to stop for lunch on the way.
"We moved to sit on the sofas when they became free and JK Rowling came in and sat down where I had just been sitting.
"My godmother realised who she was — so when we finished, we asked if I could have my picture taken with her and she agreed. She was lovely.
"She was eating carrot cake and said I had a lovely name.
"I am gutted that I didn't get her autograph but I was really star-struck — ridiculously so — I couldn't speak.
"It was a complete coincidence that I bumped into her and it was an amazing experience."
A photo of Dulcie with Jo at the cafe can be seen below or here in our galleries.  | |

OMG. No way. That little cafe... I pass it every day when I walk up to the National Library, or go to the pub that my mates and I go to all the time, "Frankensteins" which is literally about a minute down from there.
I really should go into some time, as I must of passed it about 50 times, and I've only ever looked in.
I'm jealous, but congrats to her.

Wow! I'm so jealous! I wish I lived somewhere near there so I could just pop in every day and see if she came. I bet they get a lot of business nowadays. Honestly, I'm surprised J. K. Rowling still goes there. I would think she'd be swamped with fans. Cool!

Congrats to Dulcie (what a "sweet" name) - what a lifetime experience! In my next life, I will visit Scotland... Great Britain for that matter. I need to save up.

That's so cool. Wish things like that would happen to me.
It's a shame she didn't get an autograph but she has the picture and the memory.

I must admit that when I first ready it on Leaky I didn't really believe it.
