“Great guide :-)”

Colin is a great guide, making the atmosphere of a tour just right - not too over-excited, not boring. For the content, I expected a bit more of this tour. I felt not that much into the Harry Potter plot during the tour and felt more into Harry Potter movie making. Also, it would be nice to make discernment about Harry Potter, which is good story put into obviously fictional "magical" world and real occultism and not mix these two together, since real occultism is terribly harmful thing to play with. This was the only Colin's error when talking about one occult literature shop in "Diagonal Alley".
