Harry Potter is a big name in the world of fantasy. Not just kids but adults too long to live in the magical world of wizards and witches. Taking a similar line, grandparents named Dave and Ruby Dunlop decided to bring the world in their backyard.

The couple is blessed to have Logan as their granddaughter. Their daughter and her partner are big Potterheads. So when it came to gift a big playhouse to Logan, the grandparents went ahead to pick Harry Potter world. They shared their idea with their daughter. They were thrilled to know about that. But they could not help the elder couple with their plans. They had no idea: how to design a building.

So the grandparents had to look around to get someone who had the mastery in that field. Then they across the name of Tyson Leavitt-the founder of Charmed Playhouse. He designed a Disney-theme princess castles with Rapunzel’s tower, Captain-Hook’s pirate ship in Netherland and a Hobbit Hole. After getting satisfied with his report card, they went ahead to assign him the task. Dave and Ruby gave him the full liberty to carry on his in his style.

The designer went ahead with his big project. He prepared the 3-D design of the world in a day in Alberta (Canada). After that, he began the world on the ground in their back yard. The project took 45 days to take its final shape. The chivalric Harry Potter world stood in 350sqft in the back yard with the help of a crane.

Logan got thrilled to see her playhouse. It consists of Hogwarts Castle, Ollivander wand shop, Platform 30/4 and Dursey’s Privet Drive. Not just that, slides, hatches and swings are also there to add charm to the world. The rooms also don the colors of wizards’ world with broomsticks, toy basilisks, beasts-style trunk drawer, etc. There are also some owl-themed armchairs, chandeliers, etc.

Well, the playhouse is not just a structure. It also consists of a kitchen, an electric fireplace in the room and a bed. Logan got thrilled to see her big Harry Potter playhouse. Dave shared that she loved to have tea in the little kitchen and lose track of time. According to him, one should see her face when she was using the playhouse. They were thrilled with it.

But the grandparents were not yet done with their project. They wanted to install zip that would run down from the balcony to the ground. They did not disclose the total cost of the big playhouse. According to some sources, the cost of building a ‘Charmed Playhouse’ lies from $15000 to $250000.

The grandparents unveiled a new side to express their love. Hopefully, Logan will enjoy her great childhood to the full.
