Something magical is brewing at a Welsh B&B.
Llety Cynin in Carmarthenshire is Harry Potter crazy and the Hogwarts-themed venue - which has welcomed guests from across the world - already serves a range of afternoon teas inspired by the boy wizard.
And now, to mark the 20th anniversary since the launch of JK Rowling's series of fantasy novels, it's giving away a "free book from the magical world” to every child who has a Wizard’s Tea.
How do I get a free book?
The 20th anniversary celebrations begin on Monday, June 26, and run until Friday, July 21, which marks the 10th anniversary of the final book, The Deathly Hallows.
Every child who has Wizard's Tea between these dates can take home a "free book from the magical world." (Terms and conditions apply, and the offer is subject to availability)
What’s the Wizard’s Tea all about?
The tea, which was created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, includes what the owner's say are some of Harry’s favourite foods.
