‘Harry Potter’ Author JK Rowling has won permission to build two luxurious Hogwarts-style tree houses in her garden, despite protests from local residents.

The 47-year-old writer applied to have the 40ft high structures erected at an estimated cost of 250,000 pounds as part of a programme of major renovations at her home in Edinburgh, reported Daily Express.

Residents living nearby lodged objections with Edinburgh City Council last month but officials have now given the writer a go-ahead.

Rowling bought the 17th century, 33-room mansion for just over 2million pounds two and a half years ago.
