What Can I Expect
Discover Scotland’s links to Harry Potter on a walking tour in Edinburgh! JK Rowling was in the Scottish capital when she began writing the world-famous Harry Potter series of books. This walking tour shows you where much of the inspiration for her wizardly world came from.
You meet your Harry Potter tour guide on Prince’s Street in the heart of Edinburgh. For the next two hours you will be totally immersed in JK Rowling’s brain, seeing Edinburgh how she saw it, as she developed the characters of Harry, Hermione and friends.
Walk past the cafes where she wrote her stories as a struggling author. Be wowed by the impressive architecture of the school rumoured to have inspired Hogwarts. Visit the graveyard where the names on the tombstones inspired the names of the friends and fiends in her books.
From Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile, to the Balmoral Hotel and Victoria Street, you’ll see it all on this fun and fact-filled walking tour. Your guide will regale you with anecdotes and stories you’ll find utterly fascinating.
