Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling Free Tour Edinburgh
Overview
They say that Edinburgh is the birthplace of Harry Potter, but if you're a true Potterhead, you know that J.K. Rowling spent years building this magical universe before she ever set foot in the city. However, it's undeniable that this is where her "pen" definitely integrated everything: every spell, every character, every plot, and every nook and cranny of her universe.
Now, how much of what you've heard is true? In this tour, we will unveil the myths and truths about the corners of Edinburgh that, according to the story, inspired J.K. Rowling to create the saga that marked generations.
What will you discover on this tour?
- The street that inspired Diagon Alley (or maybe not).
- The grave of "he who must not be named"... or at least, of his real-life namesake.
- The coffee shop where J.K. Rowling wrote part of Philosopher's Stone, though it's not the one with the red facade with the elephant in the logo.
- The school that many swear Hogwarts inspired.
- Hidden connections and references in the cobblestone streets of the city.
We don't just talk about Harry Potter on this tour... we live it!
