What It Is

  • Edinburgh is the place where J.K. Rowling was living when writing some of the Harry Potter books and is the city that inspired the characters and the places from Hogwarts to Diagon Alley, even the concept of Witches and Wizards.
  • This walking tour shows you the inspiration for Harry Potter, the friendly guide pointing out details that you would never have otherwise seen or known.

Your Experience With Harry Potter Walking Tour Edinburgh

  • Meet your local guide at the allocated place and begin your 2 hour walking tour taking in the sights that inspired J.K. Rowling and the hotels and cafes where she stayed when writing portions of the books.
  • You'll see the architecture that inspired Hogwarts, and as you walk along Edinburgh High Street you'll see the place that inspired Diagon Alley. Learn where she got her inspiration for Quidditch and see where Lord Voldemort is buried as you uncover the origins of one of the best-loved children's books of all time.
  • As well as seeing the inspiration you'll lean about Edinburgh's dark history and the inspiration for witches and wizards thanks to Scottish folklore!
  • Throughout the walk you'll be quizzed to see how much of a true Potter fan you are and might even win the coveted Harry Potter glasses!
