JK Rowling's Harry Potter Walking Tour in Edinburgh

Edinburgh

Some cities inspire stories. Edinburgh built one. J.K. Rowling wrote much of Harry Potter here — broke, recently divorced, and raising a child — and the city's shadows and stone worked their way into every page. This 2-hour walk is led by a guide who is a genuine fan as well as a local expert, and it goes deeper than the famous photo spots. You'll hear the honest, human story of how an extraordinary series began in very ordinary difficulty, and see how Edinburgh's real history — its dark past, its gothic architecture, its centuries-old graves — quietly shaped a world of witches and wizards. By the end, the line between the real city and the wizarding world has all but disappeared. Best of all, our tours run rain, hail or shine and never get cancelled — because in Edinburgh, a little weather only adds to the magic. Come and see the city the way Rowling did, and you'll never read the books quite the same way again.
