Walk in Rowling’s Footsteps: Harry Potter Spots in Edinburgh 🪄

For Harry Potter fans, this city is a treasure map of inspiration: Greyfriars Kirkyard, said to inspire character names like McGonagall and Tom Riddle. Cockburn Street, with its winding, magical vibe that feels straight out of Diagon Alley. Quirky cafés like the Elephant House where J.K. Rowling once wrote her early drafts. ✨ To unlock the full magic, join a Harry Potter guided walking tour—you’ll discover hidden references, filming inspirations, and stories that bring the wizarding world to life. 📍 Practical Info Location: Edinburgh Old Town, Scotland Access: Walkable from Waverley Station; best explored on foot Highlights: Greyfriars Kirkyard, Cockburn Street, Harry Potter merchandise shops, Rowling’s writing cafés Tours: Harry Potter guided tours available daily; book in advance Nearby Attractions: Edinburgh Castle, Royal Mile, Grassmarket #edinburghtrips #harrypotter
