Ever wondered where J.K. Rowling got the inspiration to create Harry Potter and his wizarding world?! Some of it happened in Edinburgh, and this guided tour takes you to those places. Rowling came to Edinburgh with her young daughter to live with her sister after escaping an abusive relationship with her first husband.

The book tells the story of Harry Potter, an orphan, a young wizard, and his two best friends who attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and work together to defeat the evil Lord Voldemort. The first book was followed by six more. All became a worldwide success. Over the years, Rowling sold over 500 million copies, the books were translated into at least 70 languages, and she became one of the highest-paid authors of all time. Your tour guide is a Harry Potter fan who will tell you Rowling’s story and the places that inspired her in Edinburgh.
