For all Harry Potter fans out there, Edinburgh should be high up on your bucket list. Some inspiration for the books where taken from the city, mostly names that J.K. Rowling found on gravestones and the surrounding buildings that might have shaped the form of Hogwarts that we know. You can also visit the café where the very first book of the series was written and if you’re lucky like me, your tourguide is the quidditch captain of the local university. The University of Edinburgh also offers a Harry Potter Society.
