Private Walking Tour: JK Rowling's Harry Potter in Edinburgh FR

About this activity

Did you know that Voldemort has a grave in Edinburgh cemetery? Or that the Patronus of James Potter comes from a Scottish legend? When she wrote Harry Potter, JK Rowling had just moved to Edinburgh and was inspired by everything she saw around her.

During this 2h private tour in French, you will follow her footsteps and discover more of the "behind the scenes" of magic. You will learn anecdotes about both Harry Potter and the life of its author while discovering all the hidden spots of Edinburgh - which are strikingly similar to the world described by JK Rowling.​..
