Plus you’ll get to learn a bunch of other great stuff about owls! 12.

You’ll get to meet Oulu, a 15-year-old Great Grey Owl who is the real-life sister of the owl used in the Harry Potter movies. How would you like to meet the real-life sister of Ron’s clumsy owl, Errol? Well, here you can! This is something we didn’t visit, but I definitely think it’s worth mentioning. J.K Rowling lived in Edinburgh as she wrote all the Harry Potter books, so as you walk around the city, you’ll find sources and indications of inspiration on every corner.įor more inspiration, check out this guide on Edinburgh Harry Potter spots. Victoria Street in Edinburgh is also thought to be the inspiration for Diagon Alley, and it’s no surprise why really.The Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh also has links to Harry Potter because it’s the hotel in which JK Rowling shut herself away to write the final instalment of Harry Potter, and if you wish, you can even stay there in the JK Rowling Suite, which is pretty darn cool!.

Elephant House is where JK Rowling wrote most of Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone, so it's a perfect location to grab a coffee and see if you feel inspired!.

Not only for its castle, cobblestone streets and cute shops but because of its connection to Harry Potter! This was super disappointing because it’s been a city high on my bucket list for years. When Bradley and I visited Scotland, a lockdown was announced in the country and we were unable to visit Edinburgh this time. The opportunity to walk in Rowling's footsteps down the Royal Mile, see the streets, buildings and even tombstones that inspired her and sit in the places where she wrote the first and last books makes Edinburgh a great destination for fans, especially kids and teens. So Edinburgh isn’t technically a Harry Potter filming location as it was directly used in the movie, but it’s where the books were written, so it oozes inspiration and HP charm.

It’s particularly notable in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets because when Harry and Ron can’t board the Hogwarts Express, they take the flying car, and the flying car meets the train on the Glenfinnan Viaduct. The Glenfinnan Viaduct is the setting for the Hogwarts Express heading to Hogwarts, and it shows up in movies, 1, 2 and 3. This is probably the most famous Harry Potter filming location in Scotland and it’s thanks to the Hogwarts Express.
