Stop at House of MinaLima, celebrating the graphic design and visual world associated with the Harry Potter films, created by designers Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima.
Walk along one of Edinburgh’s most colourful and distinctive streets. Victoria Street is frequently associated with Diagon Alley, although the connection is a popular theory rather than a confirmed inspiration.

Discover one of Edinburgh’s best-known literary cafés, associated with J.K. Rowling’s early writing years and the development of the Harry Potter books.
Explore this historic Edinburgh graveyard and see names that Harry Potter fans have connected with characters from the books, while separating documented facts from popular theories.
View the striking historic school beside Greyfriars Kirkyard. Its architecture is often compared with Hogwarts, although claims that it directly inspired the fictional school are unconfirmed.

About Edinburgh
Edinburgh, Scotland's capital, rises on volcanic hills, with a castle on a crag, a medieval Old Town and an elegant Georgian New Town.
Edinburgh Castle crowns Castle Rock and keeps the Honours of Scotland, the Scottish crown jewels. From there, the Royal Mile runs downhill through the Old Town, past St Giles' Cathedral and a warren of narrow closes, to the Palace of Holyroodhouse and the Scottish Parliament. Arthur's Seat, an ancient volcano, rises above the palace with sweeping views.
Top-ranked sights in Edinburgh: Royal Mile, Edinburgh Old Town, Edinburgh Castle.
