JK Rowling wrote Harry Potter at The Elephant House in Edinburgh. Many places inspired her, including Victoria Street right outside our room that you might notice looks a bit like Diagon Alley! Edinburgh Castle was likely the inspiration for Hogwarts, and the Ministry of Magic can be found along the Royal Mile. The graveyard at Grayfriar’s is Godric’s Hollow.
I also found McGonagall’s Gin and Whiskey near The Elephant House (we’d already eaten so didn’t go in)
