Highlights

If you loved Harry Potter, then you want a tour of JK Rowling’s home to be as unforgettable as reading the books for the first time. You want to fill that crushing emptiness closing the Deathly Hallows left. You have one chance to make it good & you want the best.


「 I wrote this tour for you 」


» All the inspirations for Harry Potter in Edinburgh & much of the rest of the world too.
» Rowling’s life living across Europe & how this impacted the books.
» What we can learn from how Rowling overcame hardship. 
» How do you write like JK Rowling? Lots & lots of practice & a little reflection mostly, but you could come on this tour anyway & I'll attempt to illuminate an inch further.
» Lunch in a Harry Potter cafe with practicals: Divination, Charms, Potter games; quill writing or song-smithing.
① ticket passages a group of up to 6 Potterheads & squibs.


It’s been popular amongst generous parents seeking an entirely forgettable rite of passage; passionate fans & teachers, for thoroughness.

Itinerary

  • Duke of Wellington

    10 minsAdmission Ticket Included
    My preferred start point, is opposite the Balmoral Hotel, with its big clock tower, betwixt the Apple store & the statue of the Duke of Wellington on his beloved horse Copenhagen

  • Edinburgh Old Town

    6 hours 25 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    An 8-hour tour of locations connected to JK Rowling & the writing of her beloved Harry Potter. Harry's saga is more than a million words & has sold more than ½ billion books. You don't need an 8-hour 'Harry Potter tour', but Harry deserves it.

  • The Elephant House

    40 minsAdmission Ticket Not Included
    Late lunch! If it's open. Around £15 per person will be required. If it's closed we'll go elsewhere. This is optional, the tour can be done without lunch, you could bring a packed lunch or buy sandwiches en-route to eat on the go. But this would omit the seated lunch activities.

  • Greyfriars Kirkyard

    45 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    Part of Edinburgh's world heritage site and Edinburgh's most visited cemetery, I wonder why?

Please review » EXCLUSIONS ✕
There is a good amount of steps. People say it is a good workout. Wear comfortable waterproof shoes
It can be very cold, bring a hat & gloves & check the weather for rain
8 hours is a long time so BREAKFAST. Think everybody’s favourite Gameskeeper: if your feet haven’t swollen to baby Dolphins - keep shovelling!
For an all-day private tour the price is relatively keen, ½ of some. Lunch, maybe a tip, are MOST appreciated.
At least 1 person needs to have read all the books, or your Wizard will despair
