Harry Potter and Edinburgh

I hate the fact HP is associated with my favorite city. Why couldn't he pick another city!

I visited Edinburgh last year.
God shriram's Hindu Temple is also in this beutiful city. I love scotland. from Indore India

Very cool and awesome.

Having never watched or read any of The Harry Potter stories.. we did enjoy this great city and our tour guide often mentioned HP to the other guests who were all so excited to see these sites in person. Really wonderful city. Maybe I’ll hunker down and watch ??

The ubiquitous graffiti really undermines any positive aspect of this ancient city . . . There’s barely an exterior shot in this video in which I can’t see graffiti 🙄

The music in the kirkyard is a bit much, no? Meant to be a holy peaceful site

Wrong. Victoria Street was not the inspiration for Diagon Alley. It was The Shambles in York.

Edinburgh is one of my favorite cities, walking in the haar there feels like being in a fairy tale 🌲

I'd look at photos of Fettes College in Edinburgh for inspiration for Hogwarts.

FAB video

The Elephant House was such a great cafe before it decided to cash in on the Harry Potter stuff... truly sorry to learn about the fire.

enjoyed this video. Cheers

Now look-up William McGonagall. He is not only Britain's worst poet, but worst stage MacBeth, too. His story is a story waiting to be turned into a musical. And I am confused. J.K has recently declared that Edinburgh has NOTHING to do with Harry Potter. Now re-watch this video. I am still confused!

I used to work in Edinburgh and the job took me well off the beaten track. Let me say it's a weird and wonderful place steeped in folklore and mystery.

the birthplace to harry potter when she first put pen to paper was in her flat above a sports store in clapham junction London. she did do some writing in the elaphant house. the first time she had the idea for HP was the manchester -london train. she hadn't even been to Edinburgh yet when she created hogwarts. she couldn't drive so the parking meter that the tour claims she used is false. also she was not inspired by that subway underpass. also that colorful street was not the inspiration for diagon alley. im just relaying her tweet thread from May 2020 when she decided to put to bed a lot of rumors.

Nice

Loved it😊

What's the spooky music used for the graveyard?

Maybe you could learn to articulate, or don't eat while recording the voice for your videos. Shannkk yoush.

Unbelievable annoying more to see than a movie row. I guess european culture had in walking distance magician schools and there were also university, so see it like a movie that you seen flying persons and magic animal.

tip: Edinburgh Art Festival is the UK's largest annual festival of visual art, was told lasted the whole month of august(warning: will close some streets for performances)

Nice 🎉

Where are you from? Hmmm. Your English is strange

Take me back!

The orginal home of Sherlock Holmes ie Arthur Conan Doyle now they have JK Rowling ❤❤❤❤

Thanks. Big Harry Potter fan. I enjoyed your fun video. Cheers

The idiot that wrote this novel shames pls go back to ur Intolerant country. We don’t want u.

A reminder to lower the volume BeFoRe you add the soundtrack to your videos. So many vids are ruined by incongruous over-loud music. So. Many.

Most of this is not true

I would love to see Edinburgh in person. Being a Harry Potter fan since its release way back in the early 2000's, the scenery and architecture seem to give off a buzz that is only truly felt in person.
Happy to see HBO Max is planning a 7 series program based off the original books.

What song is it on minute 5?

Loved the video!

Cool ambience.

This lady needed to speak up a little bit, had a hard time hearing her

Now Nicolsons cafe is a place called Spoon

Edinburgh, is the type of city that can fuel an imagination to create!

What a beautiful and magical place! Thank you for sharing this video with us ❤

This would be really interesting if you cleaned up the audio so we can hear your words. Between the music, horrible acoustics and your accent it's really tough. Wish you would redo it -- sounds liker a fascinating story!

Some good camerawork here,with good framing and slow pans.

You are mispronouncing Rowling..

Such a great vidéo thanks à lot
Love from France

I'd like to know whether J.K.Rowling had been in Prague before she wrote H.P.?
In Prague you still find many traces of the alchimists during the reign of the magic obsessed emperor Rudolph II in the 16th century who wanted them to find the Philosopher Stone?

Visit Edinburgh and you will be amazed at the thousands of foreign tourists being milked on a daily basis . Most of the commetary is fiction too.

Fun! 😊

Jk Rolling why wrote this novel? But it is intresting and great intertaining.

When I first arrived in Edinburgh, I forgot about my hotel, I stopped in front of Royal Mile and started to take pictures. Then stopped in front of a hostel as it looked like from the Harry Potter books and took pictures. I literally forgot about checking into the hotel, because I was that mesmerized by its beauty and much resemblance with the Harry Potter world. (Did I forget to mention that I'm a crazy fan of HP books? Yes I am😅)

Well done thanks❤
