Harry Potter finds in Scotland! 🏴🪄
HELLO!!🫶🏻
It has been such a long time since I have posted on here, and wow I have gained so many new friends on here! I wanted to come back to share my recent trip to Scotland which was absolutely stunning! My boyfriend took me for my birthday, and I am so grateful to have traveled amidst being so busy during my graduate program!
This is the first of a few Scotland posts I will be making, and I had to start off with all of the Harry Potter related things we did in Scotland! As a longtime, diehard fan of the series, this was a DREAM come true for me🥺 Scotland is the birthplace of HP, in which J.K wrote the majority of the books here along with gaining inspiration for different character names (hint at Tommy Riddles grave), the ambiance of the films, and many places in Scotland were actual filming locations for the movie!! I am beyond blessed to have experienced this in person, and my whole perspective of the films has changed since visiting this past March🫶🏻
With that being said, I hope all of my HP⚡️fans enjoy this post and to my new friends on here, thank you for enjoying my content🥹❤️ I have much more to post and I can not wait to share!!
📍 City/Country: Scotland, UK

Scotland is the heart and soul of the Harry Potter series, where fans can immerse themselves in the magical world created by J.K. Rowling. Edinburgh, often regarded as a backdrop for the wizarding saga, offers several locations like Victoria Street, famously known as Diagon Alley, where you can find unique shops that bring the wizarding world to life. The Elephant House café, where Rowling penned some of her earliest chapters, serves up not just coffee, but an ambiance that sparks creativity and nostalgia for Potter fans. A visit to Greyfriars Kirkyard is essential. This 17th-century graveyard holds the resting places of names that resonate with Harry Potter fans, including Tom Riddle's grave, inspiring the character of Voldemort. Moreover, a day trip to the stunning Scottish Highlands will unveil filming spots like hagrids hut and the Forbidden Forest, both of which add a dose of adventure to your trip. For those wanting to extend their journey, locations such as Glenfinnan Viaduct and the Jacobite train ride ensure a full-fledged Harry Potter experience. This exploration not only deepens your appreciation for the series but allows each fan to walk the same paths that inspired the iconic narrative. Whether for a day or a whole week, a journey through the Scottish landscapes will surely leave you enchanted and connected to the magic of Harry Potter.
