It was here at the Elephant House where Harry Potter was born, or at least according to the sign. Either way, she must have sat here amongst other cafes in Edinburgh. As a matter of fact, she probably has been to most cafes here, particularly ones that had this view:
Our tour guide (and Wikipedia) said this is the castle that JK Rowling used as inspiration for Hogwarts. I believe them.
Moving on to more important places, I'm sure some of you recognize this from the movie (We're now in Oxford, Christ Church College).
We also got to tour the Bodleian Library. They were very strict about taking images inside the library but I'm sure you can google how it looked (or you can watch the movie!). I was only able to take a picture of the main area:
The library was pretty amazing, considering it had 8 million books and an underground tunnel running under the streets of Oxford just for transporting books between the old and new library.
Probably the coolest thing as a Harry Potter fan is the Great Hall.
Can I say omg? No magical ceilings though. I already got over it, but it's still cool to think that I was there.
Other places you might recognize:
That's the end of my Harry Potter tour! I wanted to go see the Gloucester Cathedral for other locations from the movie but I think I'm good. Just being able to see these was already cool enough.
