11:29 "train station - old loch - castle on a rock" ;)

I’m so glad I found your videos, I’ve been binge watching all night :-) My husband and I are leaving in two days for a week and a half trip to Scotland (from Michigan,USA another place in the world where you can experience 4 seasons in less than a week) ending with 3 days in Edinburgh! I’m so excited!

The harry potter sights were the highlight of my trip to Edinburgh when i visited a month ago. There is a free tour which starts at 3pm from the Greyfriars Bobby statue which is seriously good. (you get a wand for the duration of the tour) I had previously walked around the graveyard trying to locate Tom Riddles grave but had no luck on my own. Gladly the location was included in the HP tour. The directions to the grave are spot on and will come in handy for other people. I have also read there is a Knockturn Alley somewhere too?

Thank you for this. It's great, I said to my daughter three years ago on her Hen weekend, this reminds me of Harry Potter. We were in Victoria street and I said this is Diagonal Alley! My two daughters said, come on mum, let's get to the restaurant. I said no, look at this, they said well we're not into Harry Potter so don't know 😄 I just knew instinctively going around Edinburgh that a lot was reminiscent of the film. Unfortunately, being the only HP fan in the 10 hens, I was on my own! Just one of those moments now, when you say 'I KNEW IT!' 😄😄😄. Thank you so much ⭐️

Thanks for this video Tony! We were able to make it to all these places, and even told other tourists about some of the places you mentioned that they did not know about. You're the best!

some Of those graves are touching 350 to 400 years old, that blows my mind and shows you just how old Edinburgh is.

Smashing video of the backstory to the Harry Potter series, Tony. Well done.

Cockburn Street was a great place to go in the 80s early nineties for music and fashion Sadly missed these days.

This was so cool, thank you for the video! For anyone planning on following this tour - The Elephant House Cafe is currently closed due to a recent fire 😢

I don’t know how I missed this video, but I’ll have to show my daughter who is just starting in the Harry Potter world. She just finished book 2. We weren’t HP fans when we visited last fall, so it gives some new discoveries for next time. Thanks!!

I love all your videos ❤️❤️❤️ it is very useful for traveler and fascinating. I ends up watching all of it since I started watching the first one. I look forward to watching your new content. 🤩

Love this!! I was just in all of these places a few weeks ago and am shocked I still missed so much!! :D I am DEFINITELY going back!! We went all around Scotland including Edinburgh, Stirling Castle, Wallacw Monument, Dundee and Glamis Castle, Aberdeen, Dunnottar castle, Lochness and Urquhart castle, Eilean Donan, down through stunning Glencoe through the Trossachs and the Three Sisters, Doune Castle and then finally to Glasgow and had the most AMAZING time going to all of these magnificent places!!! So excited to go back as there was still so so much more to see!!! :D Thank you for this awesome video to open so many people's eyes to what else there is to see! I subscribed and hope to see more of this kind of awesome content to come! ❤

Cool video! You are so funny!

I love all the Edinburgh Harry potter hotspots, I've walked the Potter trail twice

I lived in Edinburgh for a yr. I used to walk from my flat, to Edinburg Castle, the Royal Mile, & I went to their underground mall on Prince's Street... Great memories !!! Love these vids. !!! 💙💙💙 Got any vids of the Bruntsfield School where Sean Connery went to?? I used to go there all the time!! (I was a nanny for 3 children) Two of the children went there. The youngest one went to preschool in the basement of a church where JK Rowland went. We never met her. She moved up to Fife after she was too well known in Edinburgh.

If I never hear that Harry Potter music again, it will be too soon. LOL Thanks for the Harry tour. Can’t wait to see some of them.

Love your video Tony you make such a brilliant guide I love Harry Potter and I just wondered what house you would be sorted into, maybe a Ravenclaw!

I'm not a Muggle. Thank you, I have enjoyed your tour.

If you haven't read it yet, may I suggest that you find a copy of 'Reading Round Edinburgh - A Guide to Children's Books of the City published by Floris Books. J K Rowling has of course written the Introduction to it. I quote - "All writers dread the question "where do you get your ideas from ?" ......I cannot be sure whether I would have had different ideas for the Harry Potter books if I had written them in cafés all over Birmingham or Bristol, but I suspect I would. ..... Foreign journalists, particularly if wanting to film me, are usually thrilled by Edinburgh's cobbled streets, its winding alleys and looming, dramatic castle. The city offers many Potter-esque vistas, and I know I sometimes disappoint when I say I cannot point to any building or streets that have a direct counterpart in my fictional world. However, I am not always believed when I say this. A man who worked at a certain public school in Edinburgh once wrote to me to invite me to look around, as I had "clearly" based Hogwarts upon his workplace. I wrote back politely to thank him for the invitation, but added truthfully that I had been writing for four years before I had ever set eyes on his school. I thought that would be the last I heard of him, but I was wrong; within days, he wrote back to tell me that I was mistaken, and that I had definitely based Hogwarts on his school. The correspondence ended at that point, so I don't know whether he is still telling people that he works at the "real" Hogwarts : I suspect he is." - The fact is that she began imagining and writing the Harry Potter books on the pavement when she was still in Portugal and later in Bristol long before she moved to Edinburgh. I'm not saying that she didn't continue writing when she got to the Elephant House and elsewhere, but she had already firmly established Hogwarts and all that happened to Harry Potter in her fictional world much much earlier.

Loved the video. If you go to the grave yard where your turned right to go down the hill keep going straight and on the left is a name you will know as another famous teacher just by the gates to the school

Take a trip to the Leigh to gilmerton and mordan please?anything Eric Faulkner,surprised he's not remembered any where,thank you.also hawick.

Never noticed the loch castle train station resemblance before! Ha good on ya

The school that can be seen though the gates in kirkyard was idea for horgwards school.

GOOD VIDEO

Well done, although you missed the Lewis Chessmen at the National Museum of Scotland, in which Harry played Ron at Wizard Chess and was featured in the first film.

great video, keep up the good work

Today's sad day after news about Anthony Bourdain. Your video put a smile on my face. Can't wait to visit these places in a couple months!

Forget Harry Potter, I would like to see top Scottish sights to see in Edinburgh!

Awesome video. Let me ask, is it a thing to vandalize a fixture when you finish writing a book? Asking for a friend. LOL

Do you have the Trainspotting (the movie) version? I’d like that very much. Thank you!

There's a Harry Potter bar opening soon in Edinburgh ;)

Hallo! I'm coming back to Edinburgh this summer in early July, and wondered if there are any HP tours you know of going around. I'd love to see some of the sites. I know Edinburgh fairly well, but most of my knowledge is 10 years old, and it wasn't as HP friendly back then. Any tips?

Can someone give me details on where you go to find j k Rowling handprints please not sure on what he said was it royal mile ? 7 chambers

My name is dot myself and my friend and my disabled son are coming to Edinburgh on 23-25 November we are mad on Harry Potter can you suggest a good Harry Potter tour my son thinks you are great

Train station... castle

I seriously can’t find the second street you walked down. Colborn street? Cowborn street? If it’s supposed to be close to Victoria street I can’t find a street with a similar name to that. Is google maps hiding it from me? 🤦🏼‍♀️

Great video I would be your bested friend. Love to hear you talk.

I always thought george Watson's was the inspiration for Hogwarts

The odd music makes it hard to hear and focus on this video.
