Join us to see the beautiful Scottish city of Edinburgh, the inspirtation and architectural backdrop for Harry Potter. First, we'll conduct our own Hogwarts House test for all the muggles. There will be a Harry Potter trivia competition between the houses, so everyone needs to be sorted! We'll show you the places where J.K. Rowling drew her inspiration, such as the school believed to be the inspiration for Hogwarts, the shops that inspired Diagon Alley, the graveyard where she found her characters' names and much more! Along the way, we'll share the inspiration behind some of the most loved characters. We'll finish with a final quiz to see which Hogwarts house wins. Extra house points are awarded to those who show up in costume!
