The Elephant House Cafe Edinburgh, where Jk Rowling wrote Harry Potter is a must see. It's one of the most famous coffee shops in Edinburgh. It's also the stop on every Harry Potter Walking Tour of Edinburgh that separates the true fans from the followers on.

The Elephant House in Edinburgh, Scotland is a pilgrimage site for any Potterhead. From the outside, and honestly from the inside as well, it seems like your average cafe. However, this cafe is one of the cafes that provided space for J.K. Rowling to create not only a book series, but an entire magical world.

The Elephant House Edinburgh is a low-key cafe and tea room where J.K. Rowling wrote Harry Potter. Bohemian students, artists, writers and business people sitting on the one coffee and leaching the free Wi-Fi are the bane of a cafe owner's existence - especially at the Elephant House.

The Elephant House What may look like an ordinary café on the outside is actually something of a pilgrimage site for Harry Potter fans. Opened on Marshall Street in 1995, the cafe was the location where JK Rowling wrote much of the first two novels in the series. The café was also frequented by writers Sir Ian Rankin and Alexander McCall Smith.

Joanne Rowling, aka J.K. Rowling, had the inspiration for what would become the Harry Potter series during a train ride from Manchester to London in 1990. She soon sketched out a rough plan for a 7-book series featuring a boy wizard. She saw it as a book series from the start and was obviously a woman with both imagination and ambition!
