Or on the banks of Loch Shiel in Scotland?
[NB This is based on me recognising the landscape in some of the movies, apparently the books say it is near Dufftown - which is on the other side of Scotland].
I had also assumed it was the school on Lauriston Place in Edinburgh, but apparently that's definitely not true...
- ggm 3y agoi.e. George Heriots
- dboreham 3y agoDefinitely is true. She also sent her own kids there.
- arethuza 3y agoApparently Rowling thought of Hogwarts before moving to Edinburgh - but it seems a bit of a coincidence that Heriots school is right next to the graveyard with Tom Riddle's grave: https://www.pottertour.co.uk/blog/george-heriots-school-harry-potter.html https://www.pottertour.co.uk/blog/george-heriots-school-harr... Mind you - I'm not really that big a Harry Potter fan but I did live in that part of Edinburgh for many years and my son went to Heriots after adventures at other schools...
