JK Rowling and Harry Potter

The prolific and highly successful JK Rowling wrote her Harry Potter books from a small coffee shop off the Royal Mile in Edinburgh.  It has become shrine-like to aspiring writers and fans of the series.  




Looking at Edinburgh, with its gothic architecture, hidden "Closes", subterranean streets and corridors coupled with famous and infamous characters - well, you can see how someone with a beautiful imagination like "Jo" Rowling could create wild mythic characters and scenario.



The Scott Memorial (Sir Walter Scott)

Look closely at the gargoyles - yikes



Not sure, but bet these brick inlays mean something....

Lots of little, narrow, kinda spooky "Closes"  Nothing special in daylight, but as the sun sets.......just sayin'
