Construite entre 1829 et 1834, Victoria Street est réalisée par l’architecte Thomas Hamilton dans le style flamand ancien avec des façades imposantes et des arches proéminentes. La rue remplace l’une des principales artères de la ville, la West Bow, une fente en forme de Z effroyablement raide, offrant un accès beaucoup plus facile du Grassmarket à Castlehill. Nommée Bow Street jusqu’en 1837, elle prendra son nom définitif en 1937 lors de l’accession au trône de la reine Victoria.
La vieille ville d’Edimbourg est remplie d’histoires et de mystères, ce quartier ne fait pas exception. Un homme surnommé le « magicien de l’arc ouest », le Major Weir qui habitait le quartier, fut exécuté pour sorcellerie en 1670. Rien d’étonnant en sachant que plus de 4 000 sorcières présumées ont été mises à mort dans cette ville ressource inépuisable pour tout auteur en quête d’inspiration. J.K. Rowling semble s’être inspirée dans ses romans de Victoria Street pour décrire le chemin de Traverse : cette ruelle un peu biscornue où Harry Potter et ses amis sorciers achètent les fournitures scolaires avant d’aller à Poudlard : Prends une bonne poignée de poudre de cheminette, parles bien fort et distinctement, et dis “chemin de Traverse” ! Avec ses vieux pavés, ses boutiques, ses bâtiments colorées et ses toitures pointues, cette vieille rue correspond en tous points à la description. Les Moldus quant à eux peuvent visiter un magasin jouant sur cette anecdote : le Diagon House (le chemin de Traverse se dit Diagon Alley dans la version originale). Fait amusant, il y avait, dans les années 1990 (année d’écriture du premier tome), une banque et une librairie/papeterie dans cette rue, à peu près situées au même endroit que la banque Gringotts et la boutique de Fleury et Boot dans le Chemin de Traverse. Aujourd’hui vous trouverez de nombreux cafés, des boutiques d’objets en tous genres et une des plus anciennes librairies de la ville.
Built between 1829 and 1834, Victoria Street was designed by architect Thomas Hamilton in the old Flemish style with imposing facades and prominent arches. The street replaces one of the city's main thoroughfares, the West Bow, a frighteningly steep Z-shaped cleft, providing much easier access from the Grassmarket to Castlehill. Named Bow Street until 1837, it took its final name in 1937 when Queen Victoria acceded to the throne.
Edinburgh's Old Town is full of stories and mysteries, this area is no exception. A man nicknamed the “Wizard of the West Arc,” Major Weir, who lived in the neighborhood, was executed for witchcraft in 1670. No wonder more than 4,000 suspected witches were put to death in this resort town inexhaustible for any author in search of inspiration. J.K. Rowling seems to have drawn inspiration from her Victoria Street novels to describe Diagon Alley: that slightly crooked alley where Harry Potter and his wizarding friends buy school supplies before going to Hogwarts: Take a good handful of powdered Floo, speak loud and clear, and say Diagon Alley! With its old cobblestones, its shops, its colorful buildings and its pointed roofs, this old street corresponds in every way to the description. Muggles can visit a store playing on this anecdote: the Diagon House (Diagon Alley is called Diagon Alley in the original version). Fun fact, there was, in the 1990s (the year the first volume was written), a bank and a bookshop/stationery on this street, roughly located in the same place as the Gringotts bank and the shop of Fleury and Boot in Diagon Alley. Today you will find many cafes, shops of all kinds and one of the oldest bookstores in the city.
La construction de la Cathédrale débuta en 1518 et dura presque 200 ans ! La cathédrale possèdent 5 vaisseaux larges et élevés avec 13 chapelles latérales et 1 déambulatoire.

At the eastern end, you can climb the Stamp Stair (so called for the practice of stamping newspapers, which once occurred in this part of the building). While clearly lacking the grace of its neighbour, The Nelson Staircase, the precarious-looking construction will remind you of Hogwarts. Note also how the intricate iron bannister changes to a much more workaday bar pattern as you descend to the servants’ level.
