"(CNN) — Ready to feel old? This month, Harry Potter turns 20. That's right, it's been two decades since J.K. Rowling's wildly successful series about the boy wizard first hit our shelves.

The anniversary is being marked with new editions of the novels, as well as a large-scale British Library exhibition, opening October 20. But perhaps the best way to mark this occasion is to take a trip to where it all began: Edinburgh, Scotland.

The beautiful Scottish capital is the adopted home of Rowling, who has lived there since the early 1990s."


The article lists 8 places to visit:

  1. Enjoy breakfast at The Elephant House Café
  2. Admire the spires of George Heriot's School
  3. Hunt for Voldemort at Greyfriars Kirkyard
  4. Stop for a coffee at Spoon
  5. Shop on Diagon Alley/Victoria Street
  6. Spend a night in the Balmoral Hotel
  7. Find Rowling's hand prints on the Royal Mile
  8. Catch the Hogwarts Express to the Highlands
