While J K Rowling was not born in Scotland, she has lived for many years in the country and wrote all of her famous "Harry Potter" books in Scotland. J. K. Rowling moved to Scotland while she was just beginning to write the first book and therefore all the books were imagined and written in Edinburgh. Perhaps she was inspired by the ancient history of the city, with its Castle high up on the rock, the narrow rambling cobbled streets and alleyways and Arthur's Seat, the hill beside Holyrood Palace, believed to be associated with the legend of King Arthur.

有人提出要在第一個(gè)故事的基礎(chǔ)上拍攝一部哈利·波特的電影，羅琳接受了這個(gè)建議，但她有一個(gè)條件——電影中的故事情節(jié)必須忠實(shí)于原著。在《哈利·波特》系列電影的拍攝期間，該片中的一眾年輕演員時(shí)時(shí)造訪蘇格蘭西部地勢(shì)起伏的高地——一片在歷史上現(xiàn)實(shí)與想象經(jīng)常重合的大地。而哈利·波特和ＪＫ羅琳的魔法仍在延續(xù)……
