Visitors in Edinburgh, Scotland embark on fan pilgrimage tours to locations that inspired J.K. Rowling, using umbrellas as wands and reciting spells before departing, visiting spots like the gravestone in Greyfriars Kirkyard for Voldemort's name inspiration, and Elephant House café where Rowling wrote the famous series. The Scotland National Tourism Organization reveals that one-fifth of tourists visit Scotland due to film, TV, or literature, with Harry Potter being a major draw. Despite controversies over Rowling's recent comments, fans still flock to Edinburgh for themed tours, souvenir shopping, and magical experiences, contributing significantly to the tourism industry.
