Rowling spent a fair amount of time writing the Harry Potter books. It’s not quite the “birthplace” of Harry Potter, as Rowling had been writing Harry Potter well before she first visited the Elephant House, but she did definitely spend time writing there. Sadly, the Elephant House is closed now - a neighboring business caught fire, and the blaze damaged the Elephant House so badly it now sits empty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61da826e21c0a76f5b3f5b81/e98f1c16-0db5-4a74-a07f-8793ed001b5b/9D20D396-5796-40AD-8C32-22F65EA6FEE5_1_105_c.jpg Tripping on Travel Blog - TAKING THE ULTIMATE HARRY POTTER FAN VACATION - a quest to visit the studio tour… The idea for this trip came about with the decision to fly to London to, first and foremost, visit the Warner Bros.
