If you are fan of Harry Potter is a spot that you must see

The handprints are not on the Main Street, they’re actually inside the courtyard. Took us a while to find them. Just enter the little courtyard off the Mary King Close and all the Edinburgh Award recipients are there! Great little nook to sit in and enjoy!

Esta muy desgastado y en foto no se aprecia bien pero para fans de Harry Potter esta bien y la calle Victoria que es la inspiracion del callejon Diagon
