Where is Hogwarts based upon?

James Harwood asked:

I’m applying to St Andrews and its a beautiful university in Scotland in the middle of no-where, the oldest. I’m told that’s probably where Hogwarts is based upon. I remember hearing Hogwarts is based upon Edinburgh Castle partially.

Tell me where it is based upon with an accurate and relevant source link.

Thanks!

    probably some old castles in england or scotland. jk rowling got the idea of the harry potter series on a train travelling in england, so maybe she was influenced by some old english castles, since she lives there.

    i think that the book was based on Edinburgh Castle but the movies were shot in Scotland, so that could be why people think that it’s based on St. Andrews.

    I’m considering St.Andrews too. Don’t know about the Hogwarts thing but the author is Scottish.
