Which Harry Potter book did J.K. Rowling write after moving to Edinburgh?

J.K. Rowling wrote Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone after moving to Edinburgh.

Rowling moved to Edinburgh in 1993 with her daughter Jessica. She worked on the Harry Potter manuscript in cafés and at home, continuing a project that had begun with the idea of a boy attending a school of magic. The novel was published in the United Kingdom in 1997 by Bloomsbury.

The book introduces Harry, Hogwarts, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and the central conflict with Lord Voldemort. In the United States, it was published under the title Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, a title change that can cause confusion when identifying the first book.

The novel was Rowling’s debut and launched a seven-book series. Its publication date is deliberately not the focus here: the key fact is the Edinburgh period during which Rowling developed and completed the first novel.
