The Warriors held a ten-point advantage after the first leg but Edinburgh blew them away 20-8 at Scotstoun to claim local bragging rights for the first time in six years.
Hardie has already tasted the rivalry after playing five times for Scotland in the World Cup, and the back rower now can't wait for his first 1872 Cup experience.
"I am looking forward to it," Hardie told The Scotsman. "A few (Glasgow) boys I played with for Scotland and no doubt it will be big 80 minutes and there will be no love lost in it.
"It would be great to get off to a good start in this first 80 against Glasgow (at Murrayfield) and then look forward to a big game at Scotstoun as well.
"I heard it was a dominant performance (last season) and we'll be looking to replicate that but Glasgow are playing really good rugby at the moment and we are going to have to counteract that and play our game and hopefully things work out."
