And then there\u2019s Lello Bookstore. If you\u2019ve ever heard of this bookshop, you might know it as the &#8220;Harry Potter Library&#8221;. <br><br>Its stunning staircase and grand design have enchanted many visitors, especially Harry Potter fans, or &#8220;Potterheads&#8221;, who come hoping to find traces of J.K. Rowling&#8217;s magical world. But here\u2019s the truth: <em>Livraria Lello<\/em> didn\u2019t inspire Harry Potter. Not even close. <a href=\"https:\/\/tasteporto.com\/tour\/custom-experiences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Join us on a tour to discover the real Porto<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/tasteporto.com\/tour\/custom-experiences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">beyond the &#8220;Harry Potter Library&#8221;<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beyond the &#8216;Harry Potter Library&#8217; Myth: Porto\u2019s Real Influence on the Series<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>J.K. Rowling lived in Porto for only two years, but that was enough to create many urban myths intertwining Harry Potter and the city. In 1991, the Harry Potter\u2019s \u201cmother\u201d arrived in Porto to teach English, and it was here that she, in her own words, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jkrowling.com\/#\/timeline\/living-in-portugal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">wrote what has become my favorite chapter in <em>The Philosopher\u2019s Stone<\/em>: The Mirror of Erised<\/a>\u201d. Porto undoubtedly had an influence on her life, but do these urban myths hold any truth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did Lello Bookshop inspire Flourish and Blotts or Hogwarts\u2019 Grand Staircase?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A popular theory suggests that <em>Livraria Lello<\/em> inspired Flourish and Blotts, the famous bookshop in <em>Harry Potter<\/em>. However, if you compare the bookshop to its depiction in the movies or video games, the similarities are limited to the presence of books. <br><br>Another common belief is that Lello\u2019s red staircase inspired Hogwarts\u2019 moving staircases. But in reality, Hogwarts&#8217; staircases are straight, while Lello\u2019s are curved. <br><br>Rowling has publicly denied any connection, tweeting in 2020: \u201cI was never inspired by Lello\u2019s, I didn\u2019t even enter it. It\u2019s beautiful, and I wish I had visited it, but it has nothing to do with Hogwarts!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did Rowling Write in Majestic Caf\u00e9 or Lello Bookstore?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many claim that J.K. Rowling wrote the first draft of <em>Harry Potter and the Sorcerer\u2019s Stone<\/em> on a napkin at Caf\u00e9 Majestic. However, Majestic was already an expensive place back in 1991, and Rowling lived on a tight budget. Additionally, while Lello Bookstore briefly served tea and coffee in the early 2000s, its low tables would have made writing uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><figure><figure><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tasteporto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Harry-Potter-Library-in-Porto-Majestic-Cafe.jpg\" alt=\"Porto Harry Potter Library\"><\/figure><\/figure><\/figure><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Beautiful Majestic Caf\u00e9<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/center>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did Portuguese Dictator Salazar Inspire Salazar Slytherin?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many believe Salazar Slytherin was named after Portugal\u2019s former dictator, Ant\u00f3nio de Oliveira Salazar. While Rowling has not confirmed this, <a href=\"http:\/\/yatrarollason.info\/files\/ROWLINGPORTOEN.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Professor Christopher Rollason pointed out the likely connection in his article <em>An English Teacher in Porto: In Search of Joanne Rowling<\/em><\/a>. Salazar ruled Portugal with an iron grip from 1933 to 1968, enforcing policies that kept literacy rates low \u2014 making him a fitting namesake for one of <em>Harry Potter\u2019s<\/em> darkest figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did Porto\u2019s Student Uniform Inspire Hogwarts\u2019 Attire?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Porto\u2019s university students wear traditional black cloaks, part of the <em>Praxe Acad\u00e9mica<\/em>, a tradition dating back centuries. Seeing them walking through the city does feel reminiscent of Hogwarts students. Though the books don\u2019t reference crests and colors like the movies do, Rowling, who was involved in the films, may have drawn inspiration from this local tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><figure><figure><figure><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tasteporto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Harry-Potter-Library-in-Porto.jpg\" alt=\"Harry Potter Library in Porto\"><\/figure><\/figure><\/figure><\/figure><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">University Students from the Faculty of Arts<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/center>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did Escovaria de Belomonte Inspire Harry Potter\u2019s Broomsticks?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2016, some have claimed that Harry Potter\u2019s broomsticks, like the Nimbus 2000, were inspired by the brooms sold at Escovaria de Belomonte, a traditional brush shop in Porto. While no official confirmation exists, the resemblance between the shop\u2019s handcrafted brooms and those described in <em>Harry Potter<\/em> adds to the intrigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Fonte dos Le\u00f5es the Inspiration for Gryffindor\u2019s Symbol?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A newer myth claims that <em>Fonte dos Le\u00f5es<\/em> (the Lion\u2019s Fountain) inspired Gryffindor\u2019s house emblem. Some locals even argue that the statues depict griffins rather than lions. However, the figures lack the eagle\u2019s head and talons of a true griffin, resembling instead the winged lion symbol of Venice. Rowling, well-versed in mythology, would not have confused the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><figure><figure><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tasteporto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Harry-Potter-Library-in-Porto-Portugal.jpg\" alt=\"Porto Harry Potter Library\"><\/figure><\/figure><\/figure><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lion\u2019s Fountain in Porto<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/center>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The real story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Harry Potter<\/em> was conceived in 1990 during a train ride between Manchester and London, where Rowling first imagined a young boy with glasses and a lightning-shaped scar. Over the next few years, she developed her ideas, scribbling notes wherever she could. <br><br>When she moved to Porto to teach at Encounter English, she brought her dreams with her and the city became part of her story. In Porto, she taught English, wrote, drank coffee, married a local journalist, had a daughter, and got divorced. The city was a chapter in her life, but it didn&#8217;t birth Hogwarts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the apartment where she stayed, Rowling met her housemates: Aine Kiely from Ireland and Jill Prewett from England. If you&#8217;re familiar with the Harry Potter books, you might recognize these names. In <em>Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban<\/em>, the third book in the series, there&#8217;s a dedication that reads: &#8220;For Jill Prewett and Aine Kiely, the godmothers of Swing&#8221;. Swing was a club in Porto where they all spent time together. So, yes: Porto left a mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the end of her marriage, the writer returned to the UK with the first three chapters of<em> Harry Potter and the Philosopher&#8217;s Stone<\/em> in her suitcase. Rowling has said that this union gave her the greatest gift of her life: her daughter, Jessica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The book was eventually published in 1997 under the name J.K. Rowling, as her publisher believed that a feminine name, like Joanne, might deter the book&#8217;s target audience: boys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though Rowling has publicly denied the connection with Lello Bookstore, the myth continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Does the Myth Persist?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe because people love a good story; because tourists want magic, not nuance; and because <a href=\"https:\/\/tasteporto.com\/is-lello-bookstore-the-most-beautiful-in-porto\/\">Livraria Lello feels like it should be part of the Harry Potter universe<\/a>. For many, that&#8217;s enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should You Still Visit the Porto Harry Potter Library?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if it didn&#8217;t inspire Hogwarts, <em>Livraria Lello<\/em> remains a must-visit destination for its historical and architectural significance. <a href=\"https:\/\/tasteporto.com\/5-charming-bookstores-in-porto-beyond-lello-bookshop\/\">However, if you want to avoid the lines at the Porto Harry Potter Library, the city has other gems \u2014 smaller, quieter, and just as charming<\/a>. In the end, that&#8217;s where the real magic happens \u2014 not in myths or tourist traps, but in the quiet corners where real stories are born.<br><br>And since you\u2019re already in a reading mood, why not explore another side of Portuguese culture?
