J. K. Rowling taught English as a second language in the very hilly town of Porto and it was here where she built the foundations for her first 3 Harry Potter books so Laura and I just had to investigate. Look and judge for yourselves.
Won't Voldemort feel right at home here? These were from the catacombs of Sao Francisco church. The bones we can see through a floor grill. Different skulls sat atop the tombs. Remember the statue of Voldemort? Really morbid down in that cold graveyard that I was afraid to utter Voldemort's name or he might show up.
Rowling spent a lot of time in this book shop. It was her inspiration for the library in Hogwarts. Maybe conjured up the moving staircases from these curvy steps.

Students coming out of school. Notice they only have one leg. We had to take the train on station 9 3/4 to get here.
