I do believe that the power of Instagram would have made people flock here since it is a truly unique bookstore. If this bookstore wasn’t known as Harry Potter’s Library, would it still be well visited? I believe so but not in the same way. Nothing major, but there is room for improvement if they want the real “Harry Potter experience”.Ĭome to think of one thing. If you start to really inspect the place, as I did – you might notice some “plastic fantastic” amongst the wooden details. But the whole place is incredible and jaw-dropping.

My favorite at this place were the white “heads” that they had glued to the back of some of the books. 35 dollars for a notebook is a bit much so I ended up leaving it there.Įnter a magical world at Harry Potter’s Library in Porto One of my closest friends loves Harry Potter and I found a notebook that I wanted to buy for her. The only thing I could compare with were the Lonely Planet travel guides and there were a few dollars added to the price tags. And the bookstore is more expensive (my opinion and not based on facts) than your regular bookstore. I can understand that they want to have some sort of entrance fee but I do feel that five euros are a bit too much. But at the same time isn’t five euros quite a lot to enter a store?

Sure, if you end up buying something in the store – you just show them your ticket and you get the five euros discount. I don’t like the fact that they charge you five euros to enter. You can buy the ticket online and then you show it at the door. First, you need to buy a ticket for five euros. There is a guard at the door to Harry Potter’s Library and it is not just for you to enter. This is one thing that made me react (and not in a positive way).
