The ateneo Grand Splendid, used to be a thatre and was turned into a bookshop in the early 2000s. I went two times and it's beautiful. The stage has been turn into a café where you can sit and read books without buying them. It's really amazing

[@leirumf5476]

Jack's impression of Tom Holland is spot on😶

As someone who lives in Portugal, Lello library is honestly gorgeous but now a days because of tourism (due to the fact that the iconic Harry Potter staircase is inspired by the one on this library) 98% of the books are just Harry Potter content.

So the second bookstore is apparently where J.K. Rowling wrote a good amount of some of the Harry Potter books but no one can confirm it. They also say she got the idea for the gowns in Harry Potter from the kids that go to school in Portugal, if you Google it you’ll see

[@ruieito]

I was just about to say the same thing!😂 i was like that’s Portugal because jk rowling. I think there’s a tour video about the bookstore I just forgot from who.😅

The part about the gowns is true. The part about the bookstore is false (JK confirmed it in a tweet, she has never been to that bookstore actually 😂). She has lived in Portugal that's true. The place where she "wrote a good amount of some of the Harry Potter books" is "Cafe Majestic" (you can Google it, it's really beautiful!).

When I saw the title I just knew that el Ateneo Grand Splendid was going to show up. It's a beautiful beautiful place. But nonetheless, as a reader I prefer to buy in independent bookstores and Buenos Aires has so many options to offer. Don't know how accurate this peace of trivia is, but I think that the city is one of the cities with most bookshops per capita in the world.
