Do You Know the 7 Places in PORTO That Inspired HARRY POTTER? 🇵🇹

[@OneShotAdventures]

This is brilliant, I had no idea about these connections. I didn't even know JK Rowling spent so much time there. I had read about the Edinburgh connections before though, I visited her favourite cafe there. Really interesting video and well presented! Thanks for sharing

[@TripleP]

I definitely plan to go to Edinburgh at some point! What all connections are there? Really glad you enjoyed the video! 😄👍🏼 Any plans to visit Porto soon?

[@OneShotAdventures]

Triple P: People Places Palates the Elephant Cafe is a pretty famous one, plus the train in the highlands was the used for the Hogwarts Express in the films

[@TripleP]

@@OneShotAdventures : Awesome! Will do!

[@TomG1991]

@@TriplePmake sure you do the vault/ghost tours!

[@def1ghi]

I just got to Porto and as soon as we got off the train I thought, this place just feels... magical!

[@TripleP]

Absolutely! Porto is just such an amazing place. Very charming and yes as you said - magical! Have an amazing trip. I have another video out on 5 places to see in Porto incase you are interested. Link on the side :)

[@salazarway]

Hi, just loved the video and recomended it to a very close person :) This is just a theory, Slytherin may also be also related to the Sefirs (population that lived in the north and center of Portugal) and beside theyr tongue sound like a "sssssss"nake they also worship Dragons and Snakes, that inspired many in Portugal until today :D Just a theory

[@TripleP]

Hey Igor! 👋🏼 thank you so much for your reassuring comments! Really means a lot. Do subscribe for more travel inspiration. As for your theory - that is so fascinating! Had no idea! Thanks for sharing 😍👌🏼

That's fantastic to hear! Really glad you enjoyed it! Are you a Harry Potter fan too? 😍

[@EricExplores]

Nice video Surya. Love the hat! I never knew Portugal inspired Harry Potter so much. Thanks for this informative guide :)

[@TripleP]

Thanks so much Eric! Glad you enjoyed it. Have you ever been to Porto? Are you a Harry Potter fan in general? 😄

[@TravelingGraces]

Love that you add so much fun personality and info to this!... and I had no idea about these inspirations!

[@TripleP]

Thanks a lot! 😄 Are you also a Harry Potter fan? Which fact from the Harry Potter inspirations surprised you the most? 😍

[@alexteachesromanian]

I'm currently reading the last book. I saw the movies many times. This clip was very interesting, I didn't know a lot of this facts. 💙

[@TripleP]

That's awesome! I love the Harry Potter series. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and learnt something new 😄👍🏼❤️ Thanks for watching!

[@AlejandrosAdventures]

I really like the outfits on number 3 and the torre the los clérigos is so cool

[@TripleP]

Thanks Alejandro :) Appreciate it! Are you a big Harry Potter fan too? Been to some of these places in Porto?

[@AudroneStorm]

Cool video! I love Harry Potter books but I have never heard of those places and people that are inspiration for the books. Thanks for sharing.

I'm so glad you liked the video! Thanks a ton. If you are interested in more travel inspiration, do subscribe. Appreciate it :)

[@MissLollilol222]

I'm Portuguese and hearing her pronounce every single place with a Spanish accent really made me cringe. People need to understand that Portuguese and Spanish are two different languages, we might have similarities but accent is not one of them. Portuguese and Spanish don't have a good history together so please don't ever mix Spanish and Portuguese because both ethnicities won't appreciate it

[@TripleP]

Hey Andréa, Firstly thank you for your message. I will take it as constructive criticism and work to improve my accent depending on what I am presenting. It is true that yes I speak Spanish and not Portuguese But at the same time I would like to point out that you did not mention anything except the language aspect. It would be nice if you could've also said something about the content, videography, effort, etc instead of only focussing on the one element you didn't appreciate. But thank you for your input and will look to improve in the future. :)

[@MissLollilol222]

@@TripleP i did in fact really enjoy this video and i'm happy that you had a good time in my country, i just didn't state it because all the comments i saw where positive. Of course when it comes to the accent, I don't blame you in particular, most people make the mistake of mixing the two languages. By the way, did you know that if you buy a book at the Livraria Lello, you get your entrance price deduced from the price of the book itself. The library used to be free but many people came and didn't buy anything so the owners are doing this to get a bit of money from the visitors that come and don't buy anything :)

[@TripleP]

@@MissLollilol222 Thats great to hear :) Im glad you liked it. And dont worry I will improve my accent for sure. I am actually going to be in Lisbon and Lagos beginning April making more videos actually. Will of course be taking day trips to other places as well (Sintra, Coimbra, Ribeira do Cavalo Beach . . . Portimao, Albufeira, Pera). Very excited. Where in Portugal do you stay? And regarding the book at Livraria Lello, I did know about that, but unfortunately I didnt get as much as time as I would've wanted in the place to buy a book. But perhaps next time! :) Thanks though for sharing that tip. Very nice of you. Also if you do enjoy my content, would kindly ask you to subscribe to my channel. Trying to grow it. Much appreciated! :)

[@MissLollilol222]

@@TripleP My hometown is called Tavira and it's very close to Faro. If you can go there, please go. It's a bit small but the center of the town is quite historical, and you can actually go to the beach on a boat since the beach we go to is place on a island. Oh and by the way, all university students in Portugal have to wear this uniform, but it's true that she probably got inspired by the Porto students since that's where she used to live :)

[@TripleP]

Oh wow Tavira! I did check it out on Google and looks beautiful. :) Will definitely try my best to head there! Thanks again for the tips and suggestions :)

[@njg41]

Hey there your video is very informative , watching it now since I am headed to Porto and Lisbon soon , thanks for the insights on the historic sights and famous and some off beat landmarks , any suggestions on nightlife neighbourhoods in these cities? Also a fun fact about Diagon Alley is that it's highly inspired from an alley from a town called York, the Shambles not a big potter buff but just happen to know when I visited there. BTW m from Chennai too , Keep up the great work!

[@TripleP]

Hey! First of all thanks for such a motivational comment. Always appreciate that. As for best neighborhoods for nightlife in Porto I would suggest: Porto downtown. Has a huge happening scene. Core of nightlife. I also have another video on my channel on things not to miss in Porto. Do check that out. As for your fun fact, I didn’t know that! Awesome! Thanks for letting me know 😍

[@AthertonTravels]

Harry Potter and Porto? Who knew? I've been to Porto and spend most of my time drinking port rather than thinking about Potter. haha

[@TripleP]

Haha yeah! Lots of people didn't know about the Porto connections. Glad you got to see something new!

[@emma_ordinary_vlog]

I'm Portguese and a HUGE Potterhead I never felt so attatch and so close to Harry Potter more than I am right now......J.K . Rowling's is a truly goddess!!!!!

[@TripleP]

Totally agree with you!!! I love Harry Potter as well ❤️ it was an important part of my childhood growing up.. will always love it 😀

[@josepeixoto3384]

Wow, i see that,but i don't care about any fabulastic unreal ideas that someone spitted out and wrote... it's just outdated, like the movies from Hollyweed... see and FORGET; nothing good comes out of that E V E R , but i know people stay on the path, until bigger and better things come up.

[@Duck-wc9de]

the Lello bookstore was about to close. with so many harry potter fan visitors, customers were unable to buy books. then the entrance is paid, but if you buy a book, you have a discount equal to the entrance price. so if you want to visit, buy a book and end up paying nothing. the bookstore also has other things worth seeing. as very rare books, one of the first editions of "os lusíadas" the most important portuguese book, from 1600's and the first edition of the "mensagem" another extremely famous book in portugal. in fact, when it was on display, people came from all over the country just to see it. at least that's what they told me.

[@PhiloSoso]

Oh wow, this is so interesting! I love it so much! and your voice is really cute :3 c/t

[@TripleP]

Thanks Sophie! 😄 Are you also a Harry Potter fan? Which fact from the Harry Potter inspirations surprised you the most? 😄

[@PhiloSoso]

Yes I am! although not a hardcore fan XD Surprising... hm... I found the library really cool! Hard to believe that there is a place like that in real life! :)

[@Phillipe-sb6ls]

I'll give a quick rundown of what truly did inspire Rowling, even to a small degree, and what didn't. True: --The robes at universities --António Salazar (Although part the Slytherin founder's name originates here, it is, I think, a bit of a stretch to say that he was primarily based on Portugal's Salazar. It's just that the guy is now seen as a bad dude--being a fascist dictator leads to that--and that his name has an appropriately sibilant kind of sinisterness to it.) --Majestic Café (This is actually the correct syntax, though it does follow the English adjective + noun order. Also, while Rowling has mentioned writing here, the place has always been ridiculously expensive, so it's hard to believe that a humble English teacher, who would go on to live on public assistance when she returned to the UK, would have been a regular there.) Not true: --Well, obviously everything else. And that includes Livraria Lello, a place Rowling noted on Twitter that she had never visited. My source for all this: JK Rowling herself.

[@cecithegoat]

hello i live in porto and salazar number 7 , dont lived in porto but yes in portugal the coutry thanks

[@Svenywhere]

@@TripleP You definitely shouldn't miss this place! It is from the graphic designers that did for example the Daily Prophet in the movies.
