- In case you haven't heard, Livraria Lello is the famous library that many people believe to have inspired JK Rowling's vision for Flourish and Blotts in Harry Potter. The most important thing I'm going to tell you about Livraria Lello is this: GO AT THE END OF THE DAY! This place gets absolutely packed and it's because it is STUNNING. If you are anything like me and you want to get some gorgeous pictures, it is in your best interest to show up right before closing time (which was 7:30 PM on this particular day, so I showed up around 6:30 PM.)
The image captures the ornate interior of a bookstore, featuring a grand staircase with a red carpet leading to a central archway, flanked by bookshelves on either side.
