Check your balance in the Gringotts vault!
Gringotts is the only bank in the British wizarding world, located in Diagon Alley and run entirely by goblins. The snow-white building stands out in the middle of the street, and its underground vaults extend for miles beneath London. Every vault is protected by powerful enchantments — and the high-security vaults are guarded by dragons.
Harry Potter first visited Gringotts at the age of eleven, accompanied by Hagrid, who came to collect the Philosopher's Stone from vault 713. Years later, Harry, Ron and Hermione carried out the famous Gringotts break-in to retrieve the Hufflepuff Cup — a Horcrux hidden in the Lestrange vault — escaping on the back of a blind dragon.
The bank was founded by a goblin named Gringott. The best-known goblin in the books is Griphook, who helped Harry in the break-in but ultimately betrayed him.
Newton "Newt" Scamander is an English magizoologist and former Hufflepuff student at Hogwarts, where Albus Dumbledore was his teacher. Passionate about magical creatures since childhood, he wrote the famous textbook Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, first published in 1927 and required reading at Hogwarts for Care of Magical Creatures.
In the real world, J.K. Rowling wrote this companion book in 2001 for Comic Relief. Newt's story was later expanded into three films: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016), The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018), and The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022), with Eddie Redmayne as Newt.

The Harry Potter saga is a series of seven fantasy novels written by British author J.K. Rowling. The stories follow the young wizard Harry Potter and his life at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he makes lifelong friendships and faces the dark wizard Lord Voldemort, who murdered his parents.
The first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, was published on 26 June 1997 by Bloomsbury in London. Since then, the series has sold over 600 million copies worldwide, been translated into more than 80 languages, and become the best-selling book series in history.
The idea for Harry Potter came in 1990, during a delayed train journey from Manchester to London. It was on that trip that the story began to take shape in Rowling's mind.
Between 1991 and 1993, J.K. Rowling lived in Porto, Portugal, where she taught English as a foreign language. It was during this time that she began writing the first chapters of Philosopher's Stone. Places like Livraria Lello (with its famous red staircase), Café Majestic on Rua de Santa Catarina, and the University of Porto are often cited as possible sources of inspiration for the world of Hogwarts.
Rowling married Portuguese journalist Jorge Arantes in Porto in 1992. Their daughter Jessica was born in 1993, shortly before Rowling returned to Edinburgh, where she finished the first book as a single mother, writing in cafés while her daughter slept.
Curiously, the book was rejected by 12 publishers before finally being accepted by Bloomsbury in 1996 — largely thanks to the editor's eight-year-old daughter, who read the first chapter and immediately wanted to know what happened next.
The seven books were published between 1997 and 2007:
The saga was adapted into 8 films (2001–2011) by Warner Bros., starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. The films grossed over $7.7 billion at the box office.
Today, the Warner Bros. Studio Tour in Leavesden, near London, is one of the UK's most visited tourist attractions, allowing fans to explore the real sets where the films were made — including the Great Hall, Diagon Alley, and Platform 9¾.
In Portugal, the books are published by Editorial Presença, with their own European Portuguese translation (different from the Brazilian translation by Rocco).
This website was born from the wish of a 10-year-old boy from Benfica, Lisbon, called Vasco, who wanted to collect and compare Harry Potter book covers from different countries.
What started as a simple cover gallery grew — on the very same day, 15 March 2026 — to include a favourites system, a magical knowledge quiz (the N.E.W.T.s), a wand shop (Ollivanders), a fantastic beasts encyclopaedia, an interactive spells area, Platform 9¾, a magical journal, and much more.
Created with the help of artificial intelligence by Vasco's father, emot, using OpenCode (plus an LLM) and hosted on Cloudflare.
The site features 184 covers from 12 countries (Portugal, United Kingdom, USA, Spain, France, Germany, Brazil, Japan, South Korea, China, Italy and Turkey), includes 40 interactive spells with Latin etymology, 15 wands, 20 magical creatures, 52 collectible cards (including real scientists), 2 mini-games (Quidditch and Basilisk), duels with 14 opponents, and much more.
