What people say
Megan Arzbaecher
"The large burial plots and ornamental tombstones, along with the eerie atmosphere, also likely inspired some of Rowling’s darker themes. Its appearance is reminiscent of the graveyard featured in book four where Lord Voldemort is resurrected, as well as the graveyard in Godric’s Hollow, the resting place of Harry’s parents. Additionally, the most famous tombstone in Greyfriars Kirkyard is Thomas Riddle, who died in 1806. Yes, he was a real person, although all Harry Potter fans know this is the name of ‘He who must not be named’. 200 years later, this name would inspire one of literature’s most famous villains!"
