![]() The Chamber of Secrets door has made countless appearances on Instagram, but when I ask around, no one seems to know who, exactly, was behind the masterpiece. ![]() This happens about three or four times when I visit Pinetti’s home for myself: an elusive icon overshadowed by other tourist attractions in the area, yet no less appreciated. “Do you know your Harry Potter?” he asks them with a boyish grin. He waits for his cue - a knowing double-take from a fan, a shriek of joy from someone’s kid - as they take in the familiar scene: seven iron-wrought snakes slithering over a brass plate on his door, shrouded in ivy. Each day, he encounters hundreds of international visitors as they tromp up the hill toward Fisherman’s Wharf or down to Lombard’s crooked street.
