When Harry Potter first discovers that he is a wizard , he starts to learn that nothing in the Muggle domain is unfeignedly what it seems - and that there is a thriving wizarding world correctly underneath the Muggle ’s nose . Nowhere is this more manifest than in Diagon Alley , a cobbled street right in the midpoint of London , where witch and wizards can get everything they want ; from schoolhouse supplies to robes , to books and antic , to a lovely repast on a pavement patio .
The world of Diagon Alley is explore much more soundly in the books ( and of form , Pottermore and theHarry Pottergames and attractions ) than it is in the picture , though . In the films , fans are treated to a few abbreviated coup d’oeil into the shops here , and a few references to others , but the movies hardly scratch the surface . Even shops like Eyelops Owl Emporium are give only a brief bit in front of the camera - and there are lot of incredible places that fans would love to visit that do n’t even get that !
Obscurus Books & Whizz Hard Books
While a fair amount of time is spent inside Flourish and Botts , where Harry , Ron , and Hermione are able to get their school text ( and fit the loathsome Professor Lockhart for the first time ) , these are far from the only studious places in Diagon Alley . Obscurus Books is a newspaper publisher , famous for ' Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them ' have their office here , as do Whizz Hard Books , and the offices of the Daily Prophet can also be found here .
Sugar Plums Sweet Shop
The students of Hogwarts may fulfil their sweet tooths at Honeydukes during term - sentence , but Diagon Alley has a fresh shop as well . Sugar Plum ’s is London ’s solvent to Honeydukes , where witches and wizards ( of all years ) can stock up on Bertie Bott ’s Every Flavor Beans , Cauldron Cakes , and Chocolate Frogs . This must be a sorcerous place during term time , when adult witch and wizards can treat themselves in peace and hushed .
Gambol And Japes
Before there was Weasley ’s Wizarding Wheezes , where did Fred , George and their friend get their prank supplies ? Gambol and Japes , of grade .
The joke workshop is mentioned briefly , to explain where the male child have been to stockpile up before heading to Hogwarts , and there ’s a fantastic shot in Weasley ’s Wizarding wheeze , but many fans would have have intercourse a scene in both to compare the two .
Slug & Jiggers
Unlike the bright colors of sweet-smelling shops and joke shops , rooter can only think that Slug and Jiggers await a lot more like Snape ’s dungeons than anything . This shop is where crone and virtuoso can piece up potion supplying , and would have walls stocked with everything from mysterious jar of ingredients to plenty of plants and unusual particular that the Hogwarts students do n’t discover how to use .
Magical Menagerie
Like some of the other entries on this lean , the Magical Menagerie is reference in the films , but sports fan did n’t get the tantrum from the books that take spot in side . The Menagerie is a wizarding pet computer storage , of sorts , and it ’s where Hermione first find Crookshanks ( while Ron is looking for medicine for his pain ' stinker ' ) . lovely animals ? Dancing mice ? Magical tool of all pattern and size ? This would be a pet - lover ’s Shangri-la .
Terror Tours
Sure , a witch or wizard could just go off and explore as a muggle , or head to one of the other known wizarding spicy stain … but for the genuinely adventuresome wizarding vacationer , it ’s time to head to Terror Tours ( at 59 Diagon Alley ) .
This dangerous undertaking traveling agency promises to put magician in exciting locations , Bermuda Triangle cruise , vampire - possess castles , all kinds of uncanny and wonderful wizarding holiday .
Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlor
For many rule book fans , not flummox a good smell at Florean ’s in the moving-picture show was a criminal offence . The summer that Harry spent at the Leaky Cauldron saw him spoon up sweet treat at the sidewalk tables , and Florean himself had more of a tale in the serial . However , the picture show prefer not to focus on the eatery of Diagon Alley , alternatively pass time on the specific stores that Harry , Ron , and Hermione would apply to get their school supplies ( and of line , on Borgin and Burkes , where no Hogwarts student should be shop ! ) .
Junk Shop (And Second Hand Shops)
Many fans of the Harry Potter world have enquire what happens if Wiccan and wiz do n’t come across that they have been go forth with an enormous pile of gold in a Gringotts vault … new wand , new robes , new Koran - that must all total up .
However , there are plenty of second hand stores in Diagon Alley as well - where educatee can cull up what they need for a minuscule price . Of naturally , grownup witches and wizards must love these as well - the Junk Shop would be a must for any magical person who would love penny-pinching stores as a muggle …
Madam Primpernelle’s Beautifying Potions
There are pile of potion used in Harry Potter to do everything from re - get ivory to transubstantiate into someone else … but Madam Primpernelle has slightly less lofty end . Her Diagon Alley shop is all about charming cure for those witches and hotshot who just want to be a piffling more beautiful . Whether this looks like the wizarding combining weight of a pharmacy or a fancy solar day watering hole , fans would have loved to get a glimpse of this quoin of the wizarding worldly concern ( and to make out that even magic ca n’t always give someone on the button the look they desire ) .
Rosa Lee Teabag
There is one other tea shop that bewilder more of a mention in Harry Potter : Madam Puddifoots . However , this stead is described as a sorely frilly tea workshop , the sort of office where maven go for cloyingly precious dates or where elderly witches have good afternoon tea . Rosa Lee ’s tea store may have been something a bit unlike , however . The name is probable a play on the cockney rhyming slang for afternoon tea ( rosie lee ) , but that is all that has really been revealed about it . Perhaps this is a tea leaf shop that focuses more on the version of tea leafage , a place where Professor Trelawney would feel right at home … and that stocks magical teas , as well as the classic British cuppa ( which is witching in its own right hand ) .
