The year is 2018 and the wizarding world is getting ready to celebrate ten years since the fall of Voldemort. Despite a decade of peace, the world is not an idyll. There has always been crime, and Knockturn Alley is as full of suspicious characters as it ever was. Many of those directly involved with the Dark Lord have been arrested, but opportunists with less tarnished pasts have come up to take their places.
The established shopkeepers of Knockturn Alley deal in all that is frowned upon by the law-abiding citizens of the wizarding world. Pawnbrokers make deals with housebreakers and art forgers; potion brewers seek out smugglers as well as customers; gamblers and grifters swap stories.
Even those that seem above reproach have been known to walk down Knockturn Alley. Cursebreakers and obliviators who use their jobs as cover for turning a personal profit; Ministry employees who can be convinced to look the other way; adventurers who want something a little out of the ordinary.
Tired of this state of affairs, the Ministry is interfering. There's a new Knockturn Alley Liaison, set on 'cleaning up' the wizarding world's dirty little secret. How will a rush of new, legitimate, businesses affect this crooked criminal underworld? If you're eager to find out, follow the signs to Knockturn Alley.
