Diagon Alley Shops
1.Pottidge's Cauldron Shop: This shop, the closest one to the entrance from the alley behind the Leaky Cauldron, sells all sorts of cauldrons. 2.Slug & Jiggers Apothecary: A fascinating shop crammed with all sorts of interesting things. There are barrels of slimy stuff lined up on the floor and jars of all sorts of powders, herbs, and the like along the walls. Bundles of feathers, fangs, and claws hang from the ceiling. The whole place smells very bad, a mixture of bad eggs and rotten cabbage. Employees: Susan Bones, owner. Maeve Sheridan, potioneer. 3.Millamant's Magic Marquees: Specializing in large signs for special occasions. 4.Owl Post Office: At least three hundred owls, from Great Grays to tiny Scops (for Local Deliveries Only), wait to carry messages. They sit on shelves that are color-coded, depending on how fast you want your letter to get to its destination. 5.Terrortours: The best of best when it comes to magical travel holidays. Terrortours advertises that they offer "action holidays for the wizard family with a sense of adventure!" Some of their tours include: Transylvanian castles for rent, with the host a guaranteed vampire; a trip down the "Zombie Trail" where you can come "face to face with the living dead!"; and a cruise through the Bermuda Triangle where you'll see the remains of ships that "didn't spot the monster." Terrortours accepts no responsibility for death or injury. 6.Quality Quidditch Supplies: Selling the best brooms and other Quidditch related products and books. 7.Eeylops Owl Emporium: A dimly lit shop which, according to the sign, sells tawny, screech, barn, brown, and snowy owls. This shop also sells owl related products and treats. 8.Scribbulus Everchanging Inks: This store sells ink, quills, and parchment. 9.Sonorous Spells: A shop that boasts members of the Weird Sisters among its clients, the shop provides wizards and witches with magical musical instruments and accessories, as well as a wide selection of Wizarding music and a small selection of mundane instruments. Beginner lessons in many instruments available upon request, and due to the requests of neighboring shops, the shop has recently been soundproofed. 10.Flourish & Blotts: A large wizarding bookshop filled with shelves stacked to the ceiling, Flourish & Blotts is the primary supplier of textbooks for Hogwarts, though of course that's far from all they sell. The shop holds occasional book-signings, and sells books via owl in addition to books purchased in-store. They also take advance orders for books that are in high demand.Employees: Eloise Midgen, clerk. 11.The Lucky Bakery: Owned and operated by the Capper family for three generations, it's still a Capper family operation specializing in baked goods, coffee, and breads. ` 12.Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions: Though far from the only wizarding clothier around, Madam Malkin's seems to be the best, as it is the place where most Hogwarts students purchase their robes. In addition to selling school robes, they also sell robes which are "spangled, beautifying, slimming, fattening, lengthening," and "temperature-adjusting" and they carry robes made by Whopperwear "for the outsize witch or wizard." A later advertisement states that every robe sold at the store is "self-ironing and repairing" as well. 13.Two Happy Squids: Probably the most affordable place in Diagon Alley, Two Happy Squids is a Chinese takeaway. What makes them unique (and wallet friendly) is the fact they only offer 2 dishes per day, both at one flat price of 10 sickles. The plate is big and full but the deal is you get what you get and you like it. No, really, you'll like it. Owner guarantee* (*guaranteed so long as you don't ask for money back). Formerly the site of Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour 14.Martini's Night Club: Formerly Shalott, purchased by Argus Pyrites after the original cafe here was boarded up and deserted at the beginning of the war, Martini's is now owned by Pansy Corner. It is a popular bar in the heart of Diagon. It has a vibrant, fun atmosphere. On top the usual fair of drinks they also offer a large selection of cocktails and shooters at reasonable prices, including the 'Seven Deadly Sins' ; 7 cocktails served in tiny test tubes.Pansy has a small office in the back which is ruthlessly organised and whilst the staff might look like they were hired purely on look, they're smart enough to know when someone's too drunk to know the difference between 2 galleons and 20 galleon glass of whisky. And change it. 15.Twilfit & Tatting's: An upscale clothing shop. Fittings are by appointment only and items are too expensive for the average witch or wizard. 16.Gringott's Wizarding Bank: This large, white marble building dominates Diagon Alley. Employees: Delaney Twilfitt and Belinda Tatting, managers. 17.Tea and Sympathy: Madame Cake has been predicting gloom and doom for twenty years. But she has been brewing a fine cuppa for even longer. Stocked with a fair selection of all divinations tools and accessories, Tea and Sympathy is the shop for all Diviners, wannabes and those curious about the mysteries of the mysterious future. Or anyone just looking for interesting conversation and a great pot of darjeeling. Employees: Stephen Cornfoot, assistant manager and deviner. Merlin Toke, deviner. 18.Pumpkins R Us: A small family-owned shop specializing in home grown vegetables and all types of supplies for the gardening witch or wizard. Pumpkins R Us also offers a de-gnoming service for a moderate charge. Owned by Dagbert Pips. 19.Daily Prophet Offices: The headquarters of the Daily Prophet are located in this office building in Diagon Alley, as the newspaper instructs that letters to the editor should be sent here by owl. 20.Magical Menagerie: A very crowded pet store, noisy with the sounds of all the animals. The proprietor is a witch who wears heavy black spectacles. She offers animal advice and sells things like rat tonic and other pet related items. 21.Whizzhard Books: This small publishing house specializes in Quidditch related books and is particularly known for it's bestseller Quidditch Through the Ages. 22.Gambol & Japes: This shop sells a wide variety of tricks and practical joke items. They are the main competitor of the new Weasley Wizard Wheezes which opened near them in the alley. 23.Obscurus Books: The publishers of many well-known wizarding titles, Obscurus publishes many books which end up as textbooks at Hogwarts. Possibly best known for publishing the bestseller Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them. 24.Twice-Tried Threads: When you don't have the fund for new robes, this charming second-hand robe shop is your best option. 25.Odds & Ends: A small shop that's changed hands frequently over the years, Odds & Ends is casually referred to as a junk shop, but for the persistent shopper with a keen eye, there are occasional treasures to be found amongst the trash. Open late, Odds & Ends guarantees that it will buy anything anyone can sell, as one man's trash is another man's treasure. All sales are final, no refunds, returns, or exchanges. Complaints will be ignored. Employees: Emma Dobbs, clerk. 26.Madam Primpernelle's Beautifying Potions: A small family owned shop that helps witches remove "warts and worse." 27.Ollivander's: *Currently Closed and Boarded Up* 28.Mnemosyne Clinic for Memory Modification: Helping witches and wizards find their marbles since 1426, the Mnemosyne Clinic will help you fix up your faulty memories. 29.Weasley Wizard Wheezes: Opened in 1996 following a successful owl-order business, the Weasley twins' shop is easily one of the most lucrative shops in the alley. Employees: Fred and George Weasley, owners. 30.Gladrags: Clothier, with additional shops in Hogsmeade and Paris. 31.Arkie Alderton's Kwik-Repair Shop: Owned by well known broomstick designer Arkie Alderton, this small repair shop is the best place to take broomsticks in need or repair. Employees: Fergus O'Rourke, manager.
Knockturn Alley Shops
32.Timeless Treasures: Timeless Treasures is respectable sort of mixture between Borgin & Burke's and the Odds & Ends shop on Diagon Alley. Here, one can find all sorts of wonderful bits and pieces, not only decorative, but practical as well. If you want it, it is rare for you to not find it here. 33.Society for the Tolerance of Vampires: The S.T.V.'s London Office is small and lit only by candles. This is an informational office, though they see very little traffic. Office managers are generally very pale and preference is given to those allergic to garlic. 34.Arachnida:The store is dark, and the windows are blacked out, the only thing visible from the alleyway is a weather worn sign that once was a vibrant purpler with gold letters reading "Arachnida". Inside the shop, it's very very dark and the sound of scratching, clicking, and hissing fills the store typically overpowering the auditory senses and usually freaking out customers that don't really want to be there. The store is so dark that the spiders are initially hard to see, cages line the walls some of them rattling others making noises. Upon closer inspection, it's easy to see that majority of the cages are empty, and the giant spiders actually roam through the store freely. How the shop owner controls them is questionable, but they seem to respect and in most cases keep their distance when she is near. There is a distinct smell about the store, something coppery and bitter which leaves a sour taste in the mouths of customers - almost like dry blood and decaying flesh. This shop is run by Allison Karas (the disguise of fugitive Alecto Carrow.) 35.Society for the Reformation of Hags: Established in 1700, this office has changed little since it's opening. Services are offered here to help hags function in average magical society. Unfortunately, since very few hags are interested in reforming, the society does very little. 36. Available for purchase. 37.Borgin & Burkes: The most notorious of the alley's shops, which specializes in "objects with unusual and powerful properties" and particularly items that are both "unusual and ancient." The shop is quite large, dusty, and dimly lit, with a large stone fireplace. Its proprietors are smooth talkers known to buy magical objects for much less than they're worth, and sell them for far more. 38. *shrunken heads* 39. Available for purchase. 40.Curmudgeon's Cauldrons and Apothecary: Specializing in potions and potion-making materials that might be less available elsewhere, this shop is also rumored to have quite a few poisoned every day materials readily available. 41. Available for purchase. 42. Available for purchase. 43.Future site of Blaise Zabini's Casion, Zabini's. 44.Diamond: A tall, cold looking building with no visible door, Diamond is an ultra exclusive Members Only club. A one year membership to this posh club includes full access to their, allegedly, numerous lounges, rooms and collections. Some even say that it has it's own spa. All expenses are covered by the initial (exorbitant) member fee. But being loaded won't help you get in; you have to be invited by one of the owners or another member, and these members are very particular about who they invite. The membership card, supposedly, is a charmed ring with a small diamond in it, granting the wearer literal access to the club.Employees: Braxton Derrick and Astrophel Fleetwood, owners. 45.Inkwell: Labelling itself a tattoo parlour, Inkwell is really more of a two story body modification business. Music is always playing, usually from bands that happen to be friends of the artists, the walls are covered in examples of work, ideas, suggestions and murals the staff create when they get bored. Muggle and magical versions of modifications are all offered, tattoos, piercings, implants and even charms (both temporary and permanent) are available for a price. Because nothing impresses the ladies more than a dragon flying across your chest. 46.Moribund's: A dusty little shop that has been a part of Knockturn for near 60 years, it's known for it's selection of rare and hard to find books, most of which delve into the Dark Arts. The shop keeps odd hours, constantly changing their opening and closing times and often closing for the unexpected break. It's very hard to catch the shop open without being a regular or someone in the know. Employees: Trevor Scabior, owner. 47.The Troll's Head: Dark and dingy, the Troll's Head is not a typical pub crawl stop. It's a pub for the serious drinker or anyone who just wants the chance to be themselves with nobody taking a second glance. It's usually filled with an assortment of unsavory characters running the gamut from humans to hags, vampires, werewolves and goblins. When the sun goes down the quiet atmosphere often changes thanks to the many goblin brawls that ensue after a few drinks. It has earned it's nickname the Bloody Head for that very reason.
Memorial Alley Shops
48.The Velveteen Rabbit: A bookshop owned and operated by Mandy Brocklehurst which sells a variety of magical and muggle books, mostly literature, both new and secondhand. 49.Sugarush Confectionary: This large sweets shop is giving Honeydukes a run for its galleons, specializing not just in sweets but also in treats like home-brewed sodas and fresh pasties. 50.Siren's Song: One of the newer shops on the block, the Siren's Song offers the best of both magical and muggle music as well as instruments and lessons. The cozy shop is plastered with posters and photos and prides itself on keeping pretension and elitism outside, the owner Mallory Capper keeps a close eye on any employees commenting on the 'coolness' of purchases. Open til midnight they feature half off on select CD's for the last hour of business.Employees: Mallory Capper, owner. Jack Sloper, clerk and music instructor. 51.The Information Booth: A tiny place located in the middle of Memorial Alley, the information booth is barely more than kiosk and the most helpful place you'll ever find. Guaranteed to have all the information you could need for mere knuts, the Information Booth is priceless. Whether you plan on asking where Shonky's is or what the weather is like in Uganda, the Information Booth will have the answer in a matter of moments. Any fact based question you could ask they promise they will have an answer for. It's manned by two deceivingly cute old sisters, Dotsie and Sadie. Despite their sometimes short answers they have incredible patience and will put up with all your ridiculous questions. Still...might be best not to push them. 52.Tuppence Swivel's: Tuppence Swivel, a now elderly and slightly eccentric character, opened his shop to share magical gadgets with others as obsessed as him. Triple-charmed anti-burglar systems, omnioculars, the finest sneakoscopes and collapsible, self-stiring cauldrons are all the type of items you'd expect to find in Swivel's. Besides just stocking the latest, greatest and often most ridiculous magical gadgets, Tuppence Swivel's also has fair rates on repair work. 53. Available for purchase. 54.Muggleborn Aide Offices 55.Lazy Sundae Ice Creamery: Opened to fill the gap left by the lack of Fortescue's, The Lazy Sundae hasn't built up the same reputation as the older ice creamery, but still has some delicious flavours. 56.Splinter and Kreek's: The best spot to buy your second-hand brooms. 57.Future Site of Ellie Cattermole's Magical Daycare Centre: TBA. Employees: Ellie Cattermole, owner and operator. Jill Sloper, attendant. 58.Prospero's Muse Art and Design Studio: Opened in September of 2003, Dean Thomas owns and operates this small independent art gallery. It shows mostly his work and that of other artists he knows, and sells a mix of muggle and charmed art pieces. In the studio space above the gallery, Dean works on commissioned portraits. 59.Underground: A club that is, like it's name says, underground. Like a Muggle dance club, Underground is for the young and the hip. Featuring the latest music and magically enhanced drinks. The line starts forming at nine and goes on almost until close. The best way to avoid the line though is to come frequently. You don't have to be famous, the bouncers here are good at letting familiar (to them) faces pass the velvet rope. 60.Memorial Park
