[ ]Apothecary
One of many in Diagon Alley, the Apothecary is an excellent place to purchase potions supplies. Rather small and cramped, the ceilings over covered with large bundles of fangs, feaths and who knows what else. The shelves are lined with jars and baskets of ingredients. Random barrels are placed at different spots all over the shop, filled to the brim with large, dry potion ingredients. Students may come here to buy a basic set for Potions class.

[ ]The Cauldron Shop
Almost right next to Gringotts Wizarding Bank, is the only Cauldron Shop in Diagon Alley. All sorts of cauldrons of every size and material can be found here. Gold, Silver, Collaspable, Self-Stirring and many more. Hogwarts students are required to have at least a size two, pewter cauldron.

[ ]Eeylops Owl Emporium
About a third of the way down the street from the Leaky Cauldron, you'll find a small and dimly lit shop. Don't be surprised to find thousands of glowing eyes staring right at you. Here, students may purchase many of the different variety of owls. Barn, Tawny, Snowy, Screech and many more.

[ ]Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour
Probably one the brightest places in Diagon Alley, Fortescue's is definately the best place to get ice cream. The cheery front patio is scattered with round tables and brightly colored umbrellas. Inside, red and white booths line the walls.

[ ]Flourish and Blotts
Not the biggest shop in Diagon Alley, but definately one of the more popular shops, Flourish and Blotts is the biggest book shop in Diagon Alley. Filled to the brim with books on almost any subject in the Wizarding World. From Standard Book of Spells to the Monster Book of Monsters, you can find it here. The shop itself is rather small on the inside. Every wall lined with a book shelf for a display. The shop assistant would be glad to help you find the book you need. Students may come here to buy their school books for the year.

[ ]Gringotts Wizarding Bank
As soon as you pass through the passageway into Diagon Alley, the first thing you are bound to see is the towering, white marble building known as Gringotts Wizarding Bank. Wizards and Witches from all over the country store their money and rare valubles in highly secured vaults. It's one of the safest places in the world! Muggle-borns may also come here t exchange muggle money for wizarding money. Each character is permitted one account for their belongings and money. You may also deposit money for safe keeping in the bank.

[ ]Madame Malkin's Robes for All Occasions
Directly next door to Flourish and Blotts, is one of two robes shops in Diagon Alley. Madame Malkin's Robes for All Occasions is definately one of the best. Madam Malking, the owner and shopkeeper of the place, will be more than happy to help you search for robes for any occasion or necessity. It's rather crowded and full of racks. A designated area in the shop is where you can get fitted for a perfect sized robes. Students may come here to buy a set of robes for school.

[ ]Magical Menagerie
A few shops down the street from Gringotts, is the Magical Menagerie. From the outside, it would seem that the Menagerie is rather dark and noisy. But once you get inside, you would see that it isn't just dark and noisy. It's almost pitch black inside and the noise is like a merperson singing above ground. Hundreds of cages are found all over the shop, with cats of every color, extremely intelligent rats, fire-crabs, puffskeins and many more. The kindly bespectacled witch who runs the shop, would be more than happy to give you advice and tips about raising and caring for your magical pet.

[ ]Ollivander's
At the very end of Diagon Alley, iyou'll find a very shabby and narrow looking shop. A dusty purple pillow sits in the dirty display window with a single golden wand sitting on it. This is Ollivander's, Makers of Fine Wands since 382 BC. Inside, you'll find that the walls are covered, from floor to ceiling with boxes. Each containing a unique wand, waiting for their chosen witch or wizard. Mr. Ollivander, though weak and old, still runs the shop. Even after his ordeal with the Dark Lord during the Second War. Students may come here to purchase a wand.

[ ]Quality Quidditch Supplies
One of the major points of interest in Diagon Alley, is Quality Quidditch Supplies. Brightly colored and usually with a crowd of aspiring quidditch players oggling at the newest broom model on the market. The shops sells just about anything Quidditch related, from quaffles and bludgers to collaspable goal sets and full sets of Professional Team robes. Second year students and above may come here to buy a broom to try out for the house team.

[ ]Weasley's Wizard Wheezes
After seeing Gringotts, the most noticeable shop on the street is definately Weasey's Wizard Wheezes. Owned and opperated by Co-Founder, George Weasley. It was once also co-owned by George's twin brother, Fred but sadly, Fred was killed in the Last Battle at Hogwarts. George, now married with a daughter, lives in the flat above the shop. With the help of his assitants, George manages to keep the shop running. Numerous exciting and hysterical items can found among the shelves. Every one was invented by the Weasley Twins. Items ranging from Fainting Fancies and Puking Pastils to Invisibility Hats and Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder, almost every joking whim and Defense Against the Dark Arts item can be found here. Note, most items in this stop are on blanket ban from Hogwarts.
