Dark Arts establishments:
In 1998, with Voldemort fully in charge of the Ministry of Magic, a number of Diagon Alley shops closed, replaced by these nondescript shops devoted to the Dark Arts . Of course, even at other times, such shops exist just around the corner in Knockturn Alley, too .
Eeylops Owl Emporium:
A dimly lit shop which, according to the sign, sells tawny, screech, barn, brown, and snowy owls. Hagrid bought Hedwig here for Harry's eleventh birthday on July 31, 1991 . Harry also returned later to buy owl nuts - a favorite treat of Hedwig's .
Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour:
An ice cream parlor with outdoor tables, where Florean Fortescue served Harry free ice cream sundaes and offered advice about medieval witchcraft for a report he was writing . The shop was boarded up after Florean disappeared mysteriously in 1996 .
Flourish & Blotts:
A large wizarding bookshop filled with shelves stacked to the ceiling, Flourish & Blotts is the primary - and perhaps only - supplier of textbooks for Hogwarts, though of course that's far from all they sell. The shop holds occasional book-signings, such as when Gilderoy Lockhart stopped by in 1992 , and sells books via owl in addition to books purchased in-store. They also take advance orders for books that are in high demand, such as The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore .
In addition to the store's manager, who at times helps customers himself , the store also employs an assistant manager (paid 42 Galleons a month) and an assistant . The job is not altogether easy, as wizarding books might attempt to bite or simply be completely invisible , and fights - like the scuffle between Arthur Weasley and Lucius Malfoy that sent books raining down on everyone's heads - are apparently commonplace enough that a classified posting for a new assistant manager requires that he or she be "good at breaking up fights" .
Gambol & Japes:
This shop, a favorite of Fred and George, sells a wide variety of tricks and practical joke items. The twins bought Dr. Filibuster's Fabulous Wet-Start, No-Heat Fireworks here in 1992 , though of course four years later they were a direct competitor with their own joke shop, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, just down the road .
Gringotts Wizarding Bank:
A large white marble building and Diagon Alley fixture, staffed by goblins.
Junk shop
secondhand items
Full of broken wands, lopsided scales, etc., and a thin little book called Prefects Who Gained Power which caught Percy's eye .
