Diagon Alley
Hidden magical street
Diagon Alley is a fictional shopping street in the Harry Potter series, hidden from ordinary people and accessible only to witches and wizards.
It's where young magic users buy wands, robes, and school supplies.
The name puns on "diagonally," reflecting the concealed, sideways nature of the magical world existing alongside the mundane.
