Harry Potter Diagon Alley

Introduction Part1

Who would have imagined that just off Charing Cross Road in London, England, was a secret magical location where the wizarding world goes to purchase flying broomsticks and potion ingredients, eat No Melt I've Cream, or attend a book signing, by their favorite author whose cover photo moves? Author J.K. Rowling envisioned this place, Diagon Alley, in her Harry Potter book series, which tells the story of an orphaned boy who discovers he's a wizard. In the first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry receives his acceptance letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and travels to Diagon Alley to get his school supplies.
