Diagon Alley™ highlights on your Warner Bros. Harry Potter Studio tour
Diagon Alley is a popular part of the Studio Tour, and it's easy to see why. It was, after all, the one-stop shop for every witch and wizard before a new semester began. Recreated within the sets are some of the most famous shops that you've probably read and dreamt about visiting. Here's a glimpse of what you can expect to see:
Gringotts Wizarding Bank
The Gringotts Wizarding Bank, complete with its goblin guards and dragon-drawn carriage entrance, is sure to impress. Gringotts is where wizards store their money. This is where Harry discovers his parents left him a considerable sum, mostly gold.
Ollivanders Wand Shop
It is here that Harry acquires his first-ever wand. And just like him, you might experience the magic of a wand choosing you, just like Harry! Ron's wand in the fourth year and Neville's in the sixth also likely come from Ollivander's. You can also learn why Ollivander disappeared.
Flourish and Blotts
Flourish and Blott's Bookstore is so stuffed with spell books that it needs magic to keep its shelves upright. This magical bookstore boasts shelves upon shelves of fantastical tomes, including Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions
Here, you'll find Hogwarts robes in all sizes, ready to take you to your first term at the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Here, Harry encounters Draco. Harry and Hermione cross paths with Narcissa Malfoy and Draco at this shop in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Quality Quidditch Supplies
Admire the gleaming Nimbus 2000 and Firebolt broomsticks on display, and imagine yourself soaring through the sky during a Quidditch match. Harry fantasizes about visiting Quality Quidditch Supplies, and the Firebolt he gets at Christmas in The Prisoner of Azkaban was bought here!
Leaky Cauldron
Peek through the pub's doorway to see the bustling interior, where you gather for a Butterbeer. The Leaky Cauldron is the link between Diagon Alley and Muggle London. According to Mrs. Weasley in The Chamber of Secrets, if you name Diagon Alley as your destination on the Floo network, you end up here.

Leadenhall Market
Leadenhall Market is a covered Victorian market and one of the oldest markets in London. The ornate 19th-century painted roof and cobbled floors of Leadenhall Market, located at the edge of London’s financial district, already feels magical, even before it was famous in the Harry Potter movies!
Remember Diagon Alley, the wizard shopping street where Hogwarts students can stock up on school supplies like spellbooks and wands? Well, parts of Leadenhall Market were used to film the first movie! That's where Harry and Hagrid walk through to get to the Leaky Cauldron pub through a blue door. If you visit Leadenhall Market today, you might recognize the blue door of an optics shop. In the Goblet of Fire, that was the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron! They only used Leadenhall Market for the first few movies, but for subsequent films, the location changed.
