You got an acceptance letter from Hogwarts, but don’t know where to do your school shopping. Then come and I’ll tell you. Of course, Diagon Alley. So what is this Diagon Alley? This is the street of magic. It is the heart of wizarding in London. Also, this place is hidden from Muggles. How to get there? You have three options. They are The Leaky Cauldron, floo powder, and apparition. The Leaky Cauldron is a bar and hotel, floo powder is for teleportation, and apparition is for teleportation as well. Who is Diagon Alley for? It’s for wizards and students of magic.

What can you buy?
All sorts of Wizarding equipment. For example, you can buy a wand, magical creatures, broom, gown, cauldron. There are many shops on this alley. These are the stores: Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes, Madam Malkin’s Robes for All Occasions, Gambol and Japes Wizarding Joke Shop, Broomstix, Eeylops Owl Emporium, Ollivanders.

Where can you buy your wand?
Absolutely Olivander’s Wand Shop. These wands have a magical bond and sentience. You can’t choose your wand; your wand must choose you; this is reciprocal selection. Weird, right? But it didn’t happen like this when Harry Potter was buying his wand, since the phoenix that gave Harry’s wand a feather had previously given another feather, and that feather was in Voldemort’s wand. The bond between Voldemort and Harry was reflected in their choice of wand.

Where will you find the money to buy all this?
Of course, Gringotts Wizarding Bank. This place is run by goblins. It’s a bank with maximum security. You can put your galleons and sickles, and also stash your valuables. Only your key or the goblins can open the safe.
For this place, Hagrid says, “Tain’t no safer place, not one. Expect perhaps Hogwarts.” So much so that even Dumbledore was hiding secrets about Hogwarts here.
