Diagon Alley has long been the major shopping center for all of those in the magical world. The Alley is probably dated back to ancient times. Here you can learn about this wonderful place for wizards to spend their time. *Please note that not all of this information has been stated correct by the books and that this was ALL originally written by The Owlery!*
How To Get To Diagon Alley.
First of all you need to get to the Leaky Cauldron. That's an old looking building in London that only people from the wizard world know about. Then, you leave the Leaky Cauldron through the back door and start counting bricks in a certain manner. When you have tapped the appropriate brick, the wall begins to whirl and opens a round entrance to the fantastic Diagon Alley. (Note: J.K. Rowling said the wall whirls and it, in fact, does not simply slide open like Chris Columbus showed us!)
