Diagon Alley

In J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter fiction novels and their filmed adaptations, Diagon Alley is a large alleyway in London accessible to witches and wizards but hidden from Muggles. It appears to be the economic hub of Britain's sparse Wizarding World. It is home to Ollivander's, makers of magic wands since 382 BC and likely the country's primary supplier, as well as the goblin-run Gringotts Bank. Other establishments include the Flourish & Blott's bookstore, Eeylops' Owl Emporium, Quality Quidditch Supplies and The Leaky Cauldron Inn. For those shopping for Hogwarts equipment, Diagon Alley serves all needs. Gringotts operates a money-changing service for the Muggle-born.
Entrance by foot is shown to be done by going through the Leaky Cauldron (invisible to Muggles) and tapping the bricks of a wall behind it with a wand and in a certain order. Given the busyness of the area, travelling to and from the Alley is likely typically done by more magical means. In the first film (2001), Diagon Alley appears to be a short walk away from Leadenhall Market in the City of London.
The name seems a possible pun on "diagonally"; evidence for that can be found in the movie version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002). The DVD of that movie includes a video "guided tour" of Diagon Alley, apparently shot on the original movie sets.
Leading off of Diagon Alley is the dark and dingy Knockturn Alley - much the same, only Dark.ja:ダイアゴン横丁 pt:Diagon-Al
