Welcome to Knockturn Alley! Though the street’s relevance in the Potterverse rhetoric has been a subject of intense debates, a walk through this boulevard is sure to create the feeling of being in a place that is not just…normal. Even though there is nothing particularly ‘off’ about the place, shops on the street resemble sophisticated flea markets, selling obscure trinkets and rare memorabilia that would be hard to source anywhere else. The soul of Cecil street would be right at home in Knockturn Alley. A bookstore that specializes in author-signed limited edition copies. A store that sells outdated world currency (with Gringotts banknotes in them) and war badges. A store that exclusively holds the collection of artifacts and rare copies of Alice in Wonderland. A bookshop that calls itself the world’s oldest occultist and mystic store. The list is endless!
