    I've decided to start a new thread devoted specifically to the Diagon Alley area of Universal Studios Orlando. It includes Diagon Alley, Carkett Market, Knockturn alley and all attractions and performers therein. It also includes the "London" areas just outside, from King's Cross station to Grimauld Place.

    Want a drink but don't have the cash? There's a conveniently-located pawn shop right next to the White Wyvern pub.

    Shouldn't have had those spicy burritos for dinner.

    At the Museum of Muggle Curousities, you can see unbelievable items such as televisions, microwaves and hoovers.

    Don't tell anyone, but the phone box is the entrance to the Ministry of Magic (if you know what number to dial).

    Here's a couple of pics from Diagon Alley I took today (5/20/21).

    For this close up, there was only blue sky behind the dragon so I took artistic license and...

    I was there a couple of times today and spent over an hour but no fire breathing happened. Really wanted a close up with fire!

    Disney may have the Back Side of Water, but Universal has the Left Side of Fire. (And also the front, back, right and under sides.)

    Sadly, I was not able to purchase any of these the day I was there. Could have used some Fire Protection down here in the Florida Sun.

    Look at that suit of armor - it's floating in mid-air. It's Magic!

    Some of the shops in Diagon Alley are really hard to find. Up this narrow alley are a healer and a clothing shop.

    They painted a sign right over the top of the sign. Maybe they didn't see the other sign because it's so dark.

    It's amazing what a long exposure in Knockturn Alley reveals. The part of Diagon Alley is extremely dark. Now we know that Fledermaus and Tanner is your source for bats and skins.

    Which are the villains and which are the heroes? It all depends on which side you're on.

    When a witch or wizard puts on a slide show, do they use a Magic Lantern?

    One good thing about the Knight Bus is that there's always someone to talk to.

    Ignotus Peverell negotiates with the Spirit of Death? Will it end well? Read the book!

    Antioch Peverell, one of the two brothers of Ignotus, brags about the invincible elder wand that he got from Death. Unfortunately, the wand couldn't prevent someone from stabbing him in his sleep.
