Knockturn Alley

Knockturn Alley is a shopping area off Diagon Alley in London. It is filled with shops devoted to the Dark Arts, including Borgin and Burkes, which specialises in objects that have curious and strong magical properties.

Harry Potter first enters Knockturn Alley in 1992. He ends up inside Borgin and Burkes when he doesn't say "Diagon Alley" clearly enough when trying to travel there by Floo powder. He runs into Hagrid outside the shop. Harry's next visit to the alley is in 1996, when he, Ron, and Hermione follow Draco Malfoy, suspecting him to be a Death Eater.

The name "Knockturn Alley" is a play on "nocturnally", just as "Diagon Alley" is a play on "diagonally".
