Diagon Alley stalls

The stalls were created in 1996, on the streets of Diagon Alley when many witches and wizards try to take advantage of the fear created by Voldemort's return. They set up stalls selling amulets and other objects, which (according to them) protect you against werewolves, Dementors and Inferi. These "dark magic protection" stalls, however, are illegal. An office called the Office for the Detection and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Protective Objects had to be created for these stalls and other simliar things.
