— Description[src]

Grimmauld Place was a street in the London Borough of Islington[1] mostly inhabited by Muggles. The Black family residence was located at number twelve, and served as the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix between 1995 to 1997.[2][3] Since the Black House was hidden from most people, the residents of this street had accepted the 'amusing mistake in the numbering that had caused number eleven to sit beside number thirteen'.[4]

Behind the scenes[]

  • Grimmauld Place may be one of Rowling's play on words combining the words 'grim', 'old' and 'place'.
  • In the Harry Potter films, scenes at Grimmauld Place were shot on Claremont Square, in Islington, London.
