In the Harry Potter books and movies, Diagon Alley is where young wizards and witches attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry go shopping for their supplies before the start of the new school year. Many of these stores and their merchandise have come to life in the incredible, immersive experience that is The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley, which provides a voluminous amount of one-of-a-kind items faithful to the Harry Potter series.
To start our discussion, we’ll look at some of the items and location where you can buy Wizarding World merchandise outside of Diagon Alley, and then we’ll head to the London waterfront. And you don’t want to miss our photo gallery at the bottom of the page, which features over 100 full-screen images.
(Please note that our prices are rounded to the nearest dollar and do not include sales tax.)
Harry Potter merchandise outside of Diagon Alley
The first place you will find Wizarding World merchandise is in the Universal Studios Store at CityWalk and in the big, front-entrance gift shops at Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure.

Muggle merchandise in the London waterfront
Before entering Diagon Alley proper, guests experience the London waterfront, featuring the Knight Bus, Grimmauld Place, and Wyndham’s Theater.
A merchandise kiosk sits near King’s Cross Station and offers a variety of tourist items specific to muggle London.

Harry Potter merchandise from Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes
The Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes novelty joke shop is a very prominent store in Diagon Alley, with a 20-foot-high Weasley tipping his hat as a white rabbit appears and disappears on his head.

If you purchase the DVD and still want prints, Shutterbutton’s will give you $10 off the latter.
The sample DVD movie on display begins with an image of a leather scrapbook titled “Harry Potter.” The scrapbook then opens and its pages turn, showing all the magical photographs inside.

Harry Potter merchandise from Borgin and Burkes
In the cold, dark, and foreboding Knockturn Alley, guests can shop in Borgin and Burkes, a remarkable venue for those who may be fascinated with the Dark Arts.

Word of caution – shop size
The most important thing you need to know about shopping inside The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is that the shops are small in every sense of the word. The purpose of their intimate size is to reflect their “boutique” nature and stay true to the stories you’ve read. While this sounds great on paper, we’re sorry to say that it can be extremely uncomfortable in practice, particularly for guests requiring special assistance. It literally takes no more than a dozen people to fill up any one of these shops, and with thousands of Potter fans visiting the area each day – well, you can do the math. That’s why, if browsing through the merchandise inside Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley is something you’re greatly looking forward to, it’s absolutely essential that you read our how to ensure your trip to the Wizarding World is a success! page.
If you do find that the shops inside Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade are simply too packed for you to navigate them comfortably, remember that you can buy Wizarding World merchandise at the front-entrance gift shops and at the Universal Studios Store in CityWalk. In addition, you can purchase select items in the Universal stores at the on-site hotels and at the Orlando International Airport. Last but not least, a decent selection is also available for purchase from Universal’s official online merchandise store.
