Eeylops Owl Emporium
The Emporium is a specialty shop that sells owls and every other necessity that comes with caring and raising an owl. The shop itself is small and dark, adjusted for the comfort of the owls themselves whom are nocturnal creatures. Outside of the shop are cages hung, each housing a different species of owls that stare at the passerby.
Flourish & Blotts
If anyone is in need of new books for their classes at Hogwarts, then they go to Flourish and Blotts. There are shelves filled with books that reach to the ceilings of the establishment. The bookshop have other types of wizarding literature and specialty books such as The Invisible Book of Invisibility and The Monster Book of Monsters. Customers can also purchase books through owl delivery.
Gringotts
Gringotts Wizarding Bank is the only bank within the wizarding world that is owned and operated by goblins. Here is their main offices where a witch or wizard can store money and valuables, or exchange muggle money for wizarding money. It's considered as one of the most secure places in the wizarding world.
The Leaky Cauldron
A popular wizarding pub and inn, the Leaky Cauldron is always filled with customers and patrons. It is known as the "gateway between the non-wizarding world and Diagon Alley". While the front are filled with wizards and witches enjoying their drinks and meals, in the back is a courtyard that allows others to enter Diagon Alley itself.
Ollivanders
If one is in need of a new wand, most people go to Ollivanders to get it, and in this case, most students of Hogwarts. Shelves lined with boxes and dust fill almost the entirety of the shop, and it's not often to see a greater mess caused by students experimenting with the wand given to them by Mr. Ollivander himself.
Madam Malkin's
Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions is the place to go for all things apparel: new dress robes, traveling cloaks, gloves and socks, and most importantly, Hogwarts uniforms for students. On extremely rare occasions, people can even find an invisibility cloak or two.
