knockturn alley

just around the corner from diagon alley lies a dark, twisting alleyway devoted to the dark arts: knockturn alley. It's a place where many children are not allowed in, and with good reason; not only are the wares sold their a bit dodgy, but the wizards hanging around behave fairly suspiciously as well. from the shops and the street vendors one can purchase, among other things, shrunken heads, poisonous candles, human-looking fingernails, and flesh-eating slug repellent.
