The Amazing Harry Potter Shops You Won’t Find on Diagon Alley
Oliver’s Brighton
42 Trafalgar St, Brighton BN1 4ED
Naked lightbulbs hang from the ceiling, softly illuminating the veritable Gringotts vault of Harry Potter gifts and memorabilia which lies within. The award-winning Oliver’s Brighton fully transports you from the streets of London-by-the-sea to the hustle and bustle of Diagon Alley in an instant, with the naked brickwork walls and lush oak cabinets only adding to the unique and vibrant atmosphere of what has to be one of the best Harry Potter shops the UK has to offer.

Mystical & Magical
Piece Hall, Halifax HX1 1RE
How ironic that Mystical & Magical are based in Halifax, as you'll be emptying your bank account in a hurry to purchase all the wonderful Harry Potter products that are waiting to be discovered within this superb shop. We aren't sure where the real sorcery in Mystical & Magical is, as it's either in the fantastic selection of merchandise available or how seamlessly it's all blended together within their four magnificent walls.

The Shop That Must Not Be Named
30 Shambles, York, YO1 7LX
There are shops, and then there are shops that simply must not be named. It’s a bit of a mystery how this gorgeous Harry Potter store based in the heart of ancient York came to be quite so wand-wavingly brilliant, but you won’t be thinking about such questions when you visit here. Why? Because you’ll be too busy soaking in all the amazing Wizarding World gifts and merchandise to care. Mischief (well and truly) managed.
