The Owl Emporium provides all types of owls, ranging from barn, sooty, whiskered screech, tawny, brown, and snowy. Anyone who enters the shop will find themselves being glared at by small, jewel-like beady eyes.

Though the shop reaks of bad eggs and cabbage, the Apothecary is one of the only places in Knockturn Alley where you can buy potions and potion ingredients.

Borgin & Burkes is one of the worse shops in Knockturn Alley, being that it houses many dark and mysterious objects. You can either buy or sell here, but personally, most wizards and witches would rather be someplace else.

Here you can buy all sorts of cauldrons for school. They range in variety and size, for example, from the shabbiest black cauldron to the most magnifiecent solid gold cauldron. Vampiori requires everyone to have atleast two pewter cauldrons, and the shop is very near the Leaky Cauldron.

The famous Daily Prophet, the magical newspaper, is printed and edited here. Reporters are running all over the place, so they might not have time to talk to anyone besides their boss.

Flourish & Blotts is a remarkable bookstore where students can purchase either their school books or books for "light" reading.

The Leaky Cauldron is an old pub and inn, invisable to all Muggle eyes. Only those with magical blood in them, or Muggle-borns, can see it and enter it. It was first founded by Daisy Dodderidge in the 1500s to serve as an access point to Diagon (now Knockturn) Alley. At the back of the Leaky Cauldron is a brick wall, and you only have to tap with one's wand in the right places to enter Knockturn Alley.

Madam Malkin's Robes is the only place in Knockturn Alley now to buy good fabric and robes. It stocks in Vampiori robes and cloaks, as well as Durmstrang and Beauxbaton's clothing.

Ollivanders, though narrow and shabby with the gold letters peeling from age, is the best place to buy magical wands in all of Britain. Since 383 B.C., wizards and witches have been buying wands from the shop. Boxes containing many, many wands line the back of the store, and one will always fine their wand here.

Quality Quidditch Supplies sells broomsticks and other Qudditch related things. It draws many customers to gaze longingly at its items, which most drool over the newest broomstick, the Zelon 4000, a zebra wood broom with green instead of brown twigs. It is considered the fastest broom in the world and it costs much more than many can afford.
