As part of my thesis research i would like to know the reasons why some of you like Diagon Alley? What comes to your mind when you heard about Diagon Alley? What part of Diagon Alley do you love most?
And what can you see in Diagon Alley that makes it a good place to buy and sell things in the wizarding world? do you have any recommendations?


Brief info about Diagon Alley:
Diagon Alley (a play on the word "diagonally") is a fictional High street located in London. It is accessible to the wizarding world, to which it is something of an economic hub, but hidden from Muggles. However, Muggles are allowed access to it if they need to accompany their Muggle-born magical children. If a wizard or witch needs something, chances are that it can be found in Diagon Alley.
One entrance to Diagon Alley can be reached on foot by passing through The Leaky Cauldron. The inn, invisible to Muggles, lies somewhere along the London thoroughfare Charing Cross Road, between a bookshop and a record shop. To reach Diagon Alley, one must go through The Leaky Cauldron to a rear courtyard and tap a brick in the wall, found by counting three up and two across, three times. Given the busy nature of the area, travelling to and from Diagon Alley is likely typically done by more magical means such as Apparition or by using the Floo Network.
Soft Harry Potters Fans will expierience:

1. You will actually remember a few of the actual spells/curses/charms/hexes etc..

2. You will propably almost always turn the conversation to Harry Potter.

3. You would have named SOMETHING after a Harry Potter character/object.

4. Whenever Harry Potter is mentioned you'll listen straightaway!

Hardcore Harry Potter Fans will expierience:

1. Whenever Harry Potter comes up in a conversation you'll feel as if they're talking about YOU.

2. You will accidently call someone at SOME POINT a character in Harry Potter.

“Take it…take it…”
    Snape struggled to give Harry the memories that explained what had happened, why he had had to do what he did. He held on as tightly as he could, trying to filter into Harry just how important it was for him to see them. Snape felt himself drifting. He knew that he was about to die, after all these years he would finally get his wish. For him, life had been fueled by the dream of Lily loving him as much as he did her. She had been his one true friend, and though she didn’t know it, his whole world. Severus knew that he wasn’t easily liked...

I just have to say that this isn't really Twilight fan-fiction, nor Harry Potter for that matter. It's a mix. I noticed on fan-fiction.net that loads of people were writing them, so I thought I'd give it a go myself. So, anyway, here it is:

Chapter One- The Essence of a Fan

'Edward, we love you!'
'No, I love him more'
'I swear on Jacob's life that I love Edward more than you'
'How does that work? You don't even like Jacob'
'Do too, I'm on Team Switzerland'
'Then you can't love Edward more- you love them both'
'Edward come back!'
Harry jumped out the way as two screaming girls flew past. His...

To my fellow Gryffindor's

Hey! So even though Gryffindor was a very popular house in the movies and books, in real life most of the people aren't in Gryffindor. I don't know why that counts cool, but they wanna be "different" or choose Draco's side, Slytherin because they have a crush on him or somehow obsessed with him ( trust me, all the teenage girls I met are,)

As a Gryffindor, I sometimes feel very left out. You can always find a Ravenclaw, Slytherin or Hufflepuff out there but only the 1 percent is Gryffindor. However, I learned to be proud of my house. I really am. If you're in Gryffindor,...

1. Some more minor characters, such as Dobby, were only included in the films where their roles were pivotal. Others such as Peeves were excluded entirely. The development of minor relationships such as Tonks/Lupin and Bill/Fleur was cut.

2. The locations for Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione's first kisses were both altered in the films. Some smaller scenes between the couples were also changed or added in. Scenes such as Harry and Hermione dancing in Deathly Hallows were added to please their fans and to create more of an impression of a love triangle.

3. Some characters' appearances didn't fully...
