With its cobbled streets and overhanging buildings, Shambles in York is believed to have been the inspiration behind Diagon Alley from the movie adaptation of the Harry Potter series. The Shop That Must Not Be Named was originally created due to Potter fans all over the world travelling to York to catch a glimpse of The Shambles. Harry Potter fans converge on this cozy shop that carries wands, books, jewelry & other novelties. There is even a place to park their brooms!
