Geocache Description:

***The cache is available Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. On weekends, there is sometimes a table put out right at GZ, so the best time to search is during business hours M-F.***

You won't have to tap on any bricks to find yourself in Berkeley's Diagon Alley, but it feels just as hidden and magical.

The cache is at the posted coordinates, but the following information pulled from the Marauder's Map may help you on your journey:

At the corner of Walnut and Vine, you'll find Madam Primpernelle's Beautifying Potions -- or is it Sir Peet's Awakening Potions? From there, walk south past the Leaky Cauldron towards Eeylops Owl Emporium, where you can find everything from magical pets to treats for Fluffy the three-headed dog. Enter the alley, and walk (or fly!) until you find yourself in a courtyard. Stop at the entrance to the courtyard. Across the courtyard from you is Ollivanders, and up and to your left is Sugarplum's Sweets Shop. The cache is in the corner directly to your right, "diagonalley" across from the sweets shop.

Oh, and watch out for Muggles. ;)

Congratulations to Team Io-Honu for FTF!
