Geocache Description:

Tapping the correct brick on the wall (three up and then two across..) behind the Leakey Cauldron Pub will let one enter the shopping meca of the Wizarding world, Diagon Alley .
In the Harry Potter books by JK Rowlings, Diagon Alley is a cobbled street full of strange and exciting shops and restaurants. It is accessible to witches and wizards but hidden from Muggles (non-magic folk).

This is a series of caches each named after one of the shops on this famous street.
The cache containers are all a bit unusual so open your muggle eyes wide


Your next stop on Diagon Alley might be to find a messenger owl at Eeylops Owl Emporium.
