Product Information

Its history as a market began in the 14th-century, around 1321, and it functioned as a popular meat and poultry trading post. Before the Diagon Alley expansion at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, one could find Potage's Cauldron Shop (actually just a fake storefront) in Hogsmeade. Following the expansion, it was replaced by Ceridwen's Cauldrons. At some point after the end of the Second Wizarding War, Tom either retired or passed away. Hannah Abbott then became the new landlady. [4]

Users of Pottermore were allowed to own only one of every available type of cauldron at Potage's Cauldron Shop - Pewter Cauldron, Copper Cauldron, Brass Cauldron. [11] Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Chapter 5 ( Diagon Alley) - “a few old women[…] sitting in a corner, drinking tiny glasses of sherry,” What is Leadenhall Market famous for? Leadenhall Market is famous for being a stunning Victorian market with colourful shopfronts, lamps and starry sky vaulted ceilings. But, in recent years it’s also become famous due to being a Harry Potter filming location. Cauldrons have had a magical association for centuries. They appear in hundreds of years' worth of pictures of witches, and are also supposed to be where leprechauns keep treasure. Many folk and fairy tales make mention of cauldrons with special powers, but in the Harry Potter books they are a fairly mundane tool. I did consider making Helga Hufflepuff's hallow a cauldron, but there was something slightly comical and incongruous about having such a large and heavy Horcrux; I wanted the objects Harry had to find to be smaller and more portable. However, a cauldron appears both in the four mythical jewels of Ireland (its magical power was that nobody ever went away from it unsatisfied) and in the legend of The Thirteen Treasures of Britain (the cauldron of Dyrnwch the giant would cook meat for brave men, but not for cowards)."

Just nearby you have the iconic King’s Cross Station. Although there is no Platform 9¾ in real-life, there is a Harry Potter Shop with a trolley nearby for a photo opportunity. We were enthusiastically greeted by Lewi and Kira before we’d even made it to the bottom of the stairs! Lewi went over all the details with us and his positivity was brilliant. Later during that school year, Jacob and their sibling had an awkward dinner in the Leaky Cauldron with their long lost father Peregrine. [10] They later met with their father in the inn to discuss their findings about Dai Ryusaki. [11]

During your Potion’s experience, you’ll also be given a magic wand that will do some of the mixing work for you and the spell casting will come alive before your very eyes. This establishment of Diagon Alley the Leaky Cauldron is noted for its most excellent and delicious luncheon" — A sign in the Leaky Cauldron [src] Dishes [ ] Above: In recent times, Leaky has reported from exclusive Fantastic Beasts set visits, global fan events, press junkets and, of course, red carpet premieres. We've also had the pleasure of attending global Harry Potter fan events, such as A Celebration of Harry Potter. In the summer of 1899, Albus Dumbledore and Elphias Doge stayed at the Leaky Cauldron, in preparation to depart for Greece, when Albus received word of his mother's death.

Charing Cross Road (where the Leaky Cauldron is located) is actually several centuries younger than the Leaky Cauldron itself. Charing Cross Road was created in mid 18th century by rebuilding and merging two elder streets. This also means that Leaky Cauldron cannot be located in the middle part of the road (between the intersections with Carnbour Street and Shaftesbury Avenue) because this is the part that was most transformed and reshaped by the creation of Charing Cross Road. The Leaky Cauldron can be located in its southern third (formerly known as Castle Street) or in its northern third (formerly known as Crown Street or Hog Lane). The exact location is unknown, there is only a brief mention in the first book that it is located between a bookshop and a record store that were in Charing Cross Road in the early 1990s. Spell Casting 101: After receiving a technology-filled magic wand, you cast a pouring spell with your wand to receive a welcome drink from the maw of a magical creature. Your wand is the key to interacting with the space around you! There are loads of Harry Potter experiences in London – I’ve even written a self-guided walking tour but if you want to delve even deeper, book onto one of these guided tours or take a trip to the Warner Bros Studios in Leavesden .
