knockturn alley (a play on the word "nocturnally") is a dark and seedy alleyway leading off from diagon alley. it is frequently populated by dark wizards. many of the shops in knockturn alley are devoted to the dark arts; the best known of which is borgin & burkes, which sells sinister and dangerous objects. harry lands in knockturn alley in the chamber of secrets, when accidentally saying (in the film version) "diagonally" instead of diagon alley (the book does not indicate what he pronounced) while using floo powder to get to diagon alley. here hagrid finds him (and narrowly rescues him from a witch with mossy teeth who was holding a tray with fingernails in it), while looking for flesh-eating slug repellent, for the school's cabbage patch. from there he takes him back to diagon alley, where they find hermione granger who takes them to the weasleys.
