Honeydukes Sweet Shop // Hogsmeade Village
No visit to the all-wizarding village of Hogsmeade would be complete without the High Street institution that is Honeydukes. The shop is filled with “shelves upon shelves of the most succulent-looking sweets imaginable,” but don’t miss out on fresh fudge and chocolate homemade by the owners.
The shop is a hit with Hogwarts’ students who visit Hogsmeade on select weekends and shoppers who fill the village streets during the holiday season.

Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes // Diagon Alley
Fred and George Weasley may not have achieve the same number of OWLS or NEWTS as their older brothers, but their witty remarks and proclivity for mischief earned them respect as brilliant pranksters.
After starting as a mail order service, their dream of opening a joke shop became a reality when they secured the premises of Number 93 Diagon Alley. Some of their most popular products include Skiving Snackboxes, Canary Creams, Fainting Fancy, and Ton-Tongue Toffees.
The duo became Hogwarts’ legends after they hopped on their brooms and left school during the reign of Dolores Umbridge in their 7th year.

Congratulations! You’ve been accepted to Hogwarts School! Pack your bags and we’ll meet you on Platform 9 3/4 at Kings Cross Station. Term starts Sept 1.
Who else can still get lost in the HP books? As soon as I opened the first book I was hooked. A whole generation was. I also can vividly remember going to see the first Harry Potter movie and watching the first years’ boats glide across the Black Lake while the camera pans up giving all of us our first view of Hogwarts. A place full of possibility with secrets and surprises around every corner. It’s not just a place to learn magic, but magic itself!
Founded around 990 A.D. by four of the greatest witches and wizards of the age: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin, Hogwarts School remains one of the most prestigious wizarding institutions. Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus.
