History

On 31 July, 1991, Rubeus Hagrid took Harry Potter to Diagon Alley to purchase supplies for his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry looked around the store while Hagrid dealt with the man behind the counter, noting that unicorn horns were on sale for twenty-one Galleons apiece, and black beetle eyes for five Knuts per scoop.[1]

Harry Potter returned here in 1993, in the summer before the beginning of his third year at Hogwarts School, to replenish his store of potions ingredients.[2]

In the summer of 1996, Harry joined the Weasleys in shopping for the upcoming school year. Neither Harry nor Ron Weasley bought any ingredients at the Apothecary, as they thought they would not be studying Potions in the school year to come.[3]
