Changes: Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions

Revision as of 16:48, 26 August 2011

Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, also known as Madam Malkin's Robes^[1] or simply Madam Malkin's, is a shop in Diagon Alley. Students get their Hogwarts school uniforms there, and wizards and witches can also purchase dress robes, travelling cloaks, and also, on very rare occasions, invisibility cloaks.

History

1991

Harry Potter first visited the shop in 1991. Hagrid, incapable of entering the shop due to his size, tells Harry to buy some robes. During his visit to the shop, Harry met Draco Malfoy for the first time.

1992

During the Christmas holidays, Madam Malkin's was closed with a small notice on the door, which read "We are closed due to daylight robery - back at seven o'cloak". ^[2]

1996

In 1996, Harry and Malfoy meet again in the shop, and openly insult each other and almost start a fight. Moments after that, Draco refuses to lift up the sleeve of his dress robes so that Madam Malkin can hem it. This leads Harry to believe that Malfoy has been branded with the Dark Mark.

Behind the scenes

Rumours! magazine advertised a mid-season sale up to 50% off selected lines and said that all robes are self-ironing and self-repairing.^[3]
Even though in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince the trio encountering the Malfoys in Madam Malkin's is omitted, it can be seen briefly in the background when the Death Eaters are attacking Diagon Alley and kidnapping Ollivander.
