The Magical Menagerie is a shop in Diagon Alley. It is very cramped and noisy. Every inch of wall is covered by cages. It sells all kinds of animals - poisonous orange snails, a giant jewel-encrusted tortoise, sleek black rats that are very intelligent, owls, ravens, cats of every colour, Puffskeins, a Transforming Rabbit and much more.
There Ron Weasley gets some tonic for his pet rat, Scabbers, (who is really Peter Pettigrew in disguise) and Hermione Granger gets her cat/Kneazle crossbreed, Crookshanks.
[edit] Behind the scenes
In the Xbox and PS2 versions of the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets video game, the owner appears to be a man. When Harry Potter passes the store in 1991, the sign reads "MAGICAL MENAGERIE" in green on a red awning. In other versions of the Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets games, the store owner tends to change depending on the version of the game.
