— Sign outside Potage's Cauldron Shop[src]

Potage's Cauldron Shop was a shop on the North Side, Diagon Alley that sold all types of cauldrons, displaying them in a stack outside the shop, under a sign displaying what cauldrons they had available.[2] It was the first shop encountered when entering Diagon Alley from the Leaky Cauldron. It was owned and run by Madam Potage.

A branch of the shop was also located in Knockturn Alley.

"Due to some faulty cauldrons causing a stir, we are still closed, sorry."
— Notice of closure during the Christmas holidays in 1992 [src]

In 1991 Harry Potter and Rubeus Hagrid came to Potage's to buy a Pewter Cauldron for Harry, since every first year student had to be equipped with one.[2]

During the 1992 Christmas holidays, Potage's was temporarily closed, due "to some faulty cauldrons causing a stir".[3]

Etymology[]
