Potage's Cauldron Shop was the first shop one encountered when entering North Side, Diagon Alley from the Leaky Cauldron. It sold all types of cauldrons, displaying them in a stack outside the shop, under a sign which read: "Cauldrons - All Sizes - Copper, Brass, Pewter, Silver - Self-Stirring - Collapsible."[1] It is owned by Madam Potage.
A branch of the shop is also located in Hogsmeade, and one is located in Knockturn Alley.
History
1991
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.[1]
1992
During the Christmas holidays, Potage's was temporarily closed, due "to some faulty cauldrons causing a stir". [2]
