Potage's Cauldron Shop

Stacks of cauldrons on display outside of Potage's Cauldron Shop in Diagon Alley.

Potage's Cauldron Shop was the first store one encountered when entering Diagon Alley from behind the Leaky Cauldron. It sold all types of cauldrons, displaying them in a stack outside the shop, under a sign which said: "Cauldrons - All Sizes - Copper, Brass, Pewter, Silver - Self-Stirring - Collapsible."

History

1992

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

Behind the scenes

• This was the first wizarding location, aside from the Leaky Cauldron, to be introduced in the series. The shop's name is not revealed in the books. It is only given in a tour of Diagon Alley included on the DVD of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and in the Game Boy Color version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
