why is hermione not told off by the MoM or any wizards in diagon alley when she repairs harry's glasses with a spell in the second film. is she allowed because it is within a magical environment but if that is so why cant underaged wizards and witches do magic in their own houses with their magical family or in magical villages like ottery st catchpole (the wizarding village where the weasly's live). or is this just something the film got wrong

::The Ministry of Magic can detect magical activity around an underage witch or wizard, but they cannot identifiy the source. Therfore, in an enviroment such as Diagon Alley, with hundreads of witches and wizards around, it's impossible for them to determine who is performing underage magic.

Shouldn't the egymology section be about the origin of the word, not about how Harry mispronounced it? --[[User:BachLynn23|BachLynn23]] 00:32, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Floo access

It can also be accessed by Floo powder

Where does one arrive by Floo if not in the Leaky Cauldron? —Phil | Talk 07:51, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Access

The Access to Diagon Alley part is wrong, people say you press a brick in but in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone the brick in the middle is already pushed in and Hagrid just taps his umbrella around the bricks around it --Bongo2009 Gryffindor Talk 21:42, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

It's different between the books and films. In the book, Hagrid taps one certain brick three times. In the films, he taps a certain combination of bricks in sequence. - Nick O'Demus 04:57, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

can somebody upload a google image of diagon alley?187.158.64.141 00:43, May 9, 2010 (UTC)Charles187.158.64.141 00:43, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

underage magic in diagon alley

why is hermione not told off by the MoM or any wizards in diagon alley when she repairs harry's glasses with a spell in the second film. is she allowed because it is within a magical environment but if that is so why cant underaged wizards and witches do magic in their own houses with their magical family or in magical villages like ottery st catchpole (the wizarding village where the weasly's live). or is this just something the film got wrong

The Ministry of Magic can detect magical activity around an underage witch or wizard, but they cannot identifiy the source. Therfore, in an enviroment such as Diagon Alley, with hundreads of witches and wizards around, it's impossible for them to determine who is performing underage magic. Which is why Tom Riddle got away with murdering his father, because he did it in close proximity to his uncle Morfin, who the Ministry automatically suspected. I hope that answears your question.
