- — Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, upon arriving with Harry Potter on Tottenham Court Road[src]
Tottenham Court Road is a road in Central London, England, in a Muggle area. It is relatively close to Charing Cross Road, and thus not far from the Leaky Cauldron and the wizarding street Diagon Alley. It is described as a "wide dark street thronged with late-night revellers and lined with closed shops"[1].
Second Wizarding War
Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger on Tottenham Court Road.
Hermione Granger Apparated herself, Harry Potter, and Ron Weasley there when they fled the wedding of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour on the evening of August 1, 1997. Harry and Ron changed into the clothes Hermione had packed in her handbag, which had an Undetectable Extension Charm on it, in an alleyway. After passing some drunk group of workmen who jeered at Hermione, the trio entered a café and unknowingly triggered the Taboo Curse on Lord Voldemort’s name.
Thus, they were tracked by Death Eaters disguised as Muggle workmen. Harry, under his Invisibility cloak, Stunned the Death Eater later identified as Thorfinn Rowle, while the other, Antonin Dolohov, magically bound Ron with black ropes. Harry’s second stunner missed him and hit the Muggle waitress, and Dolohov cast Expulso in Harry’s direction, blowing up a table and slamming Harry into a wall. Just as Harry felt the Cloak begin to slip off him and his wand fell from his hand, Hermione struck Dolohov with a Full Body-Bind Curse.
Afterwards, the trio briefly but reluctantly considered killing the Death Eaters, but instead decided to wipe their memories to “throw them off the scent”, according to Harry. Hermione altered their memories while Harry and Ron cleaned up the café, and then the three of them Disapparated to 12 Grimmauld Place.[1]
