- Okay, so how to get to Diagon Alley? By Floo powder of course. Mrs. Weasley tells Ron to go first to show how it's done.
- Ron grabs a handful of powder, throws it into the fireplace, says, "Diagon Alley," is engulfed by green flames, and disappears.
- Nothing terrifying about that, right?
- But, of course, Harry gets all nervous and tongued tied and instead of saying, "Diagon Alley," he says, "diagonally." Awkward.
- He winds up coming out of the fireplace on his back in some weird spooky shop. There are all kinds of creepy things for sale in the cases.
- When he books out of that place, he sees all kinds of shady people out in the alley.
- Luckily, he also runs into Hagrid who warns him against hanging out in Knockturn Alley.
- Hey, if this place is so bad what was Hagrid doing there?
