"Welcome to Diagon Alley."
--Hagrid (PS5)

Harry and Hagrid visit Diagon Alley. Harry realizes how famous he is when he is recognized at the Leaky Cauldron. At Gringotts, Harry learns of his parents’ fortune and Hagrid retrieves the Philosopher’s Stone. Harry meets Draco Malfoy for the first time at Madame Malkin’s Robes for All Occasions. Harry buys his wand, which Ollivander tells him is the brother of Voldemort’s. Hagrid gives Hedwig to Harry as a birthday present.
