Bookstore!
Flourish and Blotts Bookseller was a bookshop in North Side, Diagon Alley, about halfway down the street on the left hand side.[1] Established in 1454,[3] it was where most Hogwarts students purchased their schoolbooks. The shop was filled with bookshelves stacked to the ceiling.
The shop had had a few problems with certain books, such as The Invisible Book of Invisibility which cost them a great deal of money to buy and had gone missing very early in its hours of being sold due to its invisibility, and The Monster Book of Monsters which tore itself apart and bit the manager when he tried to get a copy off the shelf.
The shop held occasional book-signings, such as when Gilderoy Lockhart stopped by in 1992 to sign copies of his latest book Magical Me. Flourish and Blotts also ran a service which enabled purchasers to buy books via owl delivery. They also took advance orders for books that were in high demand, such as The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore.
