What is your favorite Diagon Alley store??? Is it Flourish and Blotts, Ollivanders, Weasley's Wizard Whezes, Madam Malkins, or you just can't decide??? What is your's???

Although I think there should be an other's option, I really wanted to put Eyelops Owlery (I love animals), but I put Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes because the others were not on my "Must visit" list. Although, Ollivanders would be a necessity rather than desire. Besides, at least I could buy a pygmy puff from them tongue.gif .

I put I don't know because I love most of the shops in diagonally so I cannot say which is my favourite. I love Ollivander's, I love WWW, I love EOE, and I love Apothacary's... I just love em all laugh.gif. ohmy.gif What is wrong with my store Padfoot313. Nah I am joking. tongue.gif

Ha, I had to go with I don't know. There are just too many stores I'd want to check out to only pick one. I definitely want to check out the latest brooms, get some icecream, go to the twins' place. Haha there's just way to much to do to only pick one place as my favorite tongue.gif

I know I'm not a moderator, but this topic should go to the forum of Polls, because I don't think JK will make a big story in book 7 about the store Ollivander's or any. For me, it's Ollivander, but has I said, this won't change the plot.
Hermione's freak
My favourite store would definetly be weasley's wizard wheezes. i love tricks and i love playing them too. i'd like a pygmy puff and a buch of other cool stuff from there. that shop totally rocks!!!

Hmm, I went with Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes on this one...

But my real favorite, I think, is Fortescue's Ice Cream, solely because I'm hungry. Never mind the fact that it's no longer being operated because the Dark Lord kidnapped him... wink.gif

I really, really love reading and could spend ages in bookstores. Every time i pass by one,i can't help myself but stare. But what i like most are the Weasley twins, so i had to go with them, and not The Flourish an blotts wink.gif
TheatreNerd0048
i must say the books are the best. i could live in a book store, and be in heaven.

Weasley Wizadring Weezes is awseome also! their store is sooo much fun ! they have anything to get out of class on a bad day, and i like playing jokes {harmless} on people.
Nawrehsuan
I voted for Weasley Wizarding Weezes because the shop is awesome, as are the Weasley twins, and there would be so many things to see and so much to do there that I know I would not want to leave.
luckyfish
I think Weasleys Wizard Wheezes are the best store as they have almost everything a person of our calaba could have!
I think it is really cool to have stared a shop with your twin and they are making a success of it too!
Go Weasleys Go! wacko.gif
Kaylyn
Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes because the Weasley twins are just cool like that. And, of course, it's the best place to go to buy laughter.
marauder5
Weasley's Wizard Whezes of course

Hi, marauder5.

By this time you should have already been by the rules and read that one-line posts are not allowed, but after scrolling through a few of your posts I can see that you have a long history of ignoring this rule. dry.gif

One-liners have been prohibited because they kill high quality discussion. Unfortunately, not only have you posted one-liners as over half of your 29 posts, but you have been warned repeatedly by several moderators and prefects not to do so--specifically pigwidigon, ashleigh07, and Krieltje.

I am making a final request that you visit the rules before making any further posts. We want the forums here to be the best they can, so please help us out and follow the rules. If you don't know where to go, follow the link in my signature. wink.gif

If you have questions feel free to PM any moderator or prefect. smile.gif

My favorite would be Weasley's Wizard Wheezes! Fred and George's creations are brilliant! I think it would be a real treat to go to the store and buy all their awesome things. I wish I was a witch so it would be possible to visit Diagon Alley! Weasleys rock! tongue.gif
Kenny Crofton
the weasleys store is pretty cool as read in the 6th book but i sitll think ollivanders is the best because without that many wizards/witches may have had different outcomes. i mean look at it like this what if voldemort didnt get his wand there? maybe it might be different but im probably wrong. but something tells me that in the 7th book the weasleys store is going to have a bit more to do with defensive things along with the joke stuff from what the twins said to harry in the 6th.

I just could not decide! If I was actually in Diagon Alley I would have to visit absolutley all the shops. *whispers* and perhaps even have a look down Knockturn Alley, but only out of curiousity of course laugh.gif
passerby
I chose Flourish and Botts since it has all the books! Unless there's another shop that specializes in rare and antique books, then I'd go with that. But for now, I could probably get lost in the aisles of books at Flourish and Botts and be quite happy to remain lost!
departed_soul
I love Flourish and Blotts because I love to read, but Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes is my absolute favorite. Fred and George are just awesome, I'd love to use some of their products to cause some trouble -- nothing like a little mischief to spice up your day!
dream_of_a_siren
Weasley's Wizard Wheezes is definately the best of all the shops in Diagon Alley. Man, if I had a hundred galleons, I'd buy the place out! magic.gif
Padfoot08
Flourish and Blotts. Nothing can beat a good book!
I thought about Madam Malkins, but I hate trying on clothes and getting them fitted. huh.gif
corijp
I voted for Weasley's Wizard Whezes.
First, I dearly love Fred and George! and Second, how much fun would it be to spend an afternoon browsing through their creations. And of course, *batting eyes* ask Fred and George for a demonstration... tongue.gif
lizmie27
I chose Flourish & Blotts wub.gif because I'm a nerd and I love to read. I could never work there though...I would just be reading instead of sorting books or whatever.
silver_moon
i voted for the book shop... if it has books, it's my favourite. and not only books, those are books of magic!!! i could live all my life between those! reading, practising, reading, reading... of course, i would visit the weasley's joke shop, but i can't live without books.
Veneficus_Diligo
I think this store would be the most fun to visit!

I really love these Poll thingys.
PiratePrincess
happy.gif Weasley's Wizard Whezes!!! Go, Fred and George!!! Oh There shop sounds so amazing! I cannot wait for the 6th movie to come out, so I can see it(well I aready have a picture in my head... but still I can't wait!)
felix_felicis_444
Of course Weasley's Wizard Wheezes is a must-visit when going to Diagon Alley, but I chose Ollivander's.

Wands, obviously, are a necessity for all wizards. Ollivander really knows his stuff relating to wands, so it would be interesting to see which wand would "choose" me! Plus, Ollivander seems like a really cool guy who might be able to crack a joke almost as funny was Fred and George's joke shop. rolleyes.gif

I would also like to visit Flourish & Blotts because it would definitely be interesting to see what kind of books wizards read. I wonder if they have science fiction... huh.gif Haha...I am positive you won't find books about evil witches on brooms -- or will you ph34r.gif
Plus, they seem to have some celebrity book-signing, so it would be nice to go once in a while to meet somebody famous!

What would be my favorite Diagon Alley store... Ollivanders is cool, every wizard needs a wand but it's probably going to be a one time visit. I think Flourish & Blotts would be my favorite store, I love books (I'm an addict) and would check the story frequently to see if they have any new stuff. I also love pranks and jokeshops, but I'm not a prankster myself (I'm the type that laughs at jokes from others).

I'd love to spend days looking about Flourish and Blotts at the different books for spells, hex's, history, and plants!

Weasley Wizard Wheezes, They remind me of mad scientists. rolleyes.gif

that was my initial thought too, It would be great to find some obscure book with equally obscure magic in it (I love old bookshops in real life, they're like little gold minds of tatty old ,usually-second hand, treasure tongue.gif )

but then I thought about the purple pigmy puff and well the Weazleys' won , I just really want one they sound too cute
Kolby Potter
I said Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, although that is my second favourite shop! My favourite shop would have to be Quality Quiddich Supplies.(sp?) Cause of course it has to do with Quidditch (sp?)
LilyPotter
DEFINITELY Ollivander's... because he's missing folks! It all goes along with my Ollivander-is-a-death-eater-and-working-for-LV theory. Oh, he is...
gaby_weasley92
Flourish & Blotts 'cause I love to read!! I love booksss! Althougs the Weasley's store would be fab too!
Lizzy_Radcliffe
WEASLEY'S WIZARD WHEEZES! No question about it. It has to be the best store there is, even if you can't get any school supplies from it. It has everything anyone wants. It even has zit remover. That's crazy. My second favorite would be Flourish and Blotts, because there is so much to know about the Wizard World, and I would spend hours there...
Harry_Ginny777
well from the list you gave us i can't pick only one it is to hard to pick one of any thing especially this. so i am going to pick Flourish & Blotts, know wait maybe Weasley's Wizard Whezes. know Flourish & Blotts. it is a tie between them two i like this poll it makes you think.
Spencer Potter
Weee for Weasleys Whizard Wheezes, Yah baby.. Love that star, they are bloody geniouses even Mcgonagall or whoever said who take someone very smart to make a portable swamp.
wizkid_12
oh defintely Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes! that store is great they have everything that a joke shop could possibly ask for! and i love Fred and George theyre hilarious!
draco_malfoy<3
Favourite store...gotta be the Weasley's!!! happy.gif
Full of jokes!!! So much pranks!
It's amazing, it's good for Halloween & April's Fool's Day! Or just about any other ordinary day too! happy.gif
nelliemerk
I said Weasley's Wizard Wheezes! Since it's a joke shop and everything would make you laugh. It would be so much fun to go in and see that. Plus the weasley's are great characters and are very entertaining.
FawkesThePheonix
Totally Ollivanders! I mean come on! All of those wands, or wait a minute, maybe Flourish and Blotts- BOOKS!!! or The Weasley's! Pygmy Puffs! Oh man I don't know they all rock!

My answer was the Weasleys joke shoppe...but my favorite shop would have to be the ice cream store...what ever it was called...becuase i LOVE wub.gif ice cream! i also would like the book shop and the wand shop, but they're not my favorite wink.gif
DoubleD
The weasley's shop is very funny and Ollivander's would be cool to test some wands, but for I am a huge fan of books, my favourite shop in Diagon Alley is Flourish & Blotts. It would be so much fun reading through all the books there, especially books with curses againt the dark arts or against malfoy... wink.gif
Although Florean Fortescue's is great too...
x-o-x-guess who-x-o-x
i put the weasley wizard wheezes because i just cant get enough of the twins stuff tongue.gif it's just soooo amazing..wow!
Waterlilly
I would love to shop at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. That would be the best place to purchase practical joke and other novelties.
Dumbledore's Son
I would like the Weasley's Wizard Wheezes because that's the shop of pranks and funny and useful stuff.

MOD EDIT: You need to be careful deary. I am seeing too many of your posts that are just one sentence long. You need to expand more on your thoughts and contribute to the discussion at large, not just give us your opinion and leave.
Spadice
of course its weasly wizarding wheezes. how much fun would it be to go in there and see all the stuff that they had made. it would be cool to get a wand and potions and things, but once youve been in there once, its nothing new. but the weasly's shop would change so much, and so many cool things.
Golden Phoenix
I really don't know, they're all so good! It would be amazing to get a wand from Olivander's or buy loads of interesting books in Flourish and Blotts. Some others that weren't on the poll that are also great are... Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour (mmm... ice cream) and the Magical Megenerie (sp?) I really want an owl! tongue.gif
