Chapter 328: Diagon Alley
Harry Potter was born on July 31, 1980, and received an acceptance letter from Hogwarts on July 31, 1991.
After Sun Yang determined that his identity was just a Chinese who had emigrated to the UK, he no longer paid attention to anything, but found a newsstand, and saw the date on the front page, July 3, 1990, yes, he did come to this world before Harry Potter was eleven years old.
Sun Yang confirmed to Zero whether this world is based on novels or movies, after all, there are still many differences between novels and movies, Zero told Sun Yang that this virtual world is generated with movies as the background, because movies are more modern than novels, and it is easier to generate virtual worlds.
After knowing what he wanted to know, the next thing was to get some money, Sun Yang found a jewelry store, and took out a beautiful jewelry and gold jewelry from the storage space, in this jewelry store Sun Yang exchanged more than one million pounds, which should be enough for his own use, of course, since he wants to enter the magic world, he has to exchange pounds for gold galleons, about five pounds to one gold galleon, 1 gold galleon is equal to 17 silver sike, 1 silver sike is equal to 29 copper nat, it is really a complex exchange unit, None of them are integers, and I really don't know if wizards usually have to prepare a calculator to buy things, or wizards are good at math.
His more than one million pounds can be exchanged for about 200,000 gold galleons, although it shrank five times in an instant, but the purchasing power of gold gallons is still guaranteed, a magic wand is the price of 7 gold galleons, and the championship prize of the Triwizard Tournament is only 1000 gold galleons, Harry Potter gave money to Ron's twin brother to open a joke shop, you must know that the Weasleys don't have much money, and 1000 gold galleons can open a store, which proves the purchasing power of gold gallons.
But there is no way to enter the wizarding world, Sun Yang has no road, usually those wizards do not come to the Muggle realm to play, if you want to find and enter the wizarding world, you have to find the cauldron bar.
The location of the Leaky Cauldron is not described, except that ordinary Muggles cannot be seen on the streets of London because of the magic that has been exerted.
Sun Yang can only walk around the streets, mainly those busy sections, because the Broken Cauldron Bar is on the commercial street, which allows Sun Yang to eliminate a large number of residential blocks.
After Sun Yang walked around more than a dozen commercial streets, he finally saw a dilapidated façade on a commercial street, and the signboard of the façade had a pattern of a three-legged cauldron.
", I finally found it, both of my legs are about to break."
Sun Yang stopped and used his internal force to relieve the fatigue of his legs, because most of the commercial streets prohibit vehicles, and there is no way to hire a car, so he can only use his feet to find it slowly.
Pushing open the door of the Leaky Cauldron Bar, there was a miasma of smoke inside, and the lights were dim, which made Sun Yang feel like he had returned to the Pirates of the Caribbean world, these wizards really couldn't keep up with the pace of the times, and only a few incandescent lamps needed to make this place bright and clear, but wizards just refused Muggle items.
Sun Yang entered the Cauldron Bar and did not attract much attention, after all, there were some Muggle wizards who lived among Muggles, and their dress was still very normal, the Cauldron Bar was a comprehensive bar for eating and living, and there were accommodation rooms on the second floor.
"Excuse me, excuse me, I'm new from the East, I don't know how to enter Diagon Alley, can you please help me open it."
Sun Yang came to the small patio located behind the bar, looked at the dense wall and turned his head, Sun Yang didn't know how to open the mechanism of Diagon Alley, so he could only come to the bar and say to a busy waiter.
"We'd love to help."
Sun Yang's situation is not uncommon, and it is not surprising, after all, Sun Yang is not a wizard in England, the attendant came to the small patio, skillfully lit a few bricks on this wall, and then turned his head and began to move, shrinking to both sides, and a wide doorway appeared.
After thanking the waiter, Sun Yang entered this lively street, Diagon Alley, which is the most frequented place for British wizards, and the most famous shops in the British wizarding world are here.
For example, at the Ollivanders Wand Shop, all young wizards come here at the age of eleven to get their first wand, which will basically follow the wizard for the rest of their lives, unless it is destroyed or snatched with a disarming charm.
Madame Morkin's robe monopoly list, this is where the vast majority of Hogwarts students customize school uniforms, the costumes of the wizarding world are made of automatic cleaning, heat preservation and other effects, far from Muggle clothes can be compared, there is another out-of-the-ordinary clothing store, it is a relatively high-end clothing store, and some pure-blood wizards will come here to customize clothes.
Blotted Bookstore, a large wizard bookstore filled with bookcases that reach to the ceiling. The Blotted Bookstore sells beginner wizarding books, but is probably the only bookstore to provide study textbooks for Hogwarts students, even though Hogwarts classes require more books than they can sell.
There are also shops selling other things on the street, such as a cauldron shop for making potions, a shop for quills and parchment, a shop for Quidditch-specific items, and a shop for pets.
Of course, there are also some second-hand stores, the Weasleys frequented here, as purebloods, the development of them is also unique, other purebloods, even if not rich nobles, are also well-off families, at least the children are all new, how can they always use second-hand goods, but the Weasleys can also be regarded as adding a lot of blood to the pureblood world.
Sun Yang's first target was Gringotts, a towering white building at the interface of Diagon Alley and Tumbledown Alley, Gringotts is known as the second safest place in the world after Hogwarts, so wizards are willing to deposit their gold and silver treasures in Gringotts.
Sun Yang knows whether Gringotts is safe or not, the so-called security here is relative, and it can only prevent ordinary thieves, but for the strong, and scheming people, it is easy to enter here to obtain things, and Harry Potter was stolen once in the first part.
In charge of Gringotts is a group of goblins, in fact, the original book says goblins, but when translated into Chinese, translated into goblins, these goblins are only one meter tall, their faces are hideous, their teeth seem to be sharp teeth like beasts, and their fingers are very long, Sun Yang feels that this is convenient for these goblins to count money.
