Dark cobblestone, broken sidewalks, black lanterns and lamps, the Knockturn Alley makes a person feel as if they are walking through the set of some gothic monster movie or gothic ghost movie. The shadows here seem to have a life of its own and the peddlers here leer at you with beady eyes and a villainous glint. Most of the time they are harmless, and merely curious about you, at least that's what you tell yourself. It is highly recommended that you do not sit down at one of the benches or meander around aimlessly. You never know who might want to talk to you or worst. At night, Knockturn Alley is lit up with green flames that flicker within the lanterns and pale gold flames that dance in the lamp posts.
