A very crowded pet store, noisy with the sounds of all the animals, where Hermione bought Crookshanks. The proprietor is a witch who wears heavy black spectacles. She offers advice and sells things like rat tonic. Other creatures for sale include enormous purple toads, gigantic tortoises with jewel-encrusted shell, poisonous orange snails, a fat white rabbit that changed into a top hat, and cats of every color.
