OK, not London and doesn't have a potions store but seemed an appropriate title for the challenge. Taken in Heidelberg, Germany while the sun was out for a minute or two.

this is a great example of an "unfinished photo" in my opinion, the longer i look the more i see, and wonder, what the stores are, why so many bikes where are all the owners shopping?
I really like this type of shot. I took several of these when we were in Ireland on vacation this past summer. I think the brick is a tad too bright but there probably wasn't much you could do about it. The colors and the bicycles are so "Europe" and make this such a nice image.
Good job.
Deb,
I'm loving your Germany photos. I gave this a 10. In fact, it was one of my faves of the challenge. I love the vanishing point and I think you did an excellent job controlling the lighting, which could have easily gotten blown on the cobblestones. Great shot!
This is a nice shot, I like the real life of this. The color is wonderful. I like all the people on the street too. This is a good shot for this challenge. I think it should have been in the top 40, but that is just me.
The other Diagon Alley was better, they called theirs Diagonal Alley and was seedier. This would sit much better in a tourist book and is better photographed.
