A lovely opening. It starts with rain, compost and a lawnmower, which is already suspiciously good, and then quietly opens a door into something much darker.

I particularly liked the way the ordinary details make the impossible feel almost administratively plausible.

I remember how fascinating it was when I first spotted this whilst in London!

I’ve got the key now. Knockturn Alley is dodgy, but if you are ever up for a day trip, it’s only a short walk to Diagon Alley.
