Description
This Diagon Alley wall banner brings the famous wizarding shopping street from the Harry Potter stories to a plain stretch of wall. Its dark green face is printed in gold with the words Diagon Alley in tall gothic lettering and a sweeping quill. Beneath them, a crooked building in green and white sits within curling gold scrollwork, watched over by two white owls. Small shop signs, scattered stars and gold corner flourishes fill the rest of the design. The banner tapers to a point at the base, where a pale gold tassel hangs. It measures 48.7cm on its longer side and 26.8cm on its shorter side, and is 1.3cm deep.
It hangs from a slim rod across the top on a long cord, so it needs only a single hook or picture nail. It suits a bedroom, a study, a reading corner or the wall above a bookcase. The deep green sits happily against warm, dark paint and plain neutral walls alike, and the gold print catches the glow of a lamp in the evening. Its slim, upright shape fills a narrow gap between shelves or beside a door without crowding it. It works as well within a group of framed prints as it does on its own.
The design is printed on the front only. The reverse is plain cream, with a dark green band along the top edge beneath the rod. The cord is tied to each end of the rod, and the tassel is fixed at the lowest point so it falls straight. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and hang it out of strong direct sunlight, which can fade printed colours over time. Place it at eye level for the clearest view of the lettering. For a present, it wraps easily in a long, flat box.

Frequently Asked
How big is the Diagon Alley wall banner?
It measures 48.7cm on its longer side and 26.8cm on its shorter side, and it is 1.3cm deep, so it fits a narrow wall space easily.
How does the banner hang?
A cord runs from each end of the slim rod across the top, so you can hang it from a single hook or picture nail.
What colours is the banner?
The front is dark green with gold print, a green and white building and white owls. The reverse is plain cream with a green band along the top, and the tassel is pale gold.
Is the design printed on both sides?
No, the design is on the front only. The reverse is plain cream with a dark green band across the top edge, so the banner is made to hang flat against a wall.
How should I look after it?
We suggest dusting it gently with a soft dry cloth and hanging it away from strong direct sunlight, which can fade printed colours over time.
Where would the banner look best?
It suits a bedroom, a study or a reading corner, and its slim upright shape fits neatly beside a door or between shelves.
