Flourish and Blotts is a shop in Diagon Alley where most students buy their schoolbooks, it’s located in the North Side of Diagon Alley and was established in 1654.
It held several book signings as “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” by Newt Scamander, who was sided by Leta Lestrange, his brother Theseus and his assistant Bunty.
Flourish and Blotts was briefly closed during the summer of 1991, as they were dealing with an outbreak of bookworms, sometime in early 1992, Flourish and Blotts was closed as it attempted to locate its order of Disappearing Ink. In August of 1992, famous wizard author Gilderoy Lockhart held a book signing at the shop and used it as an opportunity to announce his taking of the post of Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that year.
During that year Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley and his family including: Molly, Arthur, Ginny, Fred, George and Percy Weaslet attended that signing at Flourish and Blotts. Gilderoy Lockhart provided his entire book collection to Harry, free of charged and signed.
In late summer of 1993, the front window of Flourish and Blotts held an iron cage filled with hundreds of copies of The Monster Book of Monsters. To deal with the vicious books set for the third year Care of Magical Creatures class taught by Rubeus Hagrid, the harassed manager had to gear up with thick gloves and jab at them with a knobbly walking stick, as the books tend to viciously rip and tear each other apart. When Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley went to the shop to buy their schoolbooks, the manager almost cried when Ron and Hermione said they wanted two copies of The Monster Book of Monsters, but was very relieved when Harry noted that he already had a copy.
