    In the Harry Potter Books Borgin and Burkes is an antique shop located at 13B Knockturn Alley owned owned by Mr Borgin and Mr Burke. The shop had a shady reputation due to the inventory of unusual and ancient magical artifacts. It is known as the place to get "objects with unusual and powerful properties", to practice Dark Magic. Some of it's more well known customers include the Malfoy's. Tom Riddle also known as Lord Voldermort once worked as a shop assistant. One of the shops most famous items is the Opal Necklace with its label "Do not Touch! Cursed. Has claimed the lives of nineteen Muggle owners to date." Borgin and Burkes is located in Universal Studios in the section of Diagon Alley known as Knockturn Alley. You don't need to be a Slytherin to shop Borgin and Burkes. Whether Witch, Wizard, or Muggle, all are welcome to shop high end movie replicas of Death Eater masks, horcrux rings, Mirror of Erised, Tom Riddle's diary, wands, Lucius Malfoy's walking cane as well as souvenir t-shirts, pins, mugs, and keychains. As you shop be sure and check out a replica of the Vanishing Cabinet where you can hear a bird chirping. The Vanishing Cabinet is where Draco Malfoy transported Death Eaters from Borgin and Burkes into Hogwarts. If you look up you may be able to spot the troll foot umbrella holder as actually seen in the Goblet of Fire. You can also see the chest where Alastor Moody is banging to be let out. This is one of my favorite stores in the Wizarding World because it is so immersive. Knockturn Alley is very dark and it makes you feel like you have been transported to the books or the movie set. Floor to ceiling of Borgin and Burkes is filled with so many amazing things to look at. No space has been wasted. The staff really embrace the theme as well. One time I was in the store for a night time private event and I had on my Gryffindor sweater and my daughter had her Slytherin one on. The staff saw me and yelled at me to get out. LOL . This is a must stop for all Slytherins.

    Mr. Borgin and Mr. Burke would be impressed by Universal Studios Florida and the attention to detail they've shown on the little dark artefacts shop in Knockturn Alley. It's a very tiny, dim lit room filled with plenty from the Dark Arts. Have you been looking for the vanishing cabinet (I couldn't pass up a joke that obvious)? Maybe wanted posters of Dead wizards or other creepy things. This is your store. When I hit the door, I was hit by a big cool A/C blast. Yay! Speaking of cool (see what I did there). The store is filled with cool, spooky, pieces like skulls, gargoyle candlestick holders, mugs, clothes, even Lucius Malfoy's staff. You really get the feel that Harry Potter suspects Draco Malfoy has become a death eater as you stand by the spiral staircase. Over there is a young Tom Riddle hard at work. Don't forget your interactive wand, neat surprises await you. Forget critiquing the staff or talking prices. It's about the experience. Prices will be high and the staff can be rude if they want, you don't care. 8/19

    Souvenir T-Shirt Not Bought $35.00 (03/04/20). @UniversalOrlando #Orlando #Florida @HarryPotter

    (Shopped 03/04/20 WE @ 4:45pm): If you're feeling sinister, this place was for you! On the grounds of Universal Studios Resort Orlando (Universal Studios Florida to be exact), I dragged my friend into Borgin And Burkes from the popular Harry Potter children's books and movie series specifically "Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince". As a general fan of the movies (I've never read the books), this was a must for all fans to check out for some cool one-of-a-kind souvenirs. Was I put under a spell to buy gifts!? PURCHASE Bellatrix Lestrange T-Shirt ($35.00): The perfect gift for my roommate who loved this character, as soon as I saw it I instantly knew (but still snapped and sent a picture just to be sure). A slightly loose and shapeless top, this was something just to bum around in https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=2E7xu7MlQ5ZyAt9704E9XA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Borgin And Burkes Black Tights ($37.00): I decided to purchase this as a gift to my travel friend who needed some "more warm" yet casual enough. With minimal design features, this was one simple piece of clothing with a touch of Knockturn Alley darkness. SERVICE Kindly greeted by several staff members, we roamed through the narrow aisles with no assistance needed until I finally arrived at the checkout counter where I was quickly helped to complete my purchase amid a quickly-growing line. We got in and out as fast as possible which I liked. PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance) General parking for the massive theme park started from $25.00, but my friend and I took a Lyft ride in and skirted parking altogether. Also, I believed if you stayed at any of the resorts in the area, shutter services were available. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Located in the "Wizarding World Of Harry Potter" and "Diagon Alley" (Knockturn Alley to be exact https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=fZWR--w4GIs_e8e2hKypmQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw) part of the park, you initially walked down a natural lit pathway https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=r_KgBKv7uL5aGeL2b5VU2w&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw before things got downright dark with some scary window displays https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=CYYPIcpotCXYgRyAUPhnGw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Once inside, it was a jam-packed small shop filled with merchandise for all evil doers. There was no natural light whatsoever while there was minimal electric lighting for a spookier effect. There were no TVs while the boisterous sounds of conversations filled the air. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=wZxFV1UJoxx9BCnhJuMq2Q&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL If you visited Universal Studios Resort Orlando (specifically the Universal Studios Florida park portion) and were a Harry Potter fan, then you definitely had to drop into Borgin And Burkes to feed your darker side especially if you favored such characters as Bellatrix Lastrange, Draco Malfoy and more, and some malevolent relics, apparel, etc.. The merchandise was touristy-priced, but what did you expect!? I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $77.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

    Are you a Wizard or Muggle tired of those Goody Two Shoes Wizards like Harry Potter? Are you a fan of Dark Arts Magic? Then get on your Nimbus or Firebolt Broomstick and come here immediately to see Dark Art Artifacts and merchandise you may buy. For you Muggles (a person without Magical Powers), this store will probably creep you out. It is said, Borgin and Burkes has objects which have curious and strong magical properties. But then again, it has theme park souvenirs like T-Shirts. The graphics on some of the T-Shirts are the nicest ones around which celebrate magic. So what if it is Dark Magic? Take a look at the photos taken here to see the unique magical treasures you may find here. If you look hard enough you may find the store in the dimly lit Knockturn Alley, an area of shops devoted to the Dark in London. Oh, I mean in Diagon Alley in Universal Studios.

    Deep within the darkest part of Universal Studios...the deepest part of Diagon Alley....you'll come across Knockturn Alley. And in Knockturn Alley is Borgin and Burkes - the store made for the darkest of arts and most sinister of wizards. In this shop, the locked chest next to you may rattle as you walk by and scare the bajeebus out of you! It's a small, tight shop so you'll no doubt be weaving your way around other customers. But man is this shop cool! It's my favorite Harry Potter shop in all the land full of Death Eater items, Dark Art objects, dementor things, Azkaban merchandise, costumes, clothes, jewelry and collectibles. Nothing froofy or nice in this shop! As always, look at everything around you and take it all in!

    Borgin & Burkes is the centerpiece of Knockturn Alley. I loved it!!! Yes, they mostly sell merchandise, but take the time to really look and see what they have. They have quite a few reproduction pieces--both large and small--from the films. I think non-Potterheads don't realize Knockturn Alley exists. While the rest of Diagon was packed, only a few people were scattered around Knockturn. Those who were there were using their interactive wands, which was super cute to watch.

    Creepy place, creepy bloke

    I think the only thing lacking from Knockturn Alley was a horrible stench you might expect from the real thing.

    I really wish I would've read the reviews about this place before wasting my time earlier today. I…read morewas eager to go back after having dinner a few doors down the night prior and saw a lot of cute options for some sparkling new years options by looking in their windows after they had been closed. My mother and I returned ready to spend money, and I was immediately saddened by the largest size carried throughout, tops and bottoms - was a L. Either way, I decided to try on an item after being chased down by an associate to "start a room" - while I was holding an item. Never heard her do that to the pencil sized blondes in the rest of the store. Oh well. I'm heavily tattooed, I guess I'm a thief. I shrugged that off, however, the "customer service" of that act fell short. I tried on the item while the rest of the women in the store were fawned over and payed attention to as they boasted their alteration program. When I exited the dressing room, and when I gave the item back to the associate and told her it was too small I got a VERY condescending "sorry!" Nothing more. From there, I just decided to exit and not even try to shop for another item, I had really liked a jacket and a sweater. Never even got a light mention of the other store from looking at these reviews. But why should a girl be sequestered to another store just because you're a bigger size? It's very classist and downright weird. I am deeply saddened and frustrated after leaving this place. Not a girls girl place. At all.

    My family was visiting Orlando for a short road trip and we wandered around The Mall at Millenia…read morefor fun. We saw Chanel to the left of Neiman Marcus as we exited the store to the main area of the mall and noticed they had a short line to get in. (Without an appointment.) Because I was interested in buying a new pair of sunglasses, and wanted to visit the location after visiting two locations in SoCal, I stood in line for the next available clerk. The line moved in a timely manner and they tried to match up people waiting in line with the next available clerk. I would say I waited about 12-15 minutes in line before security let us in and matched us with a clerk. The clerk was very welcoming and offered to let us look around and ask questions. I went right to the sunglasses area and tried a couple of pairs on. He helped to look up a pair I had my eye on for while and we were able to locate a pair in the boutique for me to try on. While I did look at other options, I went with the pair I had been looking for and he pulled a brand new pair from the cabinets. We did look at some of the clothes and accessories in the store and the clerk shared some details and information about the collections and pieces. I was impressed by his knowledge and he seemed passionate about the brand and the attention to detail. The glasses were packaged nicely in the Chanel bag with the ribbon and camellia. Service was pleasant and smooth throughout.
