Many of the shops in Knockturn Alley, such as {{Visible anchor|Borgin and Burkes|Borgin & Burkes|text=Borgin and Burkes}}, are devoted to the [[Dark Arts (Harry Potter)|Dark Arts]]. Objects that have appeared in Borgin and Burkes include a cursed opal necklace, a [[Hand of Glory]], and a [[Vanishing cabinet|Vanishing Cabinet]] which is used by Draco Malfoy to infiltrate Hogwarts in ''[[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince|Half-Blood Prince]]''. Voldemort worked at Borgin and Burkes briefly during the 1940s. The shop is owned by Caractacus Burke and Mr. Borgin, though Mr. Borgin is the only owner to appear in the novels and films.
