Arrival at Diagon Alley and Hagrid as Security

PAGES: 109-111

Harry and the Weasleys arrive at Diagon Alley in a Ministry car, greeted by Rubeus Hagrid, who has been assigned as their security. Hagrid takes them through the Leaky Cauldron, which is unusually empty, and into Diagon Alley. The group notices that Diagon Alley has changed dramatically, with many shops boarded up and filled with ominous Ministry posters warning about Death Eaters.
