In the book, Harry accidentally uses Floo power and winds up in Knockturn
Alley, a sort of Diagon Alley for dark wizards. He hides in a closet and
watches Mr. Malfoy sell some illegal wizarding junk (biting teacups,
shrinking keys, etc.) to a shop. Malfoy's spoiled brat, Draco, tells Mr.
Malfoy he wants to have a dead, withered hand in the shop window. Mr.
Malfoy declines and they both leave to buy Draco a racing broomstick
(presumably at Quality Quiddich Supplies).
In the movie, Harry examines the dead hand and suddenly gets his own hand
caught. He yanks it free and runs out to the street where he meets Hagrid.
Hope this helps,
Nathan
Lord of the LEGO
