Perfectly dark and intimidating. This shop felt exactly like I thought it would. The atmosphere was heavy and the displays were impressive. I loved seeing the animatronic snake which was definitely the focal point of the shop. I am so impressed, as with the rest of Harry potter world how perfectly the vibe was captured. Loved my copy of Tom Riddle's diary! read more

This location is located the more hidden, dark areas of the Wizarding World. Enter with caution, and wands at the ready! You never know if you'll run in to a death eater.

Don't miss Borgin and Burkes!! You'll need to explore the entire Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Florida! This is easily hidden inside the themed area! This is one of my favorite stores at Universal Studios. It's in Knockturn Alley! If you have a interactive wand, there are a lot of activities inside Knockturn Alley! It's also one of the less populated areas within Diagon Alley too! The theming of this store is outstanding! It feels like you're a part of the Harry Potter World! Borgin and Burkes was amazing though! The store was filled with a variety of wizarding objects from the World of Harry Potter. You'll find lots of the dark objects in the store too, from Deathly Hollows to even Azkaban replicas! Looking at the Death Eater masks, skulls, and even some of the costume replicas in the store, I was in awe! This is a must visit store if you're in Diagon alley! You'll find lots of apparel, accessories, jewelry, and even collectibles! This store wasn't too busy either! It's all AC which is a great spot to take a break at during the summer! read more

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. read more

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 read more

(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 read more

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. read more

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! read more

This creepy store can be found in Knockturn Alley off of Diagon Alley. It's full of all the creepiest stuff you'd expect from the Dark Side of Harry Potter. I was sorely tempted by the wanted posters but couldn't afford them all together. I didn't see them being sold individually but I will check back next time to be sure. It's definitely creep in here and feels like I've stepped into the film! read more

Dark wizards behold. Finally, a place to obtain the dark items you so desire, next to the Leaky Cauldron do not miss Knockturn Alley. Yes, inside the dark cold and deliciously evil alley you will find this store, Borgin and Burkes, that fulfills your need for the more, let us say, "interesting" items. You may find a skull, or two, a horocrux and even Bellatrix' dress and corset. Beware though, it seems Dumbledore has been seen searching for something or someone, in the area.... you don't want to cross him when you are on your way to purchase your items for dastardly deeds. read more

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. read more

I loved this shop in Knockturn alley. It was creepy and eerie just as I imagine it should be. The sales personnel were dressed accordingly and the shop was decorated with all sorts of strange wizarding objects. There are shirts and sweaters and coffee cups etc. in here with sayings about Voldemort, the dark mark, and Azkaban. You can also find some Deathly Hollows items here. Prices are consistent with the theme park read more

Borgin and Burkes - Creepy place, creepy bloke - Accessories Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Review from March 2020. If you do not visit here during your visit to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, or just Universal in general...you are completely missing out on this "halfway hidden" dark alley within the park. Do many easter eggs from the movie and it was so exciting to experience! read more

Located in Knockturn Alley, Borgin and Burkes is modeled after the shop from the Harry Potter books (duh). So dark witches and wizards, hear ye, hear ye. But really, it's a cool little shop. Dark, because it's in Knockturn Alley, with a few more "unusual" or Dark Arts items for sale. There are skeletons, skulls, even some bugs set in resin. And of course, Death Eater memorabilia. You can get the cursed necklace that Katie wore, the Hand of Glory, and things like Death Eater masks and clothes here. The Vanishing Cabinet is in the corner (complete with strange chirping sounds coming from within), and there are a lot of cool interactive spots outside where you can wave your wand around. And, unlike every other shop in Hogsmeade or Diagon Alley, you could actually move around in this store without stepping on a kid. It's kid friendly, sure, but I guess maybe a little creepy for some kids. But that's fine with me, because I like it here! read more

Death Eaters, this is for you!!! Step right into Knockturn Alley (wands out folks, you never know who you're going to find down here), hook a left past the shrunken heads, and you'll find this Dark shop. It's full of Death Eater memorabilia, and be sure to check out the Vanishing Cabinet (what's that you hear? Maybe a bird?), and there's a boggart somewhere as well. You can check out some of the Deathly Hallows, buy Bellatrix's dress, Malfoy's staff, or a wand. Watch out for the Dark Mark, and for the last time, don't put that wand away! read more

This was my favorite store in all of WWOHP! So much better than the brightly lit shops outside of Knockturn Alley. I got myself a Dark Mark shirt and a shirt with the Deathly Hallows symbol for my good friend. Definitely check this store out because there are items here that I didn't see in the other shops. And of course...the Vanishing Cabinet! read more

How did I miss this on my first visit to Wizarding World? Well, on my second visit this year, I found Borgin and Burkes. A great stop for your dark wizards. That's not me, but I can appreciate it nonetheless. Borgin and Burkes is located in Knockturn Alley. You will find Dark Arts objects, Death Eater™ masks, skulls, costume replicas, clothing, accessories, jewelry, collectibles, and gifts. Nothing was to my liking, but I am happy to see that the Wizarding World is catering to all types. read more

Absolutely loved, loved, this store! My friend had to drag me out! The skeleton and interactive wand experience outside is exactly like the movie shows and, is the best experience of both parks. The store itself is a plethora of dark mark and death eater merch. It was my FAV!! read more

Oh this was by far one of my favorite shops! What better way to escape the heat than to turn down Knockturn Alley and explore? You'll immediately be hit with a blast of A/C. Be sure to have your interactive wand ready because there are several places to use it. Some of the coolest things displayed in the windows was a mermaid skeleton and some memories trapped for future viewing. Borgins has lots of death eater memorabilia. Complete Bellatrix costumes for purchase and even a Voldemort. They have mask and lots of cute tee shirts. The last day we were there, they got in a few items that had been out of stock. One being Lucius Malfoys staff/wand and a sand time turner encased by backbones and skulls. I had to have the time turner and seriously considered the staff. Be warned that a lot of the items are very very fragile and most likely wont survive in your suitcase! Be sure to look for the boggarts in the store and admire the detail on the vanishing cabinet! read more

Knockturn Alley (cleverly hidden off a dark side shoot of Diagon Alley) is so diabolically wonderful I couldn't think of a better fit for Borgin and Burkes. This shop is small but contains items you won't find anywhere else. I purchased a lovely scarlet red t-shirt of the witch Bellatrix Lastrange. It's light and form fitting with a scooping neck in front - so it compliments my figure. I saw lots of great items for Halloween such as Gargoyle candlestick holders but I wasn't sure they'd travel home to California without getting broken by plane so I regrettably had to pass. There was a witch costume that had a sexy corset design with a long skirt - perfect if you're looking for a great Halloween party costume. There were masks and weapons so it's a great store for guys as well as women looking for unusual clothing choices. As with all the stores in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter , there is clearly attention to every detail making this and all the other stores soooo authentic. I think the only thing lacking from Knockturn Alley was a horrible stench you might expect from the real thing. You simply have to find this dark little alleyway and experience all the wand interactive experiences and this store in particular. read more

Great staff, I came in on 10/9/15 & saw a item I liked a lot but didn't purchase, well later that night while in Universal store on city walk I decided I wanted the item (a skull bowl), well, a employee at city walk store (Emlly) made a few phone for me & a Borgin and Burkes employee (Patrick)walked the bowl half way to city walk to meet Emly so I could purchased it....Both of these employees went above & beyond in customer service !!! read more
