LEGO set 10217, Diagon Alley, depicts the magical shopping street from the Harry Potter universe. Released in 2011 within the Harry Potter theme, it contains 2029 pieces and brings together characters connected with the shops and visitors of the location.

The model represents Diagon Alley, a central Harry Potter setting where wizarding students buy supplies, wands and specialised magical goods. Within the LEGO Harry Potter theme, it functions as an urban display scene, focused on shopfronts and street atmosphere rather than on a single isolated building.

The build uses 2029 pieces and includes 11 minifigures. The line up features Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Rubeus Hagrid, Lucius Malfoy, Fenrir Greyback, Fred / George Weasley, Garrick Ollivander, a skeleton and two goblins. This selection covers students, adults, shop related characters, creatures and antagonists, giving the street a broad cast.

The set is suited to display and to character driven play in the wizarding world. Its appeal comes from the combination of recognisable commercial locations and a varied minifigure selection. Among Harry Potter sets, it sits apart from Hogwarts focused releases by showing a public shopping area, useful for collectors who want the world beyond the school.
