If you’re like me then you love anything dark arts related, I love reading and discovering dark spells and artefacts, I love the history and backstory of certain bad guy characters, it’s just something that interests me so I’m pretty excited to talk about Knockturn Alley and the dark arts shop, Borgin and Burke today. We’re going to look at the history of Knockturn Alley first, some of its shops and the kinda people that hang about there. Afterwards we’ll move on the antiquity of Borgin and Burke, how long ago it was founded, why it’s popular amongst dark wizards and why it still remains in Knockturn Alley today. So with that being said, welcome back to the world of Harry Potter, grab yourself a butterbeer and please enjoy todays videos on the history of Knockturn Alley and Borgan and Burke.

The Cabinet was in the shop before Draco was given the task to assassinate Dumbledore. Draco discovered that the Vanishing Cabinet at Hogwarts was connected to the one in Borgin & Burke, after Fred & George forced Graham Montague into the one at Hogwarts and he spent weeks traveling in limbo, hearing things at Hogwarts and at Borgin & Burke. He eventually managed to escape by apparating and once he was recovered, he told the story to his fellow Slytherin. This gave Draco the idea to use the cabinet and made clear to him that in the damaged state the Hogwarts Cabinet was in (Peeves demolished it 4 years prior), he needed to repair it. And that's why he needed Mr. Borgin. Borgin had to teach him how to repair it (which wasn't easy for Borgin as in ideal circumstances, he needed to see the Cabinet to assess the damage...). Combine this with the fact that Borgin would likely not be compensated properly and the high risk involved, it is easy to see why he wasn't all too interested, until he saw the Dark Mark. But I do find it interesting, that Borgin's first name isn't revealed and personally, I hope J.K. Rowling keeps it that way... It gives some dark mystic to the character, the feeling that he just one day appeared and nobody, not even Burke, knows who he really is, only that he had an uncanny knowledge of dark and priceless artefacts...

BjornV1994 The facinating thing is that in book two when Peeves wrecked the vanishing cabinet at Hogwarts, Harry hid in it's twin when the Malfoys entered the shop. He just didn't close the door fully. The cabinet in the shop is mentioned again when Harry, Ron, and Hermione are snooping on Draco in Book 6. When Malfoy steps out of site behind it while he threatens that guy.

Borgin and Burke just sees like a convenient place to get rid of evidence after committing a felony. His policy of "confidential valuation services" is just another way of saying "no questions asked", and if magical law enforcement comes knocking, Borgin just has to say "I didn't ask, they never told" and waive himself of any involvement, or knowledge of just who sold the goods.

Exactly. And that's what makes it so intriguing; it's the wizarding world's "dark side of dealmaking" represented by a shop, if you will.

Well, I would be surprised if Burke was killed off on Riddle's order, considering that A Burke family member was the original husband of his grandmother, Belvina Black, who ended up having an affair with Marvolo Gaunt, which produced Merope and Morfin Gaunt.

Can you imagine if Neville was the one Voldemort went after? It plays out the same with his parents dying and Voldemort’s defeat, and Neville’s the one that has to stay with the Dursley’s. He just gets more brown beaten than he was before, and Harry ends up becoming Palpatine in the future or something.

He wouldnt end up with the dursleys. Hed go to his grandmother just like he did anyway. His grandma was almost just as bad as the dursleys and shes the reason neville had no confidence in himself. She constantly put him down because he wasnt as instantly talented as his parents. The only difference was neville cared about his gram whereas harry didnt care about the dursleys. If neville did go to the dursleys, for some unknown reason, then hed end up with the same "fuck you" mentality harry had. Neville wanted to live up to his grams expectations but couldnt so he lacked confidence. Harry didnt care about living up to the dursleys expectations and he just wanted to avoid them devising a new torment for him. Part of the reason the dursleys were such assholes is because harry was a horcrux. Imagine raising a tiny baby for so long and still not caring about it at all. In reality 11yrs of constant exposure to a horcrux turns those around it into assholes. Petunia was jealous of her sister but she didnt hate her

thank you for doing this video I really enjoyed it
To be honest, I thought/figured that the shop was just dealing in magical artifacts. Since Voldemort worked there and they bought and sold things like the locket, the cup, and other stuff Voldemort was looking for. No one would go there if the shop was Dark Arts only.
Great vid, as always... I was wondering if there's a video on the story of the opal necklace; I'd love to see it & learn more about it.
I think we know what happened to burke. Refusing the dark lord probably wasn't the best idea. Well not exactly refusing but probably giving Draco an even harder time then he should have.
Maybe Burke met his end, Becaue he had an accident with of the artifacts? Hardly a heroes exit and not worth mentioning? 🤔

OMG I Love Your Channel!!! 💋
While it's never said in the books what became of Burke, and his only appearance is as a memory in Dumbledore's Pensieve, I just assumed that Burke had either died or just retired sometime before 1992, leaving Borgin to run the shop on his own.
This is Borgin & Burke’s, and this is our Pawn shop. Salazar Slytherin Locket? Best I can do is ten galleons.
Love the channel, would love to hear your take on what would’ve happened if Tom Riddle’s memory had succeeded in killing Ginny in COS.

The tiny shrunken heads and creepy witches made my day
My theories on Mr. Burke's fate: *1: Death/disappearance/departure of Burke* A fight between Mr. Borgin and Burke might've led to his death or disappearance. Perhaps it was who would own the business. Or maybe one was gaining more buyers than the other (or most likely, more money). Maybe Burke or Borgin were stealing from the register? It's also possible that decided to leave his position from the argument under threats, or age. *2: Accidental death/injury* It l's quite possible that Mr. Burke might've had an accident involving a cursed object in their shop. The curse could've caused him to die, or maybe cause him to be in St. Mungos for years. *3: Being Arrested* Burke might've done something illegal to land himself into Azkaban. Maybe it was the unforgivable curses. Maybe it was from an object that was TOO illegal. Or maybe it was his buying and selling strategy, like the one he used on Merope Gaunt.

I think that the first two scenarios are the most likely. Burke was fairly infamous, but the shop had been operating unimpeded for well over a century without Ministry intervention despite it being an open secret that they dabbled in dark arts (and likely stolen goods as well as goods used in the commission of a crime). Surely, anything that would be connected to the shop would also fall back on Borgin.

So question, how do they make large purchases? Do they do what we do using like a check? some type of like official note from gringots stating that X number of money is to be transferred from vault A to vault B? It would seem very impractical to carry hundreds or even thousands of galleons on your person. Even with a feather light charm and extension charm on you money pouch.
I remember reading the book and wondering where Burke was. I brushed it off thinking he might of died.
