Why this show?

"Diagon Alley" is a unique and captivating idea for a television series that offers a fresh perspective on the world of Harry Potter. The show is set in the magical world of wizarding Britain, a few years prior to Harry Potter's arrival at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This allows for a new and standalone story to be told in the Wizarding World era we know without being overshadowed by the presence of Harry Potter. The show explores the intriguing world of Diagon Alley and its characters, providing a fresh and original take on the magical universe created by J.K. Rowling.

One of the standout aspects of "Diagon Alley" is its female main character, Somnia Blotts. She is a strong, independent and intelligent young witch who finds herself on a journey to uncover the truth behind her father's death. This makes the show not only appealing to the Harry Potter fan base but also to a wider audience who may be interested in a powerful female lead. The show presents a unique opportunity to showcase the strengths and capabilities of a young woman, who is determined to solve the mystery and get to the bottom of the truth. This serves as an inspiration for young viewers who are looking for role models on their TV screens.

"Diagon Alley" also places great emphasis on the theme of mental health, as it highlights its significance and the impact it can have on people's lives. The show brings attention to this often overlooked issue, exploring the complexities and challenges of maintaining mental well-being. Through its portrayal of mental health and the struggles its characters face, the series highlights the importance of taking mental health seriously and the need for understanding and support.

The mystery aspect of the show adds another layer of excitement to the story. The audience is left guessing along with Somnia as she tries to unravel the truth behind her father's death. This creates a sense of suspense and intrigue, as the audience is kept on the edge of their seats, wondering what will happen next. The fact that the show is set in the world of Harry Potter adds a whole new level of excitement, as viewers are transported to a magical world that is familiar yet still unknown. This creates a sense of nostalgia for the fans of the Harry Potter series, while also providing an opportunity for new audiences to discover the world for the first time.

Also, the idea of a TV show set in the Harry Potter universe, but focused on the well-known yet unexplored locations, is a surefire hit among the Harry Potter fans. It's a well-known fact that the fans of the Wizarding World love the locations more than anything else, and recent polls have only confirmed this: fans were asked about their favorite scenes in the Harry Potter films and the two most popular answers were both scenes that showcased the iconic locations of Hogwarts and Diagon Alley.

Fans of the Wizarding World have always been enamored with the locations depicted in the books and films. The Fantastic Beasts series has only strengthened this love, with the featuring of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade causing a buzz among the fans when the trailers were released. A TV show that takes place in the familiar and beloved locations of the Wizarding World will be an instant success.

Diagon Alley, St Mungo Hospital, the offices of The Daily Prophet, and the new departments at the Ministry of Magic are just a few examples of the many locations that fans have always been eager to explore. These locations hold a special place in the hearts of fans, and a TV show that showcases them will not only be a great source of nostalgia but also offer new and exciting storylines. In a world where fans would rather visit these iconic locations than meet their favorite characters, a TV show that explores them is a surefire hit.

Target Audience

The target audience for "Diagon Alley" is primarily fans of the Harry Potter franchise. These fans have a deep love for the magical world created by J.K. Rowling and are eager to explore new stories and characters within it. The fact that the show takes place in familiar locations, such as Diagon Alley and St Mungo's Hospital, makes it particularly appealing to fans who have always wanted to learn more about these places.

Moreover, the series is set in the time period just before Harry arrives at Hogwarts, allowing fans to experience a new story within the familiar world they know and love. The lack of Harry himself as a central character means that the show can stand on its own, while still appealing to fans of the original series. The opportunity to see new characters and explore new stories within the magical world is what makes "Diagon Alley" so appealing to fans of the Harry Potter franchise.

The series is also perfect for those who appreciate a strong female lead and are interested in following a character as she navigates her way through a complex and exciting world.

The combination of the mystery genre with the beloved world of Harry Potter makes for a unique and captivating viewing experience.
