The Leaky Cauldron sign actually leaks.
the spot for hearty English fare in Universal’s Diagon Alley. You can start the morning with a full English breakfast or stop in to try the fish and chips, bangers and mash, or cottage pie for lunch or dinner.
Designed to look like the pub and inn of the same name from the
Harry Potter books and films, the Leaky Cauldron’s dingy brick exterior opens to cathedral ceilings, weathered furniture, and a large cracked cauldron in the hearth.
Despite the crack, this cauldron doesn’t leak, but the wrought-iron sign above the inn’s entrance does. If you look at the ground beneath the sign of a witch stirring whatever potion is brewing in her cauldron, you may notice a small puddle. If you look up, you’ll see small drops of water falling from the crack in the witch’s cauldron. It’s a tiny detail that’s easy to miss, but it’s fun once you spot it.
