We first see Diagon Alley after Hagrid uses his trusty umbrella to tap a pattern on a brick wall. This same idea is used for the parks, where you pass by the brick wall to see what Diagon Alley has to offer. If you don’t know where to look, you might miss it.

Platform 9 ¾

Harry’s first time going to Hogwarts meant riding the Hogwarts Express and finding Platform 9 ¾ - a platform that Muggles don’t think exists. He goes around asking people, who think he’s crazy, until he finds Ron Weasley and his family rushing for the train.
