Quality Quidditch Supplies is a prominent and popular shop located on the north side of Diagon Alley. It is the primary destination in Britain for witches and wizards seeking Quidditch-related items, from professional-grade racing Broomsticks to team-supporting merchandise. The shop is famous for its captivating window display, which consistently showcases the newest and most advanced broomstick on the market, often drawing large crowds of admirers. According to supplementary materials, the shop was established in 1750 by noted Quidditch expert Kennilworthy Whisp, the author of Quidditch Through the Ages. (Pottermore) Its long-standing reputation makes it the go-to supplier for both amateur players, such as Hogwarts house teams, and professional athletes. Inside, the shop is stocked with a wide array of goods. Barrels of Quaffles are available for purchase, alongside sets of Bludgers and likely Golden Snitches. It also sells apparel, such as the robes of professional teams like the Chudley Cannons, and maintenance equipment like the Broomstick Servicing Kit. During the early stages of the Second Wizarding War, while many other businesses in Diagon Alley were forced to close, Quality Quidditch Supplies was one of the few that remained a thriving enterprise, a testament to the wizarding community's enduring love for Quidditch as a source of morale and escapism.

The shop serves as an important backdrop in several key moments of the series, primarily related to Harry Potter's connection to Quidditch.

• Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: Harry's first visit to Diagon Alley includes him stopping to admire the shop's window display, which features the state-of-the-art Nimbus Two Thousand. This moment establishes his fascination with the sport and foreshadows his own acquisition of the broom and his talent as a Seeker.
• Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: The shop plays a central role in the Firebolt subplot. The new, unmatched racing broom is displayed in the window under heavy guard, and Harry spends a significant amount of time gazing at it longingly. This establishes the broom's immense value and desirability, which builds the mystery and excitement when he receives one anonymously for Christmas.
• Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: Before the start of the school year, Harry, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger see the shop bustling with customers purchasing memorabilia for the Quidditch World Cup.
• Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: The shop's continued success in a nearly deserted Diagon Alley is noted by the trio. It highlights Quidditch's importance as a distraction from the growing fear of Lord Voldemort. The shop is also shown to have adapted its inventory, selling magically reinforced protective wear, including `cloak`s, `hat`s, and `gloves`.

• Window Display: The most famous feature of the shop. It is used to exhibit the most desirable new Broomstick of the season, such as the Nimbus Two Thousand and later the Firebolt, always drawing a large crowd of onlookers.
• Main Showroom: The interior of the shop is filled with all manner of Quidditch supplies. Harry and Ron Weasley observe barrels of Quaffles for sale, along with robes for various teams and other essential equipment for playing and maintaining Quidditch gear.

• The name of the shop's founder, Kennilworthy Whisp, and its establishment date of 1750 originate from the Wizarding World website (formerly Pottermore).
• In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the shop is depicted with a green and gold facade. It is the setting where Harry first lays eyes on the Nimbus Two Thousand.
• A deleted scene from the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was set inside Quality Quidditch Supplies, featuring a confrontation between Harry, Ron, Draco Malfoy, and Lucius Malfoy. (film)
