Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop is a shop located on the High Street in the all-wizarding village of Hogsmeade. It caters to the writing needs of the local magical community and Hogwarts students. The shop's window features an attractive display, which once included splendid pheasant-feather quills. Inside, the shop offers a variety of writing supplies. Although the interior is not described in detail in the novels, it is known to stock different types of quills, such as the new black-and-gold pheasant-feather quill Hermione Granger purchased. The history of the shop is not elaborated upon in the novels, but its presence on the High Street suggests it is a long-established Hogsmeade business.

The shop's most notable appearance is in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. During a Hogsmeade visit on Valentine's Day, Hermione Granger decides she needs a new quill and goes into Scrivenshaft's with Ron Weasley. This occurs while Harry Potter is on a notoriously unsuccessful date with Cho Chang at the nearby Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop. Hermione's purchase of a black-and-gold pheasant-feather quill serves as a brief, mundane interlude that contrasts with Harry's awkward romantic encounter. The shop's existence helps to flesh out the world of Hogsmeade, illustrating the ordinary commercial aspects of wizarding life beyond the more prominent establishments like The Three Broomsticks or Honeydukes.
