Florean Fortescue, the founder and shopkeeper, sold ice cream, including sundaes, that could be enjoyed at outdoor tables. Harry spent pleasant hours here working on summer holiday assignments before his third year at Hogwarts in Prisoner of Azkaban. Mr. Fortescue himself helped him with one of his essays about historic witch burnings and supplied him with free sundaes every half hour. In the Half-Blood Prince the parlour is boarded up and Fortescue has gone missing.
