As mentioned in the article on [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Knockturn Alley|Knockturn Alley]], there will be places where Dark wizards can trade, places where "decent wizards don't go." Borgin and Burkes clearly is one such; while they do appear to do a reasonable amount of trade in non-Dark artifacts, as seen by Tom Riddle's negotiations with Hepzibah Smith regarding a suit of armour, and Smith's purchase of Slytherin's locket, their dealings with Lucius Malfoy clearly indicate that they do not discriminate between Dark and regular magical artifacts. We do not know whether this lack of discrimination controlled their settling in Knockturn Alley, or whether the Alley grew its reputation around the store. We do know that they have been in business since before the birth of Tom Riddle, as Slytherin's locket was sold to them by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Merope Gaunt|Merope Gaunt]] before Tom was born. However, we don't know how long before that the establishment existed. The name does indicate that it was founded by a Borgin and a Burke, possibly the same Burke who still operates the place; but names mean little, as Ollivander's has been producing "fine wands since 382 BC," much longer than [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ollivander|Mr. Ollivander]], its current proprietor, can possibly have been alive.

The artifacts that we see in Borgin and Burkes, the Hand of Glory, the cursed necklace, and the Disappearing Cabinet, will re-appear, as mentioned above. The Disappearing Cabinet is apparently one of a pair; the second one is dropped by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Peeves|Peeves]] in ''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'' to provide a distraction. In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix|''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Fred and George Weasley|Fred and George]] force [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Montague|Montague]] into the same disappearing cabinet, and the following year, Draco Malfoy repairs it and uses it and its mate at Borgin and Burkes to manage an invasion of Hogwarts by Death Eaters. The jinxed necklace is given to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Katie Bell|Katie Bell]] to give to someone at Hogwarts, possibly [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Professor Dumbledore]], but she touches it on her way back to the school and is nearly fatally cursed. The Hand of Glory, finally, is used by Draco as he leads the Death Eaters into the school. Having been discovered by members of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Dumbledore's Army|Dumbledore's Army]] guarding that spot, Draco throws [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder|Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder]], then uses the Hand of Glory to navigate himself and the Death Eaters through the resulting darkness.
 
It is interesting to see that as early as the second book, the author would have been aware of the need for an artifactartifacts like the Hand of Glory and the Disappearing Cabinet in the sixth book, and would take the steps necessary to introduce itthem and itstheir properties to us. The fact that the large black cabinet would have transported Harry to Hogwarts had he closed the door completely in ''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'' is definitely of interest, and close examination of the writing of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Chamber of Secrets/Chapter 4|that chapter]], to see how the author misdirects the reader into believing Harry had closed the door, might be valuable.
