Summary
A dedicated gamer online has recreated Diagon Alley from theHarry Pottermovies using the settlement-building tools inFallout 4. Even if these two franchises seem extremely different thematically, there’s something about seeing Diagon Alley inFallout 4that many seem to enjoy.
When the game was first released, base building inFallout 4was touted as a key new feature for players to experience. The demo of Todd Howard showing it in action remains iconic to this day, and the feature itself has been used many times over the years to create some incredible and unique builds. It’s always intriguing when players utilize the tools to bring scenes and locations from other games and movies to life. OneFallout 4player recently built a town inspired byMad Max, which thematically fits almost perfectly with the world ofFallout.

The video was posted by YouTuber SirBalz, showing the amazing settlement that bringsHarry Potter’s Diagon Alley into the world ofFallout 4. Despite being made within the confines of the game engine, the location is instantly recognizable to fans of the franchise, although the radiation storm used to show off Diagon Alley certainly gives it a creepier vibe than people might be used to. That said, all of this isn’t just for show - Diagon Alley looks like a totally viablelocation for a settlement build inFallout 4, even if it would need a few more defenses to get it to that point.
According to SirBalz, they are using a few building mods for the game to make this level of construction possible. These mods are Workshop Rearranged, Snappy House Kit, and Scrap Everything, all of which make the building tools a little more intuitive and versatile to use. There are plenty ofamazingFallout 4settlement modsout there, and it’s great to see them put to use to bring something as iconic as Diagon Alley to life.
Considering how important settlements are to theFallout 4experience, it will be interesting to see what role they play in any potential upcomingFallout 5. Debates are already raging online about what they could entail - some even feel thatFallout 5can be so much more than settlements. It’s certainly an interesting idea, but givenStarfield’s focus on a similar system, gamers should expect settlements to be a core ingredient of the Bethesda formula for years to come. WithThe Elder Scrolls 6seeming more likely to arrive beforeFallout 5, it’ll likely be some time before players know exactly what the game will entail regardless.
Fallout 4is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
