Behind the rows and rows of wands in the back of the shop, there is a doorway. The door to the back room has been replaced by a heavy velvet curtain which almost always hangs closed. If you aren't permitted to go back here then the rope tie that hangs at one side of the curtain will give you a little smack when you attempt it, and if you still persist in trying to stick your nose in where it isn't wanted, the curtain itself will wrap you in its heavy folds and keep you there until one of the Ollivanders employees can rescue you.

There is a slight scent of wet dog in the air once you get into the office, a smell that the employees cannot be rid of after the room played host to five giant husky dogs for several years. Plenty of cores in their appropriate storage boxes, and some basic woods on hand too; though none in the boxes or hanging on the racks have yet been made into wands.

This room seems to serve several different purposes. It is an office, a workroom, and a store room all in one. This is where the day-to-day business of running Britain's premiere wand store happens, but it is also where some new wands are made. Just as there is a scent of wet dog, there is also a slightly burned smell from the few wands that don't quite make it to the shelves, and a heady scent of polish and leather also battling to be noticed. Eau de wandshop.

There is a small window, which looks out onto an impossible view: the shop itself. It is charmed this way of course and means that if the front counter is unattended, sticky fingered individuals can still be watched. There is a large desk, immaculately tidy, save the paperwork which seems to pile up daily, and a long workbench where wands are both fashioned and repaired. There is also a set of cubby shelves with each of the current employee's names labelled on the front. Interns also get a cubby for the duration of their employment, as do the wandmakers who are contracted to work here short term. A battered but comfortable-looking couch rounds out the furnishings in the room.
