Actually, we heard a bit indirectly.  Compare the trip to
Diagon Alley in DH to the trips to Diagon Alley in other
years.  Harry had many an ice cream at Florian's ice cream
parlor before - and they wouldn't have stopped for ice
cream that last time anyway.  People don't spent time in
shopping areas when they are nervous about them.  And
if they don't spend time there, they don't buy the peripheral
things like ice cream and sneakoscopes.
