Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm guessing it's a comment in line with those Vin Diesel or Chuck Norris ones, and refers to Diagon Alley.

I get the Diagon Alley part, but not the Vin/Chuck bit.

I'm not too sure where to link the Chuck Norris meme, but I first saw it being adapted for Neville over at the Sugar Quill forums after DH came out. One of the better lines I read there was "In the epilogue, Draco's hair wasn't receding, it was fleeing Neville!"

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Are you not familiar with Chuck Norris Facts? There are also Jack Bauer Facts.
For the few of you in here who will appreciate this, in the Avatar thread on TWoP, we do them for Toph.

I think someone started a Werner Hezog one as well.

I missed those memes. Thanks!
Still, shouldn't it be, "After Neville punched it, it was called "Horizont Alley."

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Chuck Norris counted to infinity - twice.
My favorite.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm partial to:
When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he isn’t lifting himself up, he’s pushing the Earth down.
