From "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone":

--------------
"Welcome," said Hagrid, "to Diagon Alley."

He grinned at Harry's amazement. They stepped through the archway. Harry
looked quickly over his shoulder and saw the archway shrink instantly back
into solid wall.
--------------

Why is "solid wall" without "a" article? It is a countable noun, isn't it?

Bye, All!
