The
Burrow
"This
is the best house I've ever been in."
-- Harry Potter
The Burrow
is a wizard house, owned by the Weasley
family. It's at least four stories tall, built so crazily that it must
certainly be held up by magic. It's located outside of the village of Ottery
St. Catchpole, but so well hidden that the postman doesn't even know
where it is. It has a ghoul
in the attic and gnomes
in the garden.
The Kitchen:
Fairly small room, with a fireplace
and a scrubbed wooden table.
Ron's Bedroom:
Located at
the top of the house, on the fifth landing of the narrow staircase, just
below the attic with its ghoul, the walls and sloping ceiling of Ron's
room are covered with orange Chudley Cannons posters. His Cannons bedspread
is a bit threadbare; it's emblazoned with the Chudley Cannons logo: two
black C's and a speeding cannonball. There's a tank of frog spawn, a pack
of self-shuffling playing cards, and other wonders here. The room has a
sign on the door reading "Ronald's Room."
Percy's
bedroom
Located on
the second floor, his room has a window that opens out onto the garden
(GF5). He spends a lot of time in his room. While he was at Hogwarts he
spent his time writing letters to Penelope Clearwater, his girlfriend.
After he left school, he worked on reports for his job at the Ministry
of Magic in his room.
Fred and
George's room
The twins
do magical experiments in their room. Mysterious explosions and noises
emanate from it. They've invented all sorts of interesting (and somewhat
dangerous) magical
items. When cleaning their room, their mother discovered a stack of
order forms for them to sell their fake wands and magical candy to kids
at school. Molly burned the forms.
Ginny's
room
On the third
landing (CS3). When Hermione stays over, she sleeps in Ginny's room (GF5).
The Garden:
The garden outside the Burrow has
gnarled trees lining the walls, plenty of weeds and overgrown grass, a
large pond, and lots of gnomes. (CS3) When the entire family is home during
summer holidays and Hermione and Harry are staying as well, there are simply
too many people for the small kitchen so they eat a delicious dinner in
the garden (GF5).
The shed:
Mr. Weasley
has stuffed the shed with various Muggle artifacts which is likes to take
apart and enchantment just for fun. He used to park a Ford
Anglia there, several years ago, but the car has gone missing.
