Places - The Burrow

‘It looked as though it had once been a large stone pigsty, but extra rooms had been added here and there until it was several storeys high and so crooked it looked as though it was held up by magic (which, Harry reminded himself, it probably was). Four or five chimneys were perched on top of the red roof. A lop-sided sign stuck in the ground near the entrance read ‘The Burrow’. Round the front door lay a jumble of wellington boots and a very rusty cauldron. Several fat brown chickens were pecking their way around the yard.

‘It’s not much,’ said Ron.

‘It’s brilliant,’ said Harry happily, thinking of Privet Drive.’

The Burrow could not be more different to number four, Privet Drive, Harry’s home with the Dursleys. On his first visit to the Weasleys’, Harry is in awe of the magical objects and items crammed within and around The Burrow.

From the ghoul in the attic to the enchanted clocks and the gnome-infested garden, Harry finds that, unlike Privet Drive, magic is a part of daily life for the Weasleys and their busy home.
