The Burrow

Location from harry-potter-goblet-of-fire by

The Weasley family home — Harry's summer refuge before the Quidditch World Cup, full of Weasley chaos, Molly's cooking, and the Portkey to the campsite on Stoatshead Hill.

The Burrow is where Harry's fourth year effectively begins — arriving by Floo after the Privet Drive incident, eating Molly's cooking, sleeping in Ron's violently orange room, and walking to the Portkey on Stoatshead Hill at dawn for the Quidditch World Cup. The house is at its warmest and most chaotic, the war not yet arrived, the family not yet fractured by Percy's defection. The Portkey — an old boot on the hill — takes them to the World Cup campsite, where Arthur Weasley attempts to set up a Muggle tent and Harry experiences the wizarding world's largest sporting event for the first time. The joy of the World Cup is shattered by the Dark Mark cast over the campsite — the skull and serpent in the sky that sends the crowd into panic and marks the beginning of everything that follows.

Appearance

A tall, narrow house that looks like it was once a stone pigpen with rooms added in every direction, held together by magic. Garden full of gnomes. Chickens in the yard. Inside: Molly's cooking, the family clock, and more Weasleys than the house was designed to hold. This summer the house is bursting — Harry and Hermione are staying for the World Cup, and every Weasley is home.

Also known as: the Burrow, The Burrow, the Weasley house
