The Burrow
The Burrow in the Harry Potter
series is the home of the Weasleys. The house is built so crazily that it
must certainly be held up by magic. It is likely to have once been a farmhouse
(though it looks more like it might have been a "large stone pigpen"), on top of
which several crooked stories look to have been added . Currently the house has
six bedrooms and six stories, plus an attic, with a rickety uneven staircase
climbing among the stories. Overall, despite the garden gnomes, the old boots
and chickens littering the yard, and the ghoul in the attic the house has a
cozy, warm feeling. Harry Potter considers the house brilliant!
My Burrow is a structure modeled
from my imagination and vision of the house. It is certainly not intended to
represent the author's description. Rik Pierce and I once again collaborated to
create this piece.
Of course there are many magical
elements to the Burrow. Look for the dishes washing themselves, the yarn
knitting by itself and the magical plants. The floor is mopping itself, there
are extendable ears hung here and there, and the tea is pouring itself in the
bedroom. There are brooms in flight, clothing just "hanging around" and
Dumbledore in the fireplace floo network. Please feel free to
contact me with questions!
Many thanks to the wonderful
contributors and friends who helped make this dream come true. Special thanks to
SaraGrace Lamb, Marcia McClain and Ericka VanHorn.
