The Burrow Besieged was an event which happened during the Calamity.[1]

Brilliant Ron Weasley's Bedroom[]

"Harry, what did you do? Mum says there's a crowd of witches and wizards hanging round the Burrow!"
Ron Weasley[src]
"What? Why do you think I did anything?"
Harry Potter[src]
"No one drawe a crowd like you, mate. Did you give an interview or something?"
Ron Weasley[src]
"No, he didin't! The Burrow was just featured in the travel guide "One Hundred Historical Sites from the Second Wizarding War". Those witches and wizards are tourists, Ron."
Hermione Granger[src]
"Oh... Mum is not going to like that."
Ron Weasley[src]
"I'm more worried about how the Calamity is going to respond to all those people thinking about The Burrow..."
Harry Potter[src]
Images Name Description Remarks
Brilliant Young Ron Weasley WU
Brilliant Young Ron Weasley With his mop of ginger hair and hand-me-down jumper, young Ron Weasley may not have looked like a typial hero, but he was instrumental in overcoming the forces of darkness in the Second Wizarding War.
"Poor Mum and Dad keep seeing my Foundable lurking around and thinking I've come home for a visit. Like I'd go anywhere near The Burrow right now.

Tourists everywhere, and now Weasley Foundables, too? It sounds like a madhouse... more mad than usual, I mean.
"
Ron Weasley[src]
Brilliant Decoy Detonators WU
Brilliant Decoy Detonators These mechanical aids for magical mischief were designed by Fred and George Weasley. Ministry of Magic records indicate that these distraction devices may have been utilised during an undisclosed infiltration of Ministry office.
"I sent Dad a load of Decoy Detonators to scare off those tourists... but all they managed to do was startle the chickens.

Dad's covered in feathers and has been pecked half to death...

...but Mum says that does not excuse him from helping out returning Foundables.
"
Ron Weasley[src]
Brilliant Weasley Is Our King Banner WU
Brilliant Weasley Is Our King Banner A relic of Hogwarts' past, this banner was likely displayed during a Quidditch game. It proudly proclaims, "Weasley Is Our King", a reference to Gryffindor Keeper Ron Weasley's goalkeeping prowess.
"Did I ever tell you that I was Keeper for the Gryffindor team? Called me their king, they did. They sang a song about me, how did it go again..."
Ron Weasley[src]
"If you mum knew that you were reminiscing about you Quidditch days while her garden is being overrun by tourists AND Foundables of you old rubbish..."
Hermione Granger[src]
"No, thats's how the song went at all."
Ron Weasley[src]
Ron’s Comic Book WU
Ron's Comic Book This wizarding comic revolves around a hapless French Muggle and his misadventures in the non-magical world.
"I feels like just yesterday that Mum was telling me to pick up the comics littering my bedroom floor. Now here I am, cleaning up their Foundables..."
Ron Weasley[src]
Brilliant Wizard Chess Set WU
Brilliant Wizard Chess Set Unlike Muggle chess, Wizard Chess pieces violently attack each other for the amusement of the players. It is rumored that Ron Weasley used this set to teach Harry Potter how to play.
"Mum says that a few less savoury tourists are searching the Burrow grounds for "artefacts of historical value" — anything they can sell, more like.

If they knew that Harry and I used to play with that Wizard Chess set together, they'd probably try and steal the Foundable too!
"
Ron Weasley[src]
Brilliant Pigwidgeon WU
Brilliant Pigwidgeon Pigwidgeon (affectionately known as "Pig") was a miniature scops owl given to Ron Weasley by Sirius Black. Although he was rather small for a post owl, pig proved himself by eagerly taking on deliveries of all sizes.
"The real Pig is probably enthusiastically helping Mum deliver Howlers to the publisher of a certain travel guide right about now."
Ron Weasley[src]
""One Hundred Historical Sites from the Second Wizarding War" is flying off the shelves. I don't think your parents have seen the last of their tourists, Ron."
Hermione Granger[src]
"What I can't figure out is, who besides you would even buy a book like that?"
Ron Weasley[src]
"Just because you're not interested in wizarding history, Ron..."
Hermione Granger[src]

Brilliant The Burrow Grounds[]

"Hermione, did you see this? "One Hundred Historical Sites from the Second Wizarding War" hit number seventeen on the Daily Prophet's Bestsellers List!"
Ron Weasley[src]
"Oh dear, this isn’t blowing over at all. How are your parents coping with all of the tourists showing up at The Burrow?"
Hermione Granger[src]
"You know how Mum is. Even though they're pests, she going mad trying to make The Burrow more presentable for he "guests".

Alll the Traces cluttering up the place aren’t helping, though. The sooner this Calamity surge is over, the better.
"
Ron Weasley[src]

Brilliant Young Ginny Weasley WU
Brilliant Young Ginny Weasley The daughter of Arthur and Molly Weasley. Ginny was a seasoned Quidditch player and expert martial spellcaster. She is known for playing professionally for the Holyhead Harpies and her expertise with the Bat-Bogey Hex.
"How’s Ginny holding up being a Foundable and all?"
Ron Weasley[src]
"She says she'd be a lot happier about it if she could send her Foundable in her place to The Burrow. Your mum has recruited her for crowd control."
Harry Potter[src]
Brilliant Flying Weasley Car WU
Brilliant Flying Weasley Car Rumored have long persisted of an enchanted vehicle roaming free in the Forbidden Forest. Witness descriptions match reports of a flying vehicle previously spotted over London, though any connection remains unconfirmed.
"Say what you will about the Calamity, Dad is actually chuffed to see that old flying car again, even if it’s only a Foundable."
Ron Weasley[src]
Brilliant De-gnoming Gloves WU
Brilliant De-gnoming Gloves The Weasley family used these De-gnoming gloves to protect their hands while purging their garden of pests, a process that involves hurling gnomes as far away as possible.
"With all the strange witches and wizards around, it seems the The Burrow's gnomes have vacated the garden. Mum says that it’s nice to take de-gnoming off her chores list."
Ron Weasley[src]
Brilliant Arthur Weasley’s Shed WU
Brilliant Arthur Weasley’s Shed The contents of this shed are a testament to Arthur Weasley's obsession with artefacts of Muggle ingenuity: an assortment of plugs, various rubber ducks, a printer, and two noiseless portable typewriters.
"Mum had to cast protective charms on Dad's shed to keep the visitors out.. can you imagine a load of tourists discovering his collection of Muggle rubbish?"
Ron Weasley[src]
Brilliant Burrow Sign WU
Brilliant Burrow Sign This welcoming and faded wooden sign alerts visitors that they have found The Burrow, home of the Weasley family.
"According to Dad, that old sign has become quite the photo op for wizarding history buffs. I suggested charging a fee, but he wouldn’t hear of it."
Ron Weasley[src]
Brilliant Errol WU
Brilliant Errol A Great Grey Owl, long past his prime, Errol provided somewhat unreliable delivery services to the Weasley family.
"I never missed Errol more. What I would give to have letters from The Burrow go astray right about now..."
Ron Weasley[src]
"How are your parents doing, Ron? Still battling tourists at The Burrow?"
Harry Potter[src]
"They're great, actually. The tourists are starting to dwindle, and the Calamity seems to be moving on, as well.

A couple of the tourists even erected a plaque "in honour of the Weasley family's contributions and sacrifices" during the war.

It’s not official or anything, but it’s kind of sweet. I think Mum and Dad are pleased, even if they won't admit it!
"
Ron Weasley[src]
