What is the name of the Weasley twins’ shop in the Harry Potter books?

The story behind the answer

Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes is the name of Fred and George Weasley’s shop in the Harry Potter books.

Fred and George open the joke shop in Diagon Alley during Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. They use money Harry won in the Triwizard Tournament to help establish the business, after leaving Hogwarts before completing their final year. Their products include magical jokes, novelty items, and practical inventions.

The shop becomes a successful source of magical entertainment and a visible symbol of the twins’ independence. Its products include Extendable Ears, Skiving Snackboxes, Pygmy Puffs, and Decoy Detonators. The twins’ entrepreneurship also lets them turn their talent for experimental magic into a legitimate business.

Zonko’s Joke Shop is a different establishment in Hogsmeade, while Honeydukes is the village’s famous sweet shop. The apostrophe in the shop’s name reflects the Weasley family name, and the full title is often shortened informally to “Weasleys’.”
