I am really fan of Harry Potter and of his universe. My favourite place in the wizard's world is Hogwart of course, but I didn't know how to make it look good in the Sims 3. So instead I recreated my second favourite place: the Burrow, the Weasleys' house.
The Burrow - is a house of Weasley family from books about Harry Potter. I thought to build this house a bit differ than in movie. Just imagine that this family has a little more money and they can make their house more comfortable.
I was inspired by the film ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUl4amon00E ) for the general look of the house, the kitchen and the living room and I tried to make the bedrooms like I imaginated them when I read the books.
The livingroom
Fred & George's room is provided with a small laboratory where the twins can invent new pranks.
There are also a few fireworks, 'just in case'.
Tell me: what exactly is the function of a rubber duck ?'

Ginny's room
I made the poster of Gwenog Jones, the captain of the Holyhead Harpies. The mesh is from the base game. Percy's room
Ron's room. The poster mesh was made by baufive ( http://www.b-5studio.com/2010/07/charting-new-territory.html ) and I found the texture on this site: http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/features/crafts/crochet/chudleycannonspillow
The bathroom
The attic (I know that a goule is supposed to be there but there is no such monster in the Sims 3)
Arthur's shed.
Ron never goes there, first of all because he doesn't share his father's passion
for the car engines but also because this place is full of spiders !
Arthur and Errol (the bird is supposed to be included in the house)
The entrance XD
It requires WA, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations and Pets. Obviously because of all the CC, the file is huge: 99,3 Mo. The lot is 50X25. Et voilà !
I honestly don’t know what my life would be like without the Harry Potter books. They made my childhood so magical, and sat with me at lunch when no one else would. I literally grew up with a HP book in my hand. Now that I’m 20, I no longer carry the books with me when I anticipate free time. I let Stephen Fry read them to me from my I-Pod instead. ;-) I was looking at all the HP cc for the Sims 2, and I was blown away by all the cool stuff available. Still, I wanted to make my own group of Sims that where true to the book’s descriptions. At first I was only going to make 3 sims. Then I decided to branch out to 7 characters. Well, I kept adding people from the books I wanted to make, and as of right now I have 35 Sims. Here is the list of characters I have already made: Harry Potter, James Potter, Lilly Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Charlie Weasley, Arthur Weasley, Molly Weasley, Bill Weasley, Percy Weasley, Fred Weasley, George Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Fleur Delacour, Narcissa Malfoy, Lucius Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, Bellatrix Lestrange, Albus Dumbledore, Rubeus Hagrid, Gilderoy Lockhart, Remus Lupin, Alastor Moody, Minerva McGonagall, Rita Skeeter, Sibyll Trelawney, Sirius Black, Dolores Umbridge, Nymphadora Tonks, Peter Pettigrew, Voldemort, Severus Snape I -think- that’s all of the characters I’ve made so far. I plan on uploading them in groups of some kind. I’m not sure how exactly I’ll do it, or when they will be uploaded. However, if the characters name is on the list above, I have already made that sim. If you have a character from the Harry Potter book series that I did not list above that you would like made, I’ll see what I can do. I do not take requests normally, but this is a different circumstance. ~!~However~!~ I will not make the Dursleys, and I will not make any of the children introduced in the final chapter of “Deathly Hallows”.
