Steph:

Well, given that the entire family are wizards, perhaps they can just
fix The Burrow with a combined "Reparo!" from six Weasley wands plus
Harry's.  Ha ha!  But really, they are wizards, they managed to keep
the house standing up with magic so I have no doubt they can fix it as
well.  Also, IIRC, The Burrow wasn't actually destroyed in DH, just
the tent in the backyard.

BTW, referencing my "reparo!" joke above, I don't say a total of ten
(which is what it should be) because it doesn't look like either Bill
or Charlie will be in, and perhaps not even Percy. Not that IMDB is
always right, but I didn't see a casting listing for Chris Rankin.  I
wonder if they're going to do anything with the Percy storyline or
he'll just be back with the family, or forgotten completely.  I'd hope
they'd at least have him back with the family as there's been no
mention of the falling out between Percy and the rest of the Weasleys.
 I hope they just didn't dump him out of the final films.
