Check out the illustration in the American version of GoF, Chapter 5 -- Bill
& Charlie are levitating tables, and "The Burrow" is in the background.
Looks like one of those multi-story dilapidated American Victorian mansions
that always end up as the neighborhood 'haunted house.' Remember Harry
thought, on first sight of the Burrow, that rooms and floors had been added
on in such a haphazardly fashion that the house looked like it must be held
up by magic.

---That is a good question. I always imagined 2 floors. Unless I
really missed something. I think I'll go to the second book and
reread that chapter where Harry goes to the burrow for the first time
and see what I missed. LOL Diane :-)
