Weasley's Wizard Wheezes
Although their mother wanted the twins to work for the Ministry of Magic like their father, the twins' ambition was to open a joke shop to sell their inventions. With Harry's seed money, the twins did just that, first testing their product ideas, then launching an mail-order business "Weasley's Wizard Wheezes," during their last year at Hogwarts. After they quit school they opened a very successful shop at 93 Diagon Alley. With the 1996 closure of Zonko's in Hogsmeade, the twins now appear to have a monopoly on the magical joke and gag industry, in fact the twins told Harry were considering buying the Zonko's shop.Inventions:
