I'm just curious, where do you want to live, if you will just choose between the two? In the Burrows with the Weasleys that we all know, they're so poor and they say that you can't even call their house a house. Or in the Grimmauld Place with Sirius Black (I know he's dead but what if), Mrs. Black and Kreacher... with Sirius, guys, with Sirius... dont' you worry...

I would certainly live with the Wasleys at the Burrow because Grimauld place is stated in middle of muggle-London, at the Burrow you can play quidditch outside, do magic and all, you don't have to watch what you're doing in case a muggle would se it.

Well, I'm a little on the weird side here...I'm kind of drawn to dark, lonely places...windswept, empty landscapes, ruined buildings, deserted beaches, cold forests...and dark, creepy houses.

Don't ask why...haven't a clue! Guess I just like my privacy or something....*chuckles*
So, definitely Grimmauld Place. The Burrow would be too loud and in-your-face for me.

id love to live in Grimmaud Place, because its the headquater of the Order, and its always full of people: Tonks, Lupin, Mad-Eye, Mundungus

can be fun
but of course, without Sirius its a bit odd and lonley

I would like to live in Grimmauld Palace because it is headquarters to the Order of the Pheonix. But I would only live there if there was headquarters. Otherwise I would definately live with the Weasleys in the Burrow.
The thing is that if the Order is in Grimmauld Palace then the Weasleys are sure to be there as well. And there would also be Tonks, Lupin.etc.

Though I really love Sirius, I want Mrs. Black and Kreacher out of my sight so I voted for The Burrows. Though they are poor, as long we're happy, there's no problem. And I want to be with the twins... to learn something mischievious...

I agree,plus with Sirus' mom screaming,god I'd go mad there.
Plus it is dark & gloomy,I couldn't stand that.
Its in the middle muggle London too.Where at the Burrow,you can play quidditch & other stuff.Plus the Weasley seam like a nice family to be around. I'd probly playing jokes with the twins.

I would like to live in Grimmauld Place. For me, this is a magic place (as everything in this book). I would like to live there with Sisius, who for me is very fantastic person, probably one of the best in this book.

I'd live in the Burrow because it has a warm family atmosphere, home-cooked meals, they're magical so all types of crazy-fun things can happen, and each Weasley balances one another's personalities.

I'd choose the burrow.. because I'm 14-years-old but sirius is bigger than 30. You know I want a friend who is in the same age at me...

Definitely the Burrow with the Weasleys.
Grimmauld Place would be far too boring. At the burrow, many interesting things happen and the place would always be full of fun and excitement.
If I lived at Grimmauld Place I would be too scared to go to bed because Kreacher would murder me in my sleep or something.

Of course with the Weasleys!!!
Grimmauld Place would be far too lonely...and to be stuck with kreacher and that painting....The burrow is much better!
It's a warm and friendly place and i hvae not to worry about being alone........

Hello, MalfoyH8er, welcome to VTM! Please take some time to stop by the introduction thread and the other pinned topics in the Lounge forum to tell us a bit about yourself and meet the other members. The link's in my signature, if you're interested.
I'd like to take a moment here to bring you up to speed on a couple of the forum rules (and some of the older members who have been posting on this thread would do well to listen, too... **hem hem**). In accordance with the recent rules revision, one-line and otherwise short posts are no longer allowed -- you can follow the link in my signature to read more about the other rules updates. Also, I'd advise against typing in all caps, since it is often perceived as shouting on the Internet so it is likely that someone will misinterpret your meaning.
Don't take these notes as being directed specifically at you -- I don't mean to pounce on you personally straight away since you're probably still familiarizing yourself with the way we operate around here (well, obviously, you've only been here for a day, and it takes everyone a while to acclimate, hey?

), but I'm seeing some other people who have been at VTM breaking this rule as well (makes me a little irritated, guys!) -- that's the main reason why I'm bringing this up here.
With all that said.... I hope you enjoy your time at VTM -- the community here is great and growing quickly! If you have any questions/concerns about the forums, please feel free to send a PM (Private Mail) to me or any of the other mods, and we'll do our best to address anything that's bothering you about the place. See you around!
And to answer the poll question.... I'm easily for the Burrow. Who would want to live in Grimmauld Place with Kreacher?!

Especially since the last of the Blacks is dead... **cries**

great question!!

i love sirius a lot, i really do, but i'd love to live in the burrow. The grimmauld place would be fun to explore through all the old things, but i think it'd be irritating how old and broken down it was, and extremely lonely, not to mention scary during thunderstorms!

the burrow is much more the place i'd like to be. it's sounds like a lot of fun, and all my favorite characters live there. Besides, who *doesn't* want to be surronded by Weasleys?

The Weasleys' definately, they're so sweet and welcoming. And, I could get closer to Ron!

But, sometimes I might have stayed at Grimmauld Place to keep Srius company!

Well, I would most likely go to the Burrow, even though I don't particualrily like Ron and Ginny, but the others are awesome, I would love to meet Charlie and Ms. Weasley, and then Percy's gone so that's good. Grimmauld Place would be kinda freaky...even though Sirius is awesome!

The Burrow looks awesome, but I'd prefer Grimmauld Place. It seems to me that it's really big, and I'd love to explore whatever it has inside.. Plus, even though I wouldn't be allowed the Order comes to have meetings.

I would definately live in the Burrow with the Weasleys. I love the Weasleys! They are my fave family of all time! They're so fun
I don't care if they're poor, the people are awesome so it doesn't matter. By the descriptions in the book, the Burrow is supposed to be really cozy and cute. I think I'd be more comfortable there. The Grimmauld Place..well it would remind me of Sirius and it would depress me

I don't think anybody would want to go there anymore. Its so haunted by all the memories of Sirius, you know? My head would burst.
So, it's The Burrow for me!

*edit*
But me and Ickle Ronniekins can just go back to our beautiful castle anyway

The burrow seems more like a home then Grimmauld place. Plus, I come from a big family like Ron and I think its fun to have lots of family around and having a roommate!

Jul 14 2005, 07:58 PM
I would pick the Burrow because they always seem to have enough food. And no matter how cramped the space is, at least it's clean, unlike Grimmauld place. Living with Fred and George would be cool.

Well I am pulling some of the old polls to the front. I would pick Grimmauld place because I think after Harry beats Voldemort or before maybe. after he turns 17 he goes and lives there because it is in his possession. And then it would be good for him because it is also the headquarters of the order right so he would be right in on everything.
I bet that house has a lot of secret passages and things. But I would have to get that scream ing woman down before I moved in!

I voted for Grimmauld Place, bucause of my interest in DA and becoming a DE!
No realy it's a place with much more history and thing to find and play with or get killed by? I guess... Also you could get a nice rent from the OoP!
Krieltje
Aug 6 2005, 10:24 AM
I voted for Grimmauld place. You've got a lot of space there and you can see everyone walking in and out the house. I'm really social so I would love to chat with everyone who visits Grimmauld place. Of course the burrow is also visited by OotP members, but i've never seen mc Gonagall going to the burrow, so I think in Grimmauld place you will see more different people

And I think that it has a bigger history than the Burrow

I think I would want to live at the Burrow with the Weasleys. I guess it is because someone like Ron would be there to hang out with and the twins would pop in and out; with them, you know it would be a laugh.

The Burrow. Easily. I'm a big fan of Mrs. Weasley, I think she's a top mum, a little too strict for my liking, but since I'm not one of her kids she can't boss me around that much.
also because, if I was a dude, I'd totally be crushing on Ginny.

Aug 12 2005, 05:04 PM
I would love to like at Grimmauld place...There would be so much old, interesting stuff to find (even if it was a little creepy). And, if Sirius was there, that's just one more reason to stay - he's one of my favourite charactors.

The Weasley's house most definately. the Grimmauld Place has a history of such hate, i would never be comfortable living there.
The Weasley's house on the other hand, is friendly and comforting and bright. I would be very happy living in a house like theirs {especially if they lived there with me}

Without any doubt, I would chose the Burrow, because I know there lives the best cook in the world. It never gets boring there: you can work in the garden or play quidditch there or hike around, visiting Otterey St. Catchpole or whatever you'd like to do.
It's just a lovely place to live...
Wow, I feel like trying to tell someone to spend their next holiday there...

Actually, I thought this was a tough question. Grimmuald Place or The Burrow? I actually pondered about it before clicking.
I'll let you into the confusing world, that is my thoughts.
One of my favourite characters happens to be Sirius and two minutes ago I would have pressed Grimmuald Place, but I didn't and why? (I chose The Burrow) I've recently reread The Order of The Phoenix for a project in school and I found myself skipping over the chapters where Sirius was active or the chapters in Grimmuald Place. Yes, I did. The second time I reread the book I would usually go back and reread those chapters over and over again, but now I've grown to dispise them why? Simply, I think Sirius Black was acting very selfish. He's just so strange, I know... He's locked in a house he hates, but he's using Harry to get something back that he just can't get back.I really grew to clench my fist whenever he locked himself away in the room with Buckbeak. He has company for crying out load, he should be there, and not hiding and moping just because he disagrees with Dumbledore... (I'm sorry all you Sirius fans, I just grew very annoyed the last time I read it... I am truly sorry! )
So yes, I chose The Burrow and why?
It's a cosy place, it's Harry's second home. It's were Mr. Weasley is, I adore Mr. Weasley. It's were Mrs. Weasley resides and controls the house! It's a homey atmosphere with lots of love, and I am a homey person, so where the heart is, the home is. If I could live at The Burrow I would join Harry, Ginny and Ron for a quick game of Quidditch, study for awhile with Hermione, help Mrs. Weasley setting the table and nip out into Mr. Weasley's shed, just to see what he is working with...
Ah, yes...
I warned you, my thoughts can be confusing, but to my defence. I did a lot of editing to this post... And again, to the fans of Sirius. I still like him, just not in OOTP. I loved him in GOF, eg. And I am truly sorry.

I chose The Burrow. It reminds me of how things were for me growing up in a three bedroom house with 5 sisters and one brother. We always had to share, nothing I ever got was new because I'm the youngest. In fact I didn't realise until just now that my family is the exact opposite of the Weasley's. 6 girls 1 boy in mine 6 boys 1 girl in theirs.
Christmas was always fun and my mum was the best cook in the world. In fact another realisation just dawned, my mums name is Molly! And when she was training to be a cook, she was always cooking up some potion on the stove!
