The so-called "House of Gaunt" is, when we first see it, a run-down shack with a dead snake nailed to the door. Using [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Albus Dumbledore's]] [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Pensieve|Pensieve]], via the memories of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Bob Ogden|Bob Ogden]], we find that the residence of this once-proud family is now a single-room shack, in which the three remaining members of the family reside. The building is apparently a free-hold, built on a spot of land that belongs to the Gaunt family, though the rest of the valley apparently is owned, or at least overseen, by one [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Tom Riddle Sr.|Tom Riddle]].
 
[[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Tom Marvolo Riddle|Tom Marvolo Riddle]] visits the house at one point, apparently on a mission to find something out about his ancestry. The house has not fared well, as [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Merope Gaunt|Merope]] had run away some sixteen years before, and then died, and the house had sat vacant for three years while [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Morfin Gaunt|Morfin]] had been in prison. In the course of that visit, Tom Marvolo Riddle murders his own father, Tom Riddle, and Riddle's parents, framing the one surviving Gaunt family member, Morfin, for the murder.

== Analysis ==
 
There is very little to say about the shack where the Gaunt family lives; it is, on its own, merely a poor excuse for a house. What makes this house exceptional is the overweening pride of the occupants, a pride in their ancestry that allows them, apparently, to deny the baseness of their domicile. Because this contrast is more a property of the people, than of the place, discussion of this should be in the article on [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/House of Gaunt|the Gaunt family]].
