{{Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Beginner Spoiler}}
 
George and Fred have been interested in practical jokes all during their [[Muggles'_Guide_to_Harry_Potter Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Hogwarts_School_of_Witchcraft_and_WizardryHogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]] years. ZonkosZonko's Joke Shop was their favorite store in [[Muggles'_Guide_to_Harry_Potter Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Hogsmeade|Hogsmeade]]. Beginning in [[Muggles'_Guide_to_Harry_Potter Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Goblet_of_FireGoblet of Fire|''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'']], they turn their (often underestimated) talents to inventing and developing unique wizarding jokes and novelties. They begin a small mail order business, which we hear about when their [[Muggles'_Guide_to_Harry_Potter Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Molly_WeasleyMolly Weasley|mother]] discovers the order forms and expresses her disapproval. Their dream of expandingstarting their own joke businessstore is realized when [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]] gives them the 1000 Galleon [[Muggles'_Guide_to_Harry_Potter Guide to Harry Potter/Major_EventsMajor Events/Triwizard_TournamentTriwizard Tournament|Triwizard]] prize he won. Harry says that given [[Muggles'_Guide_to_Harry_Potter Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord_VoldemortLord Voldemort|Voldemort's]] return, "We could all do with a few laughs."
 
In [[Muggles'_Guide_to_Harry_Potter Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order_of_the_PhoenixOrder of the Phoenix|''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']], the twins actively test and market their products at Hogwarts, often using first year students as paid guinea pigs. Somewhere during the year, they secure the WWWstore premises in Diagon Alley and eventually leave school early to operate WWW full-time.
 
In contrast to the ordinary buildings around it, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes<ref>For American readers, it should be noted that wizard, as an adjective, is similar in meaning to "terrific", and wheeze is a synonym for joke.</ref> is described as "hitting the eye like a firework display." A poster in one window reads ''WHY ARE YOU WORRYING ABOUT YOU-KNOW-WHO? YOU SHOULD BE WORRYING ABOUT U-NO-POO - THE CONSTIPATION SENSATION THAT'S GRIPPING THE NATION!''.
 
When [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]], and the Weasleys visit the shop at the beginning of ''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,'' it is completely packed with customers. The shop sells all sorts of tricks, toys, and novelty items, such as [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Skiving Snackbox|Skiving Snackboxes]], which make you appear ill so you can get out of class. Other products include Daydream Charms, WonderWitch products for young women, Reusable Hangman, trick wands and [[Muggles'_Guide_to_Harry_Potter Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Darkness_PowderDarkness Powder|Peruvian instant darkness powder]]. All of the magic deployed is quite sophisticated and probably beyond the capability of the average witch or wizard. Even Hermione is quite impressed with the magical knowledge and skill employed by Fred and George. Fred tells Harry that they also do steady business selling Defence Against the Dark Arts products, particularly to the Ministry. Apparently there are a lot of wizards at the Ministry who are unable to perform a decent [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Protego|Shield charm]], making the Twins' "Shield Hats" a valued commodity at the Ministry among other places.
 
The shop employs a woman named Verity who, to Harry's amusement, called the twins "Mr. Weasley and Mr. Weasley".
