{{Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Beginner Spoiler}}
George and Fred have been interested in practical jokes all during their [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]] years.
In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order 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 store premises in Diagon Alley and,
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. (We have seen these before; Fred and George have been working on them throughout ''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'', and have been testing them on themselves and first-year volunteers, and Harry has inadvertently contributed to them as well.) Other products include Daydream Charms, WonderWitch cosmetic products for young women, Reusable Hangman, trick wands and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Darkness 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
The shop employs a woman named Verity who, to Harry's amusement,
As Voldemort's power grows in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows|''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'']], members of the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Order of the Phoenix|Order of the Phoenix]] eventually must go into hiding to evade capture. This includes Fred and George, who close up shop temporarily at some point near Christmas of that year. Unrepressed, they continue operation working by mail order out of the safe house they are sent to. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Auntie Muriel|Auntie Muriel]], whose house it is, is reportedly almost driven to distraction by the endless commerce in her back bedroom.
In interviews after the publication of the final book, the author has said that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron]] also worked at the shop for a while after graduating from Hogwarts.
