The shop was the Weasly twins' dream. However, they had a few things holding them back. Their mother, Molly Weasley, attempted to force them through their 7th and final year at Hogwarts, but they boiled over during Umbridge's time at Hogwarts and dramatically flew away on broom sticks. The money for the shop was donated to them from Harry Potter, who gave them his Triwizard Tournament prize of 1,000 Galleons.

[[Argus Filch]] banned all of Fred and George's products from Hogwarts in [[1996]]. However, as no one paid much attention to things Filch banned, this had little effect. They opened a branch in [[Diagon Alley]] shortly after leaving Hogwarts in April [[1996]], employing a shop assistant named [[Verity]]. They also intended to buy [[Zonko's Joke Shop]] in [[Hogsmeade]] in order to extend their business. However, because of Hogwarts security being raised to the point that all Hogsmeade trips were cancelled, they saw no point to this. The twins were strict with their businesses, as they threatened a boy for attempted shoplifting and charged their younger brother Ron full price for all the products. However, they allowed Harry to take anything he wanted, free of charge, which was because of his being their investor. They also accepted patronage from [[Draco Malfoy]] (whom they hated), allowing him to buy [[Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder]], which he would use against [[Dumbledore's Army]] later, something Ron would resent the twins for.

"We were thinking of buying Zonko's. A Hogsmeade branch, you know, but a fat lot of good it'll do us if you lot aren't allowed out at weekends to buy our stuff anymore..."
During their last and unfinished year at Hogwarts, Fred and George tested many of their products on students, wishing to determine if everyone responded the same to their products. GryffindorprefectHermione Granger was not pleased.
After releasing their Weasleys' Wildfire Whiz-bangs and Portable Swamp on school grounds and defecting from Hogwarts in order to rebel against Dolores Umbridge's tyrannical rule, the twins set off to Diagon Alley to fulfill their dreams of opening a joke shop, with the winnings of the Triwizard Tournament that Harry Potter gave to them.

The Second Wizarding War
The inside trio, Ginny, and Mrs. Weasley inside the shop
In the summer of 1997, the Death Eaters seized control of the British Ministry of Magic. In the spring of 1998, it was discovered that the Weasleys had been helping the fugitive Harry Potter, and the family went into hiding. Although forced to close the shop in Diagon Alley, Fred and George continued to sell their products via mail order while at their Aunt Muriel's. Fred and George both fought in the Battle of Hogwarts, where Fred was killed in an explosion whilst fighting alongside Percy Weasly.
After the War
George continued to operate the business after Fred's death, despite never fully getting over the loss of his twin.[2] Two years after Ron became an Auror he left the job, stating that he wanted to help his brother George with a shop he had always loved. Already a highly successful emporium, together they were able to successfully turn Weasley's Wizard Wheezes into an even more enormous money-spinner.[2]
Anti Gravity Hats - "Ruin a gentleman's day by making his hat fly away!"
Aviatomobile - a flying toy car. Costs 3 sickles and 11 knuts. Possibly made in the likeness of their father's flying car.
Boxing telescope - when squeezed, gives the user a black eye which is almost impossible to remove (Hermione Granger was a victim of one in 1996). Costs 12 sickles and 26 knuts.
Trick wands - turn into a variety of unexpected things when waved. The cheapest into rubber chickens or briefs when waved, the most expensive beating user around the head.
U-No-Poo - a causative product with a name meant to parody "You-Know-Who" (causes constipation).
A Range of Fireworks. This group of fireworks included the original Weasleys' Wildfire Whiz-Bangs as well as a variety of new and creative pyrotechnic products.
Weasleys' Wildfire Whiz-bangs - unstoppable fireworks that violently explode when hit by a stunning spell and multiply by ten at any attempt to vanish them. These include a shocking-pink Catherine wheel, fire-breathing dragons, sparklers that spell out profanity, rockets with long tails of silver stars, and standard firecrackers. When any two types collide, they make new effects. Include Basic Blaze Box and Deflagration Deluxe. Created by Fred and George in their final year at Hogwarts, they used these fireworks as a protest against the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher and new Headmistress, Professor Umbridge.
A line of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes products designed and marketed for witches. The whole display is violently pink. Although they were soon banned from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with the rest of the Weasley Wizard Wheezes products, they could be sent in disguised as ordinary perfume or other such bottled products such as cough potions as a part of the mail order service.
Love Potions, that when drunk, will give the drinker an obsession with the one who bought the drink (love being impossible to manufacture). They work for up to twenty-four hours at a time, depending on the weight of the boy and attractiveness of the girl. Like all love potions the effects can increase the longer they're kept. This potion is very strong and only a very skilled potioneer can make the cure for the love potions.
Patented Daydream Charms, virtually undetectable highly realistic thirty-minute daydreams (side-effects can be: slight drooling and a dazed expression, Not for sale for wizards under 16).
Pygmy Puffs, miniature puffskeins with pink or purple fur. They have small, beady eyes and ears. Ginny Weasley is a known owner of Arnold the Pygmy Puff.
Skiving Snackbox - A Skiving Snackbox is a range of sweets to make the user ill. The user develops strange symptoms depending on the type of snack eaten. The purpose of these was to make a student appear unable to stay in class. Most came in two colour-coded parts: one that would cause the malady, and one that would heal the pupil once they had left class. It should be noted that nosebleed nougat is most popular. They include: Fainting Fancies, Fever Fudge, Nosebleed Nougat, and Puking Pastilles.
All employees at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes wear a magenta robe.
Location
The first official premises of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes was at 93 Diagon Alley.
During 1997, the founders, Fred and George Weasley were known to be looking at buying Zonko's Joke Shop after it closed. However, due to various complications such as Fred's death and the return of Voldemort, it is unknown whether this purchase was actually made or not. It is assumed that it was purchased, as the business was highly successful after Voldemort's death. If this second location was purchased, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes could also have a branch located in Hogsmeade.
The Half-Blood Prince film's graphic designer, Eduardo Lima revealed that there are more than 300 names of products they had invented just for the film adaptation of "Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes".[3]
Because Harry did not give his Triwizard Winnings over to Fred and George onscreen in the film version of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, it is not clear just how the Weasley twins were able to establish Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes in the first place in the film adaption of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
The cash register used in the sixth film was bought off on eBay.[citation needed]
Despite the rebellious nature of some of these products, the twins were nevertheless subject to certain Ministry regulations.
Fred and George's latter skill with their shop was actually foreshadowed in the videogame versions of the series.
This is the only time in the games where the boys have two shops with individual names.
The PC/MAC version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets has the boys set up an economic system of merchants throughout the school, while in the console versions they set up a shop in Gryffindor tower, which is only open at night and must be accessed by sneaking through the Study Room past Percy. In the GBC version it is a shop in Diagon Alley and not connected to the Weasleys in any way.
Ironically the boys would end up opening their own shop there four years latter.
Most notably, at the back of the shop is a card with the wizard's image blocked out, which Fred and George promise to give Harry for free if he collects all other cards in the set. Collecting all of the Wizard cards unlocks Harry's own wizard card and opens the Bean Bonus Room with an unlimited timer. This is the only time in the series Fred and George have displayed the ability to access the room.
