Based solely on what appears in the Harry Potter movies, there appear to be inconsistencies with the existence of some things in the muggle vs magical realms.

In Harry Potter, there are clearly magical realms overlaid on the everyday muggle world, which are invisible/inaccessible to muggles, at least without magical intervention. Among them, I believe are:

• Diagon Alley
• Platform 9-3/4
• Hogwarts Castle
• The Black family residence at Grimmauld Place
• The Ministry of Magic

The Burrow seems to be an inconsistency - it appears to exist in the real world, despite open displays of magic, including the family "clock" device showing the location of various family members, and the dishes washing themselves, and even the improbable structure itself - it seems to need magic just to hold itself up. It ought to be in the magical realm, but there is never any indication that anyone crosses between magical and muggle realms when arriving or leaving.

In which realm (magical or muggle) does the Burrow exist? How is this apparent inconsistency resolved?

Likewise, the Hogwarts Express line seems inconsistent - platform 9-3/4 is clearly hidden from muggles, but when Harry and Ron take the car (in the muggle world) to catch up to the train, they make no explicit crossing into a magical realm, suggesting that the train is traveling the muggle world despite its departure from a magical platform.

The Burrow (Weasley family residence, first seen in Chamber of Secrets) appears (on screen at least) to be a rather improbable structure, filled with magical artifacts (such as the family member "clock"). It seems to belong in the magical realm, yet Harry first encounters Ron on the muggle platform, having to traverse the portal to the hidden platform 9-3/4. Is the Burrow in the magical realm or the muggle realm?

Similarly: platform 9-3/4 is in the magical realm, but in Chamber of Secrets, Ron and Harry fly the car (in the muggle realm) from King's Cross station to catch up with the train, without explicitly crossing out of the muggle world. Does that place the Hogwarts Express line (and/or train) in the magical or muggle world?
