>can make billions of dollars on a whim thanks to magic
>his family never brings that up for some reason and doesn't ask him to do it
>he doesn't just go live in a luxury hotel
What's the logic here?
>can make billions of dollars on a whim thanks to magic
he's a child but is more economically responsible than the government
book explanation is that it's a fantasy story for kids. it's almost entirely allegorical. the reason magical people don't conjure money is that they would no longer be magical (or at least they'd turn evil (but most probably: "it wouldn't work if they tried because it's of a material world" and other such bs)).
I am magical and I make money
it's straight up Pan's Labyrinth. he's really locked up under the stairs the entire series, deluding himself that magic is real to cope with his crushing reality.
That'd be a much better ending. After Harry kills no-nose, he breaks out of his mental cage and realizes he's been in the cellar the whole time and he's 18 now, time to get a job wagie.
Harry potter wouldv been dope if it was an inner city hogwartz and he used magic to rob banks.
Book explanation is that he's protected by a spell as long as he lives with a relative.
Eat shit adopted kids blood magic is real
>parents left an inheritance of literal piles of gold
>still lives with his abusive relatives underneath the staircase for some reason
>British Government
Can’t use magic in the muggle world or make money out of thin air
Women aren't good at worldbuilding, their brains just aren't wired like that (autistically).
He would crash the world economy
Nonsense. At worst he would be a convenient financial instrument to rectify cascading failures as a result of pension-backing credit swap debt in case of an unlikely large scale default.
How many would survive such an event?
we're headed toward another crash anyway, so fuck it
Good, I'll be able to buy a house then
lol no you won't
y..yes I will shutup
with no survivors
If somebody killed Harry, would the money he created out of thin air still exist or is it somehow anchored to his existence and would simply vanish?
Not really, one person with infinite money wouldn't change much because all our money is based off trust that it's valuable. If no one knew he was a sudden trillionaire it wouldn't matter because the massive money now in circulation we'd treat it exactly the same because as far as we know there's the same amount of money in circulation and we all trust it to be that same value
>Harry teleports to Wall Street
>Charms the opening bell with a memory wipe spell
>Hexes all windows systems to say nagger on the screen
>Shorts Microsoft
>?????
>Profit
The Fed prints on average half a billion dolllars a day. He could make himself a multibillionaire and barely affect the economy,.
sorry but that's been debunked. they only printed few billions these past few years, mostly due to the COVID outbreak and lockdowns.
>mostly due to the COVID outbreak and lockdowns
so now that the lockdowns are over and COVID is officially a flu that means the printing will stop, right?
no, currently we're in a proxy conflict with russia so the situation is still severe
convenient
I wonder what the next excuse will be after people stop giving a shit about muh russia
just kill yourself you fucking slave
>could live with Hagrid
>Weasleys would happily accept him
>could stay at Hogwarts full time
>is forced to be stuck with his abusive extended family that hate him
>Living with a smelly giant who likes keeping magical creatures that can potentially kill him
>Living with a piss-poor family of ingrate failures who probably can't afford another mouth to feed.
>Wrong
The Dursleys fed and clothed and mentally abused him, it kept him from getting high off of his own farts like he would've ended up like if he'd lived with wizards.
>can make things float with magic
>still carries his schoolbooks around
Dumb cracker
>All 500 kids bumping into each other with their personal tenser's floating disk
For me it's the Goblet of Fire
>evil guy sneaks into Hogwarts and pretends to be a teacher and turns the trophy into a port to Voldemort
>Harry has to win all the competitions and reach the trophy before anyone else does it just so he can teleport to Voldemort
>Instead of just turning his toothbrush or a shoe or something into the port so that he's guaranteed to touch it.
I kek every time I realize there's a whole book revolving around this retarded fucking plot
They wanted Harry to appear before them at that particular time and place.
he's a fucking child, just chain him up till its time
>ultimate copium because the midwit though he min/maxxed a movie
The evil dude was literally a hogwarts teacher all the fucking time. He could just wait and do nothing and then when the time came he could say "Yo harry could you pass me this shit" and it's actually a port to voldemort
>why doesn't Voldemore just hire some yardie to mozambique drill Harry when he goes out to buy milk or something?
Kidnapping Harry during the middle of the school year would have aroused the attention of the ministry and he didn't want the rest of the Wizarding World to know that he's back before he could recuperate.
Voldemort figured that the triwizard tournament was the best opportunity to kidnap and kill Harry since people have died during the tournament before and Dumbledore wouldn't have been able to prove it was Voldemort.
He wanted Harry's death to be seen as an unfortunate accident from the tournament. It's why the cup is setup as a portkey to return to Hogwarts, he was going to send Harry's body back with it.
If Harry jyst randomly disappeared from school suddenly, Voldemort or his followerswould be immediately suspected.
why not make the egg a portkey?
Because that was the only event that the audience could actually watch, I guess. They'd see him vanish as soon as he touched the egg.
>Second task
The audience stands in the cold watching a lake for an hour.
>Third task
The audience stands in the cold watching a hedge for an hour.
It's a pretty crap tournament when you think about it.
When you put it like that yeah, they should have had girls from french school dancing on stage while contestants were doing their thing
magical counterfeiting is probably against some wizard law
harry potter was the least magic magic shit ive ever watched. best part was when hermione threw a rock at that werewolf. a rock.
>she didnt have her wand
>THE GREATEST SWORDSMAN TO EVER LIVE DIDNT HAVE A FUCKING SWORD?
He'd literally have his wand broken and raped daily by the demon dudes in azkaban if he did it
It's already been proven that the wizards in britain keep a database on all children of wizarding families and can track them down whenever it's needed
>casts another wine from nowhere spell
when you grow up in poverty you put less value on money because you learn to live without it. this is the real reason why it's hard for lower class people to upgrade to middle class. it's called culture of poverty.
living longterm in hotels is actually pretty shit
>McGonagall is 60 something in 2001
>she's also 30 something in 1920
Yeah, this series makes a ton of sense
I wish that were my room
I don't care about Harry Potter but the idea of a little side room under the main staircase reminds me of Amityville/The Conjuring. Random remark: on the Space Station, the astronauts' sleeping quarters are small enclosures about that size, with bits of gear on the walls sort of like what he has going on there.
Because muggle money is worthless to a wizard. They could transfigure practically anything they want, why would they waste time trading with dirty muggles?
And the reason why Harry lives with the Dursleys isn't money, it's because he's a minor.
>his family never brings that up for some reason
They hate magic.
