If you pay attention to the scenes filmed in gringotts there is literally a menorah in one scene and a star of David tiled into the floor. I don't know how they got away with it at the time but it makes me kek to this day
>walk into Ollivanders >"ayo Ollie! Hook my man Ron up with any wand he wants. Show him those high performance dragon's heart string wands. I want you to take good care of him, cause he's family."
He got handouts from his older brothers. People don't respect him regardless because the English class system that the neoliberal hag writer idolises dictates that money=respect.
>dictates that money=respect
It certainly does not. The concept of being snobby towards the new rich is practically natively British. There's a reason wealthy City traders go and by country manners and get into toff hobbies and play the gentleman, because the rich lifestyle in London isn't respected by the upper class. Rowling literally did it herself as she's an aspirational middle class stereotype from teeth to toes. Some landed aristocratic heiress living "modestly" (relatively speaking, of course) off her inherited property statusmogs an oik like Rowling whose net worth is far higher.
You should never act as the wallet for your friends, even if you can it will either result in them taking advantage of you; or throws off the power balance and makes them feel indebted toward you.
You should only give charity toward them if you ask them out to do something they can’t afford, or if it’s an extreme emergency for them and they have no other options.
My parents had a semi successful transport company (dad was an owner operator semi truck driver), When I was 17 they won the lotto at the time was huge and had been bumped up for multiple weeks. This was around 2009 and the trucking industry was in shambles here both due to the financial crisis and the Work Choices Act.
My dad knew exactly two men he could trust and rely on, one was a diesel mechanic wanting to get off the tools and the other a coach driver for a touring company. He offered them a deal where he would be the financial backer (with his truck as *collateral*) and get a truck and trailer each to work under him and all they would have to do is pay for half fuel while the loans were paid off. He never told them he won north of 30 million.
My parents gave myself and my sisters 2 mil each. To do with as we please. My immediate kneejerk reaction was to buy my close mates a car each. My parents stopped me and insisted I buy nothing over 30k for myself only, which was a brand new small car like a ford focus or something at best. I bought a second hand XR6 and a Yamaha Virago 750cc for a combined 28k.
Best decision I ever made. in 5 years I stopped talking to 95% of my 'mates' as did my sisters with their 'friends' for completely unrelated reasons - most having nothing to do with us just group dynamics breaking down post school and uni. The only 2 mates I kept in touch with and still hang out with today are reasonably upper middle class starting from working class and still do not know I am worth 10 times their mortgages. They think I am just daddies boy in his company earing an above average wage. I genuinely work hard and am unofficial tech support for the boomers. Dad insisted I either stay in school or work and not to become a junkie or alchy.
IF my remaining mates were ever in dire straits I would absolutely bail them out. I hope the day never comes they are desperate for my help.
>>2 top of the line brooms
he was the youngest seeker, one was a gift from his house head and the other from sirius
' family house
who was his godfather >>owl
also a gift
you can't order in a new wand for someone, that person has to form an actual "connection" with one. also you really think ron's parents would accept harry's money for something so essential for a wizard lmao
>2 top of the line brooms
Both were gifts. Neither were asked for. And one was stolen with murderous blood money. Not the one Sirius gave him, that one was purchased legally. >Sirius' family house
Because that's how inheritance works. When Elon Musk dies, do you reckon his house automatically pass down to the neediest person or to his next of kin? >sword of Godric Gryffindor
This was never actually given to him. It was a Dumbly trickypoo >owl
Another gift. Hagrid wanted to be nice >free books
The only free books he ever received were from Lockhart, who did it as an obvious publicity stunt. >Ron's sister
Rowling admits this was a mistake
>Sirius' family house
Sirius' family is basically extinct. The last surviving members besides Sirius are Bellatrix Lestrange and Narcissa Malfoy. Obviously he gives everything to Harry and not to the Voldemort worshipping shechuds that he hates.
The gold price per coin when the movie was released was $260 per coin in the real world. Harry used 6 coins to pay for the whole trolly of candy. Since the trolly certainly did not contain candy valued at $1560, the purchasing power of the coins were even lower than in the real world.
Meaning that big pile of gold was probably enough to afford Harry a regular sized house. He was middle class at best
the candy only cost half a galleon. The rest was a large tip to the Trolley witch, who was going to have to spend the remainder of the 16 hour trek to Hogwarts dealing with a bunch of crying, hungry children
Ok but dollars are literally just pieces of paper with no value whatsoever to wizards who could just conjure them from nothing if they ever for some reason needed them.
Remember when the Harry Potter movies had a sense of Spielberg-esque wonderment & adventure before they turned into soulless pap where wands became guns?
If harry had any pimp in him he would have been nagging hermoine constantly to lower her self esteem then one day when she was at her lowest make her an offer.
The when he completely killed her pride and ego he could have tricked her out to the whole upper echelon of slytherin.
Buy his way back into the good graces of voldemort
If he just bought Ron a wand then Ron wouldn't have learned anything. Some times the best thing you can do for your friends is nothing.
Like when you find out your best friend is gay and got kicked out of their house, you should just block them on all social media and cut them off entirely. It's the only way they'll get the help they need.
I was Harry's age when I read that book, and the reason I remember thinking about it was that buying wands was 'grownup stuff', like buying a car, so the concept of buying one myself didn't even cross my mind
Weasley vault in Gringotts = 1 galleon and some sickles
Fred and George life savings at age 17 = 37 Galleons, 15 Sickles, 3 Knuts
The real question is what were Fred and George doing holding out on all that money that their family desperately needed?
Not Fred and George though.
Punks were already finmogging Arthur before they could even vote and they're STILL eating his food and living in his house rent free.
What a pair of israelites.
The real reason is: their parents would demand where they got this money from and when they discovered the illegal activities they would make the twins discard all the money they made
I don't think the Weasley's car about the law that much.
Everyone already knew about them doing underage magic outside school, they just thought they were exploding stuff for fun and not that they were running a business. Plus Arthur already has his mega-illegal magic car.
>Everyone already knew about them doing underage magic outside school
Underage magic is banned by the ministry, not by parents. If the twins were doing magic at home they would have been caught by the ministry. >.Plus Arthur already has his mega-illegal magic car.
Which he kept a secret from his wife, because he's a henpecked homosexual. In theory Fred and George could secretly slip Arthur some money but never Molly.

But they were doing magic at home. Ginny has this revelation when they open the joke shop, all the explosions coming from their room was them inventing shit.
That's why their activities were illegal. If they did it all at Hogwarts it would have been 100% legit.

That's when they open the shop, but they had acquired the 37 galleons by the time they were 16 because they bet it all at the world cup. Goblet of Fire is also when Rowling reveals that they've been inventing merchandise. So the latest they could have possibly started is summer 1994, but Harry says 10 galleon omnioculars are equivalent to 10 years of Christmas presents. So 37 galleons is a lot, so they probably started earlier.

No wonder they're butthurt to this day.
Wouldnt that make little ronnie antisemitic for accepting the role?
He got paid for it, so it's okay.

The fricking film, m8.
Because it was filmed at a bank that literally has that shit. israelite bankers isnt a racist meme it is reality.
Ron was too proud to accept handouts. You see him multiple times resenting harry for his wealth, he would never accept his gold.

you don't need to swallow your pride to accept second-hand clothes and books from older siblings, you moron. they're family.
Handmedowns are not the same as handouts. You have to read past the first four letters.
>dictates that money=respect

The commie's favourite word to throw around besides "capitalism"
Rob was punk.
You should never act as the wallet for your friends, even if you can it will either result in them taking advantage of you; or throws off the power balance and makes them feel indebted toward you.
You should only give charity toward them if you ask them out to do something they can’t afford, or if it’s an extreme emergency for them and they have no other options.
Seeing as Ron nearly killed himself and others several times with his broken, taped-together wand, I'd say it's an emergency.
It saved the day
Bravo Rowling

O RLY?
ron was a b***h and deserved nothing
harry and malfoy should've teamed up tbh
Read a different book / Watch a different movie / etc

How many were hand outs and how many were inheritance or birthday or chistmas gifts? Are you able to tell the difference?
>Rons sister
That was more of a curse
The Wallocrux
For the record, this was just a bad angle + awkward lighting. She actually looks hotter than this IRL.
post proof
There's a nude photo of her floating around on the interwebs. Treat yourself.
Hes a rich famous orphan. Ron has a family. Case closed homosexual.

pottergays are worth more than poorgays seething about not getting enough gibmedats. Cope in the poorhouse.
Actually pottergays are based again since all the lefties purged themselves from HP after disavowing Rowling
>hurr durr he had a rich family that means he should throw money to poorgays
Technically the Weaseleys should be paying Harry to take Ginny
>Sirius' family house
Sirius' family is basically extinct. The last surviving members besides Sirius are Bellatrix Lestrange and Narcissa Malfoy. Obviously he gives everything to Harry and not to the Voldemort worshipping shechuds that he hates.
Some folks just get all the luck.
He's israeli.
Harry should have finmogged Arthur and become Ron's new stepdad.
He is a neo-liberal, he doesn't care about that. Also, he loves slavery.
The gold price per coin when the movie was released was $260 per coin in the real world. Harry used 6 coins to pay for the whole trolly of candy. Since the trolly certainly did not contain candy valued at $1560, the purchasing power of the coins were even lower than in the real world.

magical gold is not muggle gold you dumb frick
>$260
Where the frick are you getting this? A galleon is worth roughly 25 USD. The amount of money in his vault came out to about 1.5 million USD
How can there be any kind of exchange rate with people who can magically replicate anything they want? What could possibly dictate it?
Something about goblin magic being special just like the house elves. Gobbo made coins are different from anything human wizards can do.
Ok but dollars are literally just pieces of paper with no value whatsoever to wizards who could just conjure them from nothing if they ever for some reason needed them.
How? Was he going to just ride his broom to Ollivanders with Ron it a side car?
Remember when the Harry Potter movies had a sense of Spielberg-esque wonderment & adventure before they turned into soulless pap where wands became guns?
If harry had any pimp in him he would have been nagging hermoine constantly to lower her self esteem then one day when she was at her lowest make her an offer.
The when he completely killed her pride and ego he could have tricked her out to the whole upper echelon of slytherin.
Buy his way back into the good graces of voldemort
I like how they never acknowledge Harry’s wealth ever again in the movies
I hate Ron the Weasel. Fricking redhead homosexual always b***hing. Harry should have befriended Neville.
>Potty and the Weasel!

Why not frick them in the ass to assert dominance?
>homosexual can't even imagine a nonhomosexual response to a hypothetical scenario
Apologies if my joke triggered you by accident, I thought I was on a website that routinely posts gore and CP.
homosexualry is more abhorrent than either.
Which is why I apologised for triggering you.
We LICHERALLY had this thread yesterday.
OP is a dumb homosexual who wants people to agree with his moronic idea
I was Harry's age when I read that book, and the reason I remember thinking about it was that buying wands was 'grownup stuff', like buying a car, so the concept of buying one myself didn't even cross my mind

The real question is what were Fred and George doing holding out on all that money that their family desperately needed?
It was their money, they earned it.
Saving up for their store, also reinvesting in new pranks to sell.
>desperately needed?
huge stretch, majority of their kids were out of the house earning their own living
Not Fred and George though.
Punks were already finmogging Arthur before they could even vote and they're STILL eating his food and living in his house rent free.
What a pair of israelites.
Don't you have parents anon? I can't imagine my parents accepting money for me staying at their home, however old I'd be.
>living in his house rent free.
they were living above the shop when they started it iirc
The real reason is: their parents would demand where they got this money from and when they discovered the illegal activities they would make the twins discard all the money they made
I don't think the Weasley's car about the law that much.
