The Weasleys are too proud to take charity.
The fricking chinese character is unironically named Ping Pong and the goblin bankers are straight out of a nazi propaganda flyer, what the FRICK is up with that??

Uhm ... it's kino?

I'm tired of people pretending Chang isn't literally a chinese name
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang_(surname)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cho
real names, both of them. deal with it. you the same homosexual who keeps making the
>asian people cant have blue eyes
threads?
I knew an asian that was literally named Jacky P. Wang.
Not even kidding. He was a lawyer too.
People weren't hypersensitive back then so it was acceptable to put to print what literally everyone (intelligent) thinks.
Funny thing is they shot Gringott scenes in an actual bank so there's literal star of David on the floor
The Nazis liked the Chinese tho? Read up on the Sino Germanic alliance. The KMT was national socialist in all but name. They just pulled an Italy when China was losing to Japan and switched sides.
>I'm proud to have 7 kids living in poverty
At some point, taking the charity is the right thing to do
They'd just waste it immediately.
They won the wizard lottery in book 3, by book 4 Ron was wearing centuries old dress robes from a thrift store.
couldnt they just use magic to generate infinite gold
Spells like that are illegal. I'm sure they also have a good magical way to prevent counterfeits.
>conjure up goods and services
>sell them to muggles for GBP
>buy gold
wow
>Ministry of Magic: Exists.
OH NO NO NO NO COUNTERFEIT CHADS!!!
It is illegal to do magic for muggles.
sure but it's illegal. harry potter might have a "magical" setting but it's still grounded within a neoliberal capitalist hellscape
>neoliberal capitalist hellscape
?
what don't you understand
>generate infinite gold
>gold is now worth less than an argentina peso
thanks potter
Isn't there a fanfic where Harry breaks the wizard economy with an infinite money glitch because you can exchange muggle money for magic money?
>fanfic
Filtered.
I read that in Draco Malfoy voice
I did not read that in Draco Malfoy voice
You need the book1 macguffin, the philosopher's stone to make gold.
Something prevents making permanent gold with basic spells.
>muggles can make gold with nuclear fusion but wizards can't
lmao. and they call US moronic
The ministry of magic would be elbow deep in their ass if they did.
>use magic to spin a turbine
>generate infinite free energy without need for fuel
>sell electricity to muggles
>use money to buy gold
You get send to Azkaban for devaluating the currency issued by Gringotts. Which makes you think why a private bank is in charge of issuing a currency
Yeah, imagine if irl privately incorporated banks issued currency at the expense of the taxpayer who had to pay interest on their own currency lmao that would be so dumb and fishy
>Writes a magical world
>But everyone is still a slave to the central bank
Why would you even need gold? Just generate food, clothing, and shelter using magic.
You can't create food in the harry potter universe
Why not?
It's impossible
Yeah but how come?
Rowling said so. There are at least five categories of item that can't be created by magic, food is one of them.
The Harry Potter universe implicitly requires a god to work
And?
You cannot be a sincere atheist in Harry Potter, all criticisms need to take this into account. Any explicitly atheist ideology is utterly incompatible with Harry Potter.
I thought Voldemort was an allegory for atheist/communist
Voldemort could never be a sincere nihilist/atheist/materialist. He viscerally knows there's a soul and that it's connected to an objective morality. He could only be insincere, which makes him far more depraved.
Magic laws of nature or something
couldn't they just use hippogriffs to fly the horcruxes to mount Doom?
>currency and stores when you could just wish for whatever you want
how is it even possible to be poor in a magical world ?
nobody really wants for anything critical but there is a craft and service economy fueled by magically regulated currency
this is the worst part of the whole harry potter story
He did though.
Rowling sort of...forgot about the mountain of gold.
>lives in a six story house
>is "le poor"
What did billionaire JK Rowling and her wealthy liberal fans mean by this?
why didnt the house work like those tents in the fourth one where it's huge inside but small outside
Don't think about it too much
>easily clearable land
>build up instead of out
Fricking moron gingers jesus christ
HOA rules
>You will NOT build a whimsical 6 story home it's against code!
That thing is mass of building code violations. The death-eaters saved the Weasleys lives burning it.
>pile of gold in the bank under his name
>can't withdraw more than 10% because the goblins need it to fund their wars in the middle east
There you go
>Inherits debt to the Goblins.
>This makes him rich.
Weasley's are the wealthiest family because they don't owe as much to goblins
Gonna quickly do JK Rowlings job and headcanon that the Gold from Gringotts and similar Goblin banking had Goblin magic on it that wizards couldn't replicate like they couldn't replicate dwarven smithery
why didnt voldemort just buy guns and shoot harry
because check'em
Why didn't he just nuke Hogwarts?
why didn't harry just buy a gun and shoot voldemort?
he's not a villain
meta reason is that kids would replicate that irl
Wizards have all these homosexual rules. Why wouldn’t they all just leave and become kings amongst muggles?
Because setting >>>>>> internal consistency.
Wizards would have out-competed muggles thousands of years ago. There shouldn't be any muggles beyond the occasional squib anywhere in the world.
That was only a few thousand in wizard money. He spends most of it on school supplies and by buying out the candywoman on the train ride to hogwarts.
