when you're wealthy, the needs of others are irrelevant
>when you're wealthy
The Malfoys are just as rich, but they don't use their money for dick moves like this. On the one occasion they do splash out they buy brooms for all of House Slytherin, not just for Draco.
They're also happy to take orders from Voldemort, who started as a poor boy in an orphanage and got where he is purely by merit. I'm starting to reconsider who the good guys were in this story.
For a story set in the 90s that's not unrealistic. We used to be warned to take our rubbish home, because bins were too easy to plant bombs in. >t.bong with family from potatoland
Im still not shure why.the IRA was so autistic abaut northern ireland. You don't have any valuable natural resources, your Channel wouldn't give ireland much.
Harry was stamped down on and bullied for his whole life. Big shock he acts like a vindictive little prick when he finally has the upper hand for once, like Milhouse with Bart's soul.
How does her business work? The Hogwarts express runs 4 times a year and her clientele are exclusively children. What kind of turnover does cakes and candy pull?
Honestly this shit is more vexing to me than a man who is falsely imprisoned for 11 years deciding to break out because he saw a picture of a rat in the newspaper.
>There's a corporation? They have staff?
Yoi are thinking about it too deeply.
She'd be the equivalent of the cafeteria lady. She's employed by the school. They own the train as well.
Well she works 4 days a year, the food at the school is cooked by elves and appears on the tables by magic. By your logic the the train driver, engineer(?), stokers(?), conductor/steward and cleaners are all also employed by the school. Work one day for the intake, twice for the Christmas holidays and then once more at years end.
I'm not thinking too deeply. Surely JRR HatesTrans gave careful consideration to the transportation economics of an entire magical society with access to at least 3 forms of teleportation when she wrote a book for children.

Yes, people csn do more than one job.
But i get your point too like if so much of the other shit is automated by magic then why have employees at all other than the teachers of course.

The question is why have the train? The first book seems like it makes sense, the train goes from London to Scotland, magical people all over get on the train and get to school,
But then you have floo powder, which is cheap teleportation between two fireplaces, and its not that hard to arrange, since they do it for a muggles house. Then there's portkeys, actual teleporters. But that wasn't enough so got apparition, which was implied to be some serious business, but then it gets taught to teenagers.
Why have teachers at all? fricking ghosts can teach classes. magical portraits could probably teach classes. you could have a pensive with all the memories of people teaching classes and use that. Imagine the savings. You could raise generations of wizards for scant dosh.

It's either book 5 or 6 Harry takes the Floo back to Hogwarts and ends up in McGonagalls office. Assuming each head of house has a fireplace, you're looking at hundreds of fireplaces being hooked up to the Floo network and kids being given specific time slots to turn up. What could possibly go wrong?
Portkeys are heavily regulated and you can't apparate in and out of hogwarts. Have you even read Hogwarts, A History?
Stick the little shits on a train so everyone knows where they are, and they don't end up splinched or stranded on a Scottish Moor

the train is a initiation ritual necessary to wed the wizarding population to the pact of secrecy
there are homeschooled wizard but they're hunted down by the ministery and indoctrinated

that Cursed Child play thing revealed she's some kind of crazy train-protecting entity and the snack racket is just a hobby
>applying any logic to the shitty harry potter universe
Literally all of it crumbles under any kind of logical scrutiny. The whole setting is just a middle class nostalgia trip for school for adults and a mirroring of what middle class kids are experiencing in their lives for children.
>why is this 11 years old orphan who never owned anything in his life and whose entire world was turned upside down a few days ago does not behave 100% morally and altruistically?
typical nepo baby.

>hey maybe muggleborns should adopt our culture instead of wizards adopting theirs
OI THAT'S ROICIST
it was just a microcosm of bong life
Why do you keep posting this commie homosexuals gay as frick pasta?
He grew up as a poor bastard. Give him so break.
he was raped his entire life
He had a cool scar
when you're wealthy, the needs of others are irrelevant
He lived in a tiny room under the stairs until that point.
First time he ever got what he wanted + he bought Ron's friendship
>you will never buy access to Hermiones mudblood pussy
why live
Do you think there ever were wizard hooligans?
Like say there's a scuffle and the opposing posse suddenly explodes and a huge scarf of the wizard's team lands on the ashes.
Remember when Fred and George heard explosions and immediately assumed it was the Irish.
For a story set in the 90s that's not unrealistic. We used to be warned to take our rubbish home, because bins were too easy to plant bombs in.

These guys definitely sold wizard weed and snuck in booze.
those guys definitely had the hookup for bootleg pirated wizard porn scrolls
And illegal Japanese enchanted ona holes.
Go back.
>he doesn't know about the love potions and X ray glasses.
he is finally away from his sexually abusive aunt and wanted to impress ron.
I watched this recently. The acting/directing is fricking awful.
He just gets one of each of the fricking lot
Excuse me, mate. Were you there? No? Then shut the frick up then
Harry was stamped down on and bullied for his whole life. Big shock he acts like a vindictive little prick when he finally has the upper hand for once, like Milhouse with Bart's soul.
He was a poorgay during his formative years, there is no fixing that.
Socioeconomics.
>be a powerful witch
>able to break the laws of physics and play God
>spend your life as a wagie selling candy to spoiled children
They are laced with drugs, not all kids make it to Hogwarts.

It's a seasonal gig, the downtime is priced in.
It isn't her business. She's just a fricking employee
There's a corporation? They have staff?

We all collectively agreed that "*** ****** *****" doesn't exist.
my bad, mang
won't happen again
Also she was black the whole time.
bravo rowling

it took 5 or 6 books to reveal nonverbal magic and then everyone was doing it in the last book
Having extra cash and treating your poor friend to a good time is one of the best feelings.
He saw Ron was sad that he only had his nasty looking sandwich and was trying to impress a possible new friend.
The candy she was pushing around wasn't all there was in the train. All she'd need to do is go restock the cart.
Source?
How they do things in real life. There's an area filled with stuff and the carts get restocked as needed.
He wanted a friend, so he bought a lot of candy for him. It's not that hard to understand, anon
How do you interpret this like he is being mean?
Ron got a packed sandwich from his mom and harry gets ron snacks too
>if we take the lot will you dine?
>why is this 11 years old orphan who never owned anything in his life and whose entire world was turned upside down a few days ago does not behave 100% morally and altruistically?
what a legend
