Why did he have to go back to his horrible uncle and aunt after the school year was finished? There wasn’t a wizard protective services or a wizard foster family available?

He was a well known sexual deviant
He was magically protected at his family's home.
this is the real reason, i don't remember what but there was some magic reason for him being here
Part of his mother's sacrifice lent him protection where her blood was, Petunia being her only living relative
as long as he lived with someone related to his mother by blood (her sister) the "protection spell" that she unknowingly made stays intact, it wasn't the home that was important
I think it was important that Harry saw the house as his home, otherwise it would've lost effectivness. The moment he knew that it wasn't his home anymore since he was an adult, the house lost the protection.
but voldemort was dead at the start and they knew he was dead
Voldemort had dozens of followers still at large when he "died".
I'm pretty sure Dumbledore suspected that Voldy wasn't actually fully dead straight away.
literally just hire a muggle hit man to blow his head off lol
>literally just hire a muggle hit man to blow his head off lol
Wizards don't think like that. They're completely oblivious to how the muggle world works. Being able to solve all problems with magic has made them basically moronic by muggle standards.
But he got attacked by one of those dementors
Yes, out in the alley some ways away from the house. It's not exactly normal for Dementors to turn up in a Surrey suburb either.
So the protection was just like in a block radius? Why not just raise him in hogwarts then lol
One, Hogwarts doesn't do summer students, two Dumbledore felt he should be raised away from the Wizarding world where he would be hounded all his life, and three he asked them in the letter he left with Harry to raise him as family, which they did not, and he has words for them over that in Book 6 (where he also says Harry was at least spared the "appalling damage" they wrought on Dudley).
In any case he was safe from Voldemort's followers there, and in the years after Voldemort's first fall, they were still at large and active in numbers, it took years for the Aurors to track them all down and imprison or kill them. Some of them were cowardly turncoats but plenty of those stayed loyal to Voldemort and would have gunned for Harry.
Hagrid lived on campus and was friends with Harry's parents and with Harry.
in a one room cabin
Harry lived in a closet that was too short to stand up in.
It wasn't like that was how they were meant to raise him.
Not after his first year you gay. He got Dudley's second bedroom. After Hagrid threatened them and told them to treat him better btw
He actually got it before he went to Hogwarts in the book, Vernon moves him in there when the letters are addressed to "The Cupboard Under the Stairs" hoping to throw them off, but they just switch to "The Smallest Bedroom", and later to wherever they're staying when he drives the family off trying to lose the letter senders
well la di da thank you for that you frickin autistic harry potter boo
>Remembering things is AUTISTIC!!!!!!
Sorry you can't pay attention when reading or watching anon.
>reading or watching
in the films he doesn't get the room until Chamber and the last time I read the books was when they were released so kys autismo childrens book re-reader
Hagrid was mentally moronic and unfit to raise a child
>Dumbledore felt he should be raised away from the Wizarding world where he would be hounded all his life
what a piece of shit
It would probably be a mistake for a child's development to grow up in a magic environment from day 1.
He was being abused by the Dursleys. He lived in the crawlspace under the stairs and was small because they barely fed him...
And that sucked but that also wasn't what they were supposed to do, they were asked to raise him like family. They didn't because Vernon is an butthole and Petunia was bitter.
What I'm saying is the wizards are moronic but that's nothing new and basically acknowledged in-universe by them having an entire house of Hogwarts being clearly evil and having a prison system where they just torture the prisoners for life. Voldemort was also moronic getting beated by children like 8 times..
Like every other fricking wizard did? Fricking moron wiener sucking homosexual.
They grew up in families, dude. Not as an orphan in a school that is not a daycare center.
stfu spaz. I'm talking about the standard of wizard life and upbringing in that universe, not the exception. There's an educational program that exists for wizards, once they've developed and that makes sense. Why should a teacher change diapers and deal with toddlers when their parents can do it. Think
also it's voluntary iirc, there's no conscription
This. It's a miracle that wizards can add and multiply
Raised from a baby in Hogwarts? By who? What kind of upbringing is that?
He was with Dudley. It was the house that was protected, then?
And why didn't Dumbledore tell him, at least after his first year, when he got confirmation Voldemort was alive, to help Harry cope with his shitty situation?
>are you pulling this out of your asses or is it stated somewhere? I never knew this, kinda interesting for harry potter
Stated several times.
Not really.
All that is stated, is AFTER dumbledore found out how harry parent's died
There was 0 evidence that he MUST return to his home up untill year 3, meaning all harry's childhood was shit because huh mhm huuh because
>if you don't say everything on the first page it's not valid
What moronic logic.
Who are you quoting?
this gets explained in goblet of fire but its a retcon because rowling is a hack. as she made her universe more dark and dangerous, she had to explain why the very alive and kicking voldy and death eaters have not just avada kadavra'd the Dursleys and then harry too.
So what you're saying is that if Voldemort got close to Petunia he would spontaneously combust? Uhh.. why didn't they use this woman as a weapon?
dumbledore thought it was funny so he forbade anyone to help
Why didn't Ron's dad just take the gold coins the wizards use for currency and exchange them for basic goods? From the looks of things gold is worth a lot less to wizards, so he could buy a lot of stuff and stop living in a dilapidated shack.
He had too many kids to afford anything good
Why did he have so many kids? Do wizards not use contraception? Was it available but against his religion? Were the Weasleys Catholic?
Poorgays need to have a lot of children because most of them die of starvation.
That doesn’t seem to apply to the world of wizards. The Weasleys just liked to frick.
Though they never outright say it, Arthur and Molly stopped having kids after Ginny was born after having six boys, so it is safe to assume they wanted a daughter.
Arthur was based and knew he had a duty to at least create one more female redhead
>Were the Weasleys Catholic?
All wizards are satanists
I mean bought it at a muggle store. Just melt the coins and sell them at a pawn shop and buy a bunch of dried food at the supermarket. Then use the savings to buy other stuff.
They weren't low on food, they just struggled with expensive items like spellbooks and school stuff
They must have been buying food because mrs. Weasley has a package of bacon in the books but they're not shown to have pigs, just chickens and some vegetables. They don't have a big farm that would be self sufficient. Therefore they could save money on food and use the savings to buy books.
In the books it says that magic and "muggle-tech" don't work well together, also im pretty sure the Ministry has a "Don't manipulate the Muggle Market or we'll all get caught" department
It's mainly just electricity that doesn't go well with magic
"muggle tech" includes things like trains and plumbing after all
>dursleys know harry is a wizard
>many wizards are half-bloods
>ministry of magic is in cahoots with the fricking uk parliament
just how secret are wizards supposed to be to muggles? is it like an open secret like how israelites control the world or something similar?
Dursleys know only because Petunia's sister was a witch, and she ended up disclosing this to Vernon. They spent the rest of their lives trying to make sure no one found out they were related to "weirdos". They're not in cahoots with the parliament either, only the prime minister, and for all we know they have to submit to a memory charm when they leave office, but in any case they would come off as complete loons if they ever did try to claim there were real wizards in the country. How would he prove it? They don't leave a trace. The prime minister only meets the Minister of Magic alone and very seldom. The one in office during the books only meets Fudge like four times total over years, and Scrimgeour once.
The families of Muggleborns are trusted to keep it to themselves, and frankly they would, given the above. Who would believe you?
Hermione the smart girl didn't trust her parents to keep quiet.
SLIGHTLY taken out of context
The real answer is plot/character development, the official answer is the love protection spell. He could have just been adopted by some wizard family that could protect him easily but makes for a weaker story.
I thought that was more she didn’t want them being tortured/killed because of her. She didn’t just wipe their memories, she convinced them to pack up and move to Australia.
In the books, Hermione is constantly shown to be book-smart and logical but bad at thinking "outside the box" or "on her feet" but can also be exceptionally stupid at times of stress (such as nearly failing the obstacle course in third year Defence when her boggart is McGonnagal telling her she's failed every subject) - conversely, Harry is a mildly above-average student (mostly thanks to Hermione) but absolutely exceptional when it comes to the areas Hermione falls short in - it's why he's constantly able to escape situations that would otherwise result in his death and duel wizards with decades more experience than him
Of course, if you've only watched the movies, you'd get fricking none of this because the movies are actually about how Hermione is PERFECT with NO FLAWS and Harry and Ron are the two bumbling idiots she got stuck with
I read the first few books long ago but damn I remember what you're talking about, you're right.
Hermione is also capable of being incredibly petty in the books, and is willing to shoot herself in the foot to get juvenile revenge on people
They also take all of Ron's good qualities and give them to Hermione
And take away what remains of Ron's good qualities and simply destroy them for no reason, e.g. when Snape is telling Hermione to stop being a know-it-all, Ron in the book says "Well you asked the question, why did you ask if you didn't want someone to tell you?" whereas in the movie he basically agrees with Snape that Hermione is a b***h
the most offensive part of this was in book three where Ron with a broken leg, green in the face, stands up straight and says to Sirius Black, a man he has been raised from birth to fear almost as much as Voldemort himself, "if you want Harry you will have to get through me"
But in the movies of course its Hermione that gets that line, while Ron lies there being useless.
To mooch
Test
His house is protected from Voldemort because his mom sacrificed herself for him there. No reason he couldn't have crashed with Hagrid though during the break. I mean he stayed over Christmas break if I recall.
Dinner kind of protection through Petuinia being Harry's blood exists, but after Goblet of Fire, Voldemort could touch Harry again and this seems a bit of a plot hole why he still needs returning.
It probably just protected Voldemort from touching him, but he still wouldn't be able to kill Harry with abracadabra.
Voldemort wouldn't be crazy enough to attack him in the school with Dumbledore there, and the ministry believed his return was fake news, so he was capitalizing on that.
Once again OP is too moronic to follow along with the movie, too moronic even with the help of subtitles, so any chance of OPs ass reading anything other than the bumps on a fat Black persondick like braile before he hoovers it down his homosexual throat is very slim.
Basically OP should slash his wrists and jump in front of an 18 wheeler.
>Filthy rich
>So fricking wealthy he buys an entire candy cart without giving a shit
>he has enough money to live like a king among wizards
>somehow this is never mentioned again and he lives miserably for the rest of his life
>he has enough money to live like a king among wizards
bit of a reach, he could probably live middle-class comfortably but he has nothing on the Malfoys and other high class wizard families
>>So fricking wealthy he buys an entire candy cart without giving a shit
I mean that would have been what, $200 maybe. Not that ridiculous
A poor wizard makes no sense. They can conjure whatever they want and have tents that casually break physics. The harry potter wizards must all be gigamorons
If only, they would… follow… nethads aaa raaatn ba…lit eeeeee
A poor wizard is just lazy. The Weasleys were lazy. You can infinitely replicate food and you can fix anything in your house with an easy spell. Molly could make dishes and knitting do themselves but couldn’t wave her wand to fix that shambly frick up of a shack? Ridiculous. Also makes those super cute little “handmade” sweaters pretty lame since she just charmed some needles to do it for her.
Super wealth like the Malfoys is one thing but the only excuse for a wizard to live in poverty is extreme laziness or apathy.
Nothing indicates that the Weasleys were poor in the traditional sense, they had plenty of food, they just lacked in magical supplies you had to buy.
They didn't really lack space, but there was a limit to what magic could do. You can't just conjure up a palace out of nowhere, but you can expand your house, and you can buy some cheap tents and make them roomy enough with magic.
Really the only example I can think of that sucks is Ron's robes for the ball, surely she could have created something better instead of buying that horrid thing.
I have to ask what the frick Molly was doing at home all day while her kids were in boarding school and her husband was at work. It’s not like housekeeping would take up time. Nothing she could think of to make a few extra coins so her kids weren’t going to school in rags? I mean, in general wtf was she doing with her time?? There was no TV to eat bonbons in front of.
Transfigurations aren't permanent (and the ones that are are VERY hard to do) and being exposed to nearby magic for a long time will wear it away
Magical repairs only work really well on simple things, the more complicated the object is the harder the repair and the less strong the repair will be. Most of the wizards we see in the movies are exceptionally powerful (e.g. Dumbledore) and their feats don't translate at all to the standard wizard - non-verbal spells alone are really fricking difficult even for basic first-year spells.
Also you cannot infinitely replicate food, it's some rule or something that Hermione talks about when they're camping - e.g. if you get an apple and turn it into a really big apple, that really big apple will still only have the nutritional value of the original apple. Any conjured food will have literally zero nutritional value. That's why they still need to cook everything. (the meals in the school are cooked at the school and then teleported onto the tables)
Of course the movies don't mention any of this stuff
Sounds like magic is pretty useless and that a middle class muggle has a higher standard of living than all but the richest wizards. Hermione wasted her potential going to Hogwarts.
It's more that wizards (especially purebloods) are kind of stuck in the past and don't really understand just how quickly muggles have been developing
Sure, magic isn't great for instantly making some sort of amazing structure, but it can sure as shit make it easier - you don't need a crane to move steel beams if you have two wizards who can levitate it together (or one sufficiently powerful wizard), You don't need a blowtorch and an hour to cut it to size when you can just overpower a cutting charm. Hell, you don't even need to rent a truck to get it to the worksite - you can shrink it, lighten it, put it in your pocket and then just cancel the charms when you get there.
You don't need to wait 5 minutes for your microwave to reheat your food when you can do a quick charm.
You don't need to clean/dry your clothes for hours when you can do it with two spells.
The main thing wizards lack is creativity.
Yeah she shouldve been slaving away making spreadsheets for Mr Goblinberg at Gringotts bank, spending all of her fertile years at the desk, climbing the career ladder till shes got no eggs left and is an old owl lady. COME HERE YOU FRICKING Black person IM GONNA FRICKIBN KILL YOU
More like “stay away from all that magic bullshit”. Why the frick would she work at Gringott’s if she didn’t go to Hogwarts?
vernon dursley had a shotgun making him more effective at killing intruders than 99% of the wizarding world
posts like this are a prime example of how sheltered american kids are these days. if you apply these to your best real life analogues, all of these would have been considered normal for school children pre 1950
Gives a whole new meaning to “uphill both ways”.
>tfw no hufflepuff mommy gf
This was a children's book that the author tried to make more mature with sequels. Him living under the stairs with his awful aunt and uncle, the gold coins, the 4 houses, quidditch, almost everything doesn't make sense but is fine for a fun kids book. Him having to live with a blood relative of his mother is absurd and clearly was not the case at the start but shit like this needs explaining if you suddenly start to take the books seriously, but Rowling does a horrible job of it. This is a series for children that becomes awful after the first couple of books
The awful aunt and uncle is straight from Dahl. It’s very obvious that the series was conceived as a silly children's book, and any claim that she had it all planned out from the beginning is clearly bullshit.
