>People who grow up wealthy know its worth and tend not to spend their money like morons like newly rich people do
Laughingly untrue. Most of the heirs squander the fortunes - see the Kennedy's, the Gettys, etc.

Lolno, money is as constant as oxygen to them. They know its uses but not its value.

Why didn't Harry ever share his immense wealth with the Weasly's?
why didnt he buy ron a new wand in the second book then
Read the damn book, first moment he can he offered to share it with them. Molly in particular firmly declined.
Even the twins had to be forced to take his Triwizard prize, which isn't part of the trust fund.
Poorgays have pride, and if not then they at least worry the public will see them as leeches.
Pretty much every old wizarding family is wealthy except for the Weasleys and possibly the Longbottoms, although it's never really confirmed he's poor.
Probably part of the reason families like Malfoy's look down on Weasleys is you have to be pretty moronic to be magical for multiple generations and not have accumulated a good amount of wizard wealth.
I think this is pretty much correct. Perhaps there is a way for wizarding families to become rich very easily but Ron's dad seemed like the type to not want to bend the rules
In the books it says they can't create matter. It's why hogwarts keeps hundreds of elves as slaves to prepare their meals, then dumbledore just waves his hands and its all teleported to the dining tables.
It's just a pile of coins. You have no idea how much that can buy in the wizard world. That could probably be savings + harry's college fund of a middle class family and that would still be so much money for a kid to live off of for a while.
It worked well to build the sense of wonder in the intro, but moving forward it didn’t fit the character. You can squeeze more out of the surprise broom in the mail, Ron with the broken wand, Harry vs the rich slytherin kids. She was figuring it out as she went
Apparently one of his ancestors was a successful businessman who created a hair regrowth potion
People who grow up wealthy know its worth and tend not to spend their money like morons like newly rich people do
>People who grow up wealthy know its worth and tend not to spend their money like morons like newly rich people do
It'a exactly the opposite you fricking moron
Harry Potter is get but he did share his wealth. First thing he did with Ron was BOUGHT THE LOT and he staked Ron's brothers in a business venture. I'm sure there's some more shit from the books I don't remember
My best bro tried to do this to me right after we graduated high school. His dad and his pals donated shit to a family every Christmas. I didn't really feel offended but I said no thanks there are more deserving people like actual children. Not like we were struggling with food or anything.
Good point. Some family friends are multi millionaires, and the topic of money just never comes up, and if it did, we'd refuse. Humans are funny like that.
you can tell a shitlib women wrote this in the fricking 1990s. "lets make the protagonist a wealthy, rich, good looking, world famous, best at sports character while pretending he's the underdog"
idk it’s kind of balanced out. He’s famous, good at sports and comes from a wealthy background but he’s unpopular at school, is an unkempt lanklet, and isn’t that bright.
Harry is never described as good looking though. He's also a lanklet. The irony of Harry and Neville is also funny because Neville is supposed to be a dorky manlet whose actor became a chad and Harry is supposed to be a plain looking lanket and his actor wound up a dorky manlet.
he's young and makes the right choice to not give money to people he doesn't know
the Weasly's could be heroin addicts for all he knows (for all WE know)
>W-why if it isn't Harry Potter. Odd running into you here >Hello again, Mr. Weasley... I live here. >Yes fascinating, fascinating. Harry I know I said last time was it
but I really need to study those "rocks" the muggle smoke again >The ministry finds this subject most in dire need of study, c'mon, Harry >Mr. Weasley I promised your family never again >C'MON HARRY. DO I HAVE TO BEG? I'LL POLISH YOUR WAND!
Because initially, he was 12 and growns aren't going to take money from a kid. Later on, he gets to know them and knows they wouldn't take it, if he offered. It's literally his inner monologue, he knows they won't.
Plus, it's his only real connection to his parents. Nothing survived from teh house, no keepsakes, even pictures. It would make Harry a shit son to start throwing handfuls of gold around.
And he never brought his wealth up. That's part of his character. It makes sense, especially with the Durselys, because they'd start charging him room and board.
It isn't immense. It's only enough to get him through school years, and then for a decade or so afterwards if he isn't a moron about it. Third book says buying a single Firebolt (so a million or two million dollar car) would almost bankrupt him.
When he gets the Black family fortune, that's when he becomes actually rich, because he owns their house, all their money (Sirius pays for his Firebolt and it doesn't seem to have made much of a dent), all their estates and land, and whatever else. Then he's frickoff rich, and probably of an equivalent standing too the Malfoys.
poor people are too stupid and oppressed to know what's good for them. harry should have explained that he had no right to 'his' money because it perpetuated the criminal enterprise known as capitalism. harry shows the reader that he's just a little bourgeoisie, princling homosexual who will be going straight to the fricking gulag
I'm guessing while that is a good amount of money, it's only really a lot for a single person. $100,000 is a lot of money, but it won't last you your entire life.
It pisses me off that the Goblet of Fire movie cut out Harry promising to give his winnings to George and Fred so them opening a joke store in HBP was confusing and made no sense.
That seems like kind of a minor cut all things considered. The most egregious to me was them cutting Snape's trial in the first movie, but still having Dumbledore say that he had helped protect the stone
That was the book where everyone thought he was an attention prostitute who'd cheated his way into the competition. The Cedric stans in particular were working overtime to get him socially ostracized. Plus, Harry sort of generally had a volatile reputation. He kept getting involved in weird, secretive situations where people often died, and had no skill for PR
This, it wasn't until book 6 that he got publicly vindicated. Then there were literal packs of girls creaming their robes when he walked by and trying desperately to get his attention/smuggle him love potions. A gaggle of them went to his quidditch tryouts just to be within earshot of him, came undone at the knees when he told them to do a circuit around the pitch, then went up to the stands to marinate the bleachers in their mess.
Its probably the most unrealistic thing about these books that there weren't full chapters of these horny teens rutting like dogs in heat, or Rowling just didn't write about it. Realistically every girl at hogwarts should be learning scourgify spell by year 3 or else leave trails of cum everywhere they go because they can't be bothered emptying out their spunktraps.
It should be canon that the reason the Weasleys have so many children is because Arthur got on the way of an odd jinx when he was young and has to fill mommy Molly with a gallon of cum every night because there's no other way
Wouldn't that be gross haha
>stops Voldemort at 13 >stops hogwarts from being closed at 14 with the giant snake shit >uhhh harry the daily mail says actually you are a bad guy cause my mum said so
this is actually accurate because english people are this moronic
>school shooter about to enter campus >kid manages to disable him >no one saw what happened
Justified fear, either they are secretly allies or the kid's packing het as well.
By all rights Harry Potter should have been a Chad. He is rich, he is a successful Athlete, he is famous and he is an expert duelist. This really goes to show you the toxic influence of single mothers, because JK Rowling in her role as this character‘s author, an omnipotent mother figure, has him be a total loser. Girls should have lined up to date him, instead he was humiliated by having to go with the pajeet twins and even had to share one with Ron.
Because Rowling is a Blairite Neoliberal. She believes problems with society and culture are the result of individuals, not systems. The system should not, must not change. Harry Potter does not use his personal wealth, power or influence to shape, change or direct his society, despite the actual noted problems he sees.
Harry spends his entire pre-adult life being mistreated and abused by his government and systemic injustices. Harry sees entire magical races either enslaved or contained to reservations. Harry sees racist and fascist views underlining his society, never being shouted down. Harry sees his society whip-lash turn into a racist, fascist dictatorship within about a few hours. Harry sees and knows that his world is flawed.
And then Harry grows up to be a cop and become part of the system. Nothing really changes.
How did he become rich again
His parents were middle class
His mum was middle class. Potters' were rich as shit.
Apparently one of his ancestors was a successful businessman who created a hair regrowth potion

his dad is from an ancient wizard family one of the deathly hallows boys
The goblins gave him a special interest rate because he was being groomed to fight wizard world white nationalism
jesus fricking christ do you polbrains ever make any funny jokes?

all the wizards donated to potter's gofundme after his parents died :')
how are any wizards poor? homie just abracadabra some money
They basically have replicators, but like the ~~*Ferengi*~~, the ~~*goblins*~~ like gold pressed latinum
They must track actual currency with coins that are marked and probably run spells and magic tests on each coin to insure it hasn't been duplicated
>They must track actual currency
wizard blockchain
They definitely keep track. How this got approved is beyond me
It was a different time.
because ~~*goblins*~~ control their economy
There’s a bank run by big-nosed people, why do you think
Even Weasleys aren't that poor. They have their own lot and multi storey house, even a car.
Really poor one would be Remus.
In the books it says they can't create matter. It's why hogwarts keeps hundreds of elves as slaves to prepare their meals, then dumbledore just waves his hands and its all teleported to the dining tables.
i'm pretty sure it was only immense wealth by kid standards. maybe the equivalent of 150k british pounds
Why was this never brought up again? Harry just goes back with the Dursleys and never mentions his mass fortune ever again.
IIRC Harry continuing to live with the Dursleys was explained as his aunt being some kind of anti-Voldemort repellent.
Yeah he was going to be safe in his childhood home until he turned 18 but then he left or some shit I don’t remember.
It's just a pile of coins. You have no idea how much that can buy in the wizard world. That could probably be savings + harry's college fund of a middle class family and that would still be so much money for a kid to live off of for a while.
rowling is a hack
are you guys just pretending to be dumb?
they CLEARLY show him spending all his wealth candy on the train to hogwarts in the first movie
why didnt he buy ron a new wand in the second book then
i just told you, because he spent all his wealth on the train in the first movie
Because it's not his job to do that. And, Rowlings leaned on that plot point hard for the comedic effect.
It worked well to build the sense of wonder in the intro, but moving forward it didn’t fit the character. You can squeeze more out of the surprise broom in the mail, Ron with the broken wand, Harry vs the rich slytherin kids. She was figuring it out as she went
They do. It is constantly brought up in contrast to the weasley's poverty. Ron has his most pathetic spat in book four about it
he's right. wealth management is important to learn. it's easy to blow a fortune.
most families blow their fortunes within 3 generations
i know
bot tier post
>People who grow up wealthy know its worth and tend not to spend their money like morons like newly rich people do
It'a exactly the opposite you fricking moron
philosophers stone devalued most of that
Harry Potter is get but he did share his wealth. First thing he did with Ron was BOUGHT THE LOT and he staked Ron's brothers in a business venture. I'm sure there's some more shit from the books I don't remember
He gave his winnngs from the Tri Wizard Tournament to the twins.
How would you even go about that?
>Hey, family I'm friends with. I've noticed you're quite low class, want me to give you some money?
you have to do it in a way that doesn't hurt their pride, like donating it all anonymously via a superchat to their daughters onlyfans
Made me chuckle tbh
have a nice day
My best bro tried to do this to me right after we graduated high school. His dad and his pals donated shit to a family every Christmas. I didn't really feel offended but I said no thanks there are more deserving people like actual children. Not like we were struggling with food or anything.
Good point. Some family friends are multi millionaires, and the topic of money just never comes up, and if it did, we'd refuse. Humans are funny like that.
He did that exact thing with Fred and George. He gave them the money to open their shop.
you can tell a shitlib women wrote this in the fricking 1990s. "lets make the protagonist a wealthy, rich, good looking, world famous, best at sports character while pretending he's the underdog"
but he started out as a neglected dork then he lived the fantasy of being the golden child
he's not good looking though
idk it’s kind of balanced out. He’s famous, good at sports and comes from a wealthy background but he’s unpopular at school, is an unkempt lanklet, and isn’t that bright.
Harry is never described as good looking though. He's also a lanklet. The irony of Harry and Neville is also funny because Neville is supposed to be a dorky manlet whose actor became a chad and Harry is supposed to be a plain looking lanket and his actor wound up a dorky manlet.
The real question is how Hermione got money? I know that her parents are dentist but wizard world use different currency, right?
Gringotts exchanges muggle currency. When the Weasley's meet her parents in Diagon Alley in Chamber of Secrets, they're on their way to convert some.
Makes no fricking sense. What's a goblin need muggle money for? Cheeseburgers?
They play the exchange market. They'll crash entire economies if it means they can make a single gold coin in currency exchange.
>Calls me a moron
moron, they exchange it for gold bullion from the muggles. Jesus frick, the stupidity on this god forsaken site today.
Notemo my problemio!
he's young and makes the right choice to not give money to people he doesn't know
the Weasly's could be heroin addicts for all he knows (for all WE know)
>W-why if it isn't Harry Potter. Odd running into you here
>Hello again, Mr. Weasley... I live here.
>Yes fascinating, fascinating. Harry I know I said last time was it
but I really need to study those "rocks" the muggle smoke again
>The ministry finds this subject most in dire need of study, c'mon, Harry
>Mr. Weasley I promised your family never again
>C'MON HARRY. DO I HAVE TO BEG? I'LL POLISH YOUR WAND!

>Third book says buying a single Firebolt (so a million or two million dollar car) would almost bankrupt him.
I'm pretty sure that was hyperbole
No it was definitely a firebolt
>tfw i can afford a Hyperbole 3000
How come we never saw any pimped up broomsticks? You'd think the world cup is a huge chance for a wizarding car show.
Naww he takin money from a black family???
I mean, he married into the family, what more do you want? I guess he could have paid a bride price for her like in China
Did you even read the books. Harry offered to share, but the Weasly parents refused because it's his money not theirs.
poor people are too stupid and oppressed to know what's good for them. harry should have explained that he had no right to 'his' money because it perpetuated the criminal enterprise known as capitalism. harry shows the reader that he's just a little bourgeoisie, princling homosexual who will be going straight to the fricking gulag
hope this is bait, otherwise, it is going to be hilarious when a bunch of hillbillies on old f150s slaughter your entire revolution kek
I'm guessing while that is a good amount of money, it's only really a lot for a single person. $100,000 is a lot of money, but it won't last you your entire life.
>$100,000 is a lot of money, but it won't last you your entire life.
Lol, harry should move to thailand or the phillippines in that case.
he did, he married Ginny and had kids, now she gets that sweet Potter money for life
>hints of their daughter and Malfoy's son hitting it off
Molly was playing rhe long game.
>Ginny, Harry's coming to the Burrow later, why don't you try out that new bikini?
It pisses me off that the Goblet of Fire movie cut out Harry promising to give his winnings to George and Fred so them opening a joke store in HBP was confusing and made no sense.
That seems like kind of a minor cut all things considered. The most egregious to me was them cutting Snape's trial in the first movie, but still having Dumbledore say that he had helped protect the stone
The first two movies are very lighthearted but all of them handwave away most of the bad things Snape did.
so, he is rich and ends up working in a dead end job for the government? Brits suffer too much
Labour got all his money in taxes
>beloved sports star
>still can't get a date
>has to take a random Hindoo that he doesn't even remember the name of
That really pissed me off reading that.
didn't one of those actresses get honor killed by her parents?
holy shit
just a little spanking
That honestly sounds like something that should stay in the family assuming it wasn’t too severe. Purely cultural/religious
the coming Hindu-Muslim war in the UK is going to be kino
>Manchester
Every fricking time.
Gee I wonder why somebody who was threatened multiple times wouldn't show up in court against her family. Fricking mudslimes.

Anyone know where I can read good fan fiction about this? Asking for a friend
It should be canon that the reason the Weasleys have so many children is because Arthur got on the way of an odd jinx when he was young and has to fill mommy Molly with a gallon of cum every night because there's no other way
Wouldn't that be gross haha
>this fricking thread made me want to re-read the books
frick
I don't think I've read them all since Deathly Hallows came out, I bet they'd feel pretty fresh at this point
the same with me
maybe I'll download the audiobooks to listen to when I'm jogging
I got a copy of goblet of fire as soon as it dropped, never finished it. I don’t remember anything about the books
>stops Voldemort at 13
>stops hogwarts from being closed at 14 with the giant snake shit

this is actually accurate because english people are this moronic
OH MY GOD THE DAILY MAIL!

Justified fear, either they are secretly allies or the kid's packing het as well.
>the only witness to the event not part of the trio, had his memory erased by said kids
you aren't wrong anon
They'd be like those lottery winners that go broke again after a few years.
Weasleys DID win a lottery.
Guess what they spentit on.
You get a Myrtle bathtub scene and you WILL be happy.
>no pool scene with Hermoine, Ginny, Luna, and Cho in skimpy bathing suits
We were robbed.
Just wait for the japanese remake thats definitely coming one day
the books and movies are all from Harry's POV so maybe the HBO show can include this

Truly the dullest franchise.
Girls were literally squirting and drooling at the mere thought of him looking at them in book 6 you dishonest pearl clutching frickwit
read the thread. part 4 made him look attention starved, even if someone likes him he and ron took too long to actually ask anyone
Because Rowling is a Blairite Neoliberal. She believes problems with society and culture are the result of individuals, not systems. The system should not, must not change.

Because Harry was secretly laughing at Ron and his family struggling, seeing how poor people live. They were entertainment for him and his rich ass.
