You seriously want me to believe they couldn't just magic up some gold and not be poor?

Goblin israelites can identify if gold wasn't minted by them. You ginger Black folk really think you're smarter than everyone?
Couldn't they magic up something else and sell it to muggles, or trade it for real gold and then deposit that in gringotts?
Or you know, they could just buy most of their stuff in the muggle world, or straight up conjure them up. What wizard world items do you really need?
>go to muggle world and purchase handgun
>take gun to wizard world
>you are now the most powerful wizard in existence
They would just cast a spell to transform your gun into a squeak toy or something.
I think JK Rowling said something about guns working faster than wands, so no.
>EXPECTOOOOOOO, PATRONU-ACK
There’s no way guys with guns or regular military could battle with Harry Potter wizards. They’re too OP. One butthole could just teleport into the middle of an army base and AOE-blast everyone into forgetting who they are, or even implant memories into them like they’re suicidal and want to kill themsleves, or just control their brains and make them do whatever they want, or make them experience intense pain.
The only logical HP sequel would be the wizarding world is found out on such a scale that it can’t be memory wiped and there’s a war with humans and wizards but there would have to be evil wizards on the human’s team or else it could work. They could just turn every nuke on Earth into a kitten, there’s nothing humanity could do.
>Stupe- BLAM
Yeah, good luck with that. Keep in mind a muggle doesn't need to up close to you to shoot you.
>*apparates behind you*
>bullet proofius
What's your next move, muggle?
Enchant the bullets
at that point, you are just using a wand with extra steps, homosexual.
Spells aren't hypersonic
Reminder: Rowling herself said a muggle and wizard war would be an absolute curb stomping of wizards
>listening to TERFs
She created the universe, her word is law. Not to mention it makes sense since muggles heavily out number wizards. The wizarding population in the entire UK is less than 100k alone. One of Voldemort's points was that the muggles could turn on wizard kind at any moment and kill them all with numbers alone. Nevermind the technology they can bring to bear
Wizards can literally instantly teleport anywhere (muggles can't make anti apparition charms) non stop, all day, every day.
They'd only lose if they were dumb.
Not every wizard can apparate moron, not even Harry could do it by the end of the books and needed Hermione's help to do so
Shut the frick up, moron. The wizards that matter can and they can take others with them.
Apparition doesn't work the way you think it does. The wizard needs to have visited the location before to have a good idea of where they're going or they'll kill themselves with splinching. A wizard isn't going to be able to apparate into a base if they don't know where it is
Hermione and Harry were able to Apparate to Godric's Hollow without having been there before.
They also got directions before doing so.
So?
>The wizard needs to have visited the location before
Is false.
>*apparates behind every military commander and avada kedavra them*
>gets shot 8 times before he says his homosexual spell
>Imperio world leaders
>launch nukes at each other
stay mad muggles
Bullets are faster than words.
You gonna be able to say that quick enough while waving your limp wristed little stick around before you get pumped full of lead?
Ok, this has been driving me crazy for seven movies now, and I know you’re going to roll your eyes, but hear me out: Harry Potter should have carried a 1911.
Here’s why:
Think about how quickly the entire WWWIII (Wizarding-World War III) would have ended if all of the good guys had simply armed up with good ol’ American hot lead.
Basilisk? Let’s see how tough it is when you shoot it with a .470 Nitro Express. Worried about its Medusa-gaze? Wear night vision goggles. The image is light-amplified and re-transmitted to your eyes. You aren’t looking at it–you’re looking at a picture of it.
Imagine how epic the first movie would be if Harry had put a breeching charge on the bathroom wall, flash-banged the hole, and then went in wearing NVGs and a Kevlar-weave stab-vest, carrying a SPAS-12.
And have you noticed that only Europe seems to a problem with Deatheaters? Maybe it’s because Americans have spent the last 200 years shooting deer, playing GTA: Vice City, and keeping an eye out for black helicopters over their compounds. Meanwhile, Brits have been cutting their steaks with spoons. Remember: gun-control means that Voldemort wins. God made wizards and God made muggles, but Samuel Colt made them equal.
Now I know what you’re going to say: “But a wizard could just disarm someone with a gun!” Yeah, well they can also disarm someone with a wand (as they do many times throughout the books/movies). But which is faster: saying a spell or pulling a trigger?
Avada Kedavra, meet Avtomat Kalashnikova.
>bullets
>cast Protecto
Stupid muggles.
Can spells even protect against non-magical threats? Nobody ever uses spells to defend from punches or other kinds of non-magical danger.
They've been used to protect against stuff like rocks or beast attacks so they do work against non magic physical stuff.
Yes, seems to be particularly easy actually. Protecting against spells, especially unknown ones is hard.
Then Harry is a fricking moron, why won't he ever cast protego when Malfoy and his cronies beat the shit out of him?
yeah bro just cast protecto 600 times per minute to match the AKs cycling rate lol
If you have any guns pointed at you, you're doing it wrong.
Apparate in their bedrooms while they sleep, then kill them.
After killing a powerful target use polyjuice to order attacks against other muggles.
Wear an invisibility cloak and imperius a guard forcing him to kill your target.
Transfigure a grenade to look like something they would pick up, disenchant it after they take it to base and watch it go off.
>muggles when they realize it doesn't need to be recast after each impact
oh so you can just cast it once and...??? what if it expires for a millisecond and you didn't recast?
(tbh I'm just posting to get further in the it's never been this over meme loop)
I only kept posting because I wanted to post them. Unfortunately I don't have any more
The battle would literally amount to
>*teleports behind you*
>nothin personelle
what if I'm shooting you from 500m away?
>walks
>sees a faint reflection from half a km away
>A-ABRACA-AAAACKKKK
>what if I'm shooting you from 500m away?
If your even able to figure out a general location of where they are then someone already majorly fricked up.
https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Muggle-Repelling_Charm
Is there a version of this I can cast that would only repel a certain type of muggle?
>we have intel some wizards are in London
>oh shit they teleported to Tokyo (but we could never know)
How many child shields do I have from the Imperius Curse?
not nearly as many rounds as ive got
That would violate secrecy statutes. Plus it would piss off the Prime Minister who does know the magical world exists.
Yeah, but muggle parents change muggle money at Gringotts to get wizard money to buy magic supplies, and there’s no special enchantments on that, why couldn’t they just magically print/replicate muggle currency and exchange it?
The same reason they can't just magic gold moron, inflation.
>guys wait, we can't steal this money printer and make ourselves millionaires, if lots of other people did that there would be massive inflation!
>you're right man, it's downright unethical, let's put it back
You're a fricking idiot.
moron inflation has nothing to do with ethics. It's value, the more of something that exists, the less value it has. People would refuse to accept what inflated currency is out there and demand a currency that has more value.
https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/how-much-gold-has-been-found-world#:~:text=About%20244%2C000%20metric%20tons%20of,reserves%20of%2057%2C000%20metric%20tons).
there are fricking 244,000 metric tons of gold around, you think some fricking kilograms will make a difference???
>the frickers can conjure food
>that means that food dont have value
also, is not like the dollar cannot be printed whenever they want.
they can't conjure food though
How come Joe Biden can do it then? Is he a dark wizard?
They're not creating more gold, they're creating Federal Reserve Notes that are just like gold except it takes no effort to create and they have no intrinsic value because no significant amount of labor or resources was expended to create them.
Joe Biden doesn't print more money moron, that's Congress. The president merely makes a budget
Did he make a budget that works without printing more money?
Of course not. Those Dem pet projects all cost billions before reality hits and reveals them as failures. See: the entire state of Commiefailia.
>he doesn't create money
>he just tells his lackeys to create more money
Just magic Rhodium into a couple of bars, go trade it on the London exchange for some gold, and then bring that over to Gringotts to have converted to gallions ! It's fricking simple
Implying israelite goblins dont control the muggle money supply either
But people don't just trade via goblin israelites. You're telling me every time there's a monetary transaction in the wizardry world there is a goblin checking if the coins are legitimate?
Yes, it's like cryptocurrencies but with magic. A merchant can easily tell if the money is legit but making new money takes heavy goblin magic.
At least that's what Rowling would say if she was smart like me.
>don't just trade via goblin israelites
And people in counterfeiting do not directly bring it to the bank either but at some point your fake gold will pass through goblin israelites and the nose will know.
I'm not saying there's a global goblin conspiracy, I'm just saying bad things happen to wizards that don't transact through goblin banks
why do they put those funny little ridges around the edge
They're not ridges, they're numbers denoting the serial number of the goblin who minted the coin because under their laws the coin belongs to the goblin who made it just like all other pieces of currency are owned by goblins and they are being loaned to wizards to use as their only medium of trade.
Yes
it's a series for esl pakis that invaded england not fatherless adultchildren
Most wizards don't live in poverty. The Weasleys are just moronic.
>take on construction job
>use magic to automate all the construction
>receive muggle money
>exchange muggle money for wizard money
>be richer than the malfoys in a year
Not to mention you could just jinx muggles and take their stuff without anyone knowing. Not even them since it's perfectly legal to alter their memories.
The weasleys don't live in poverty, they aren't starving and they own their own home. Thing is Arthur and Molly fricked like rabbits and had 7 kids which strains finances and even then the worst they had to deal with were hand me downs
you tryna tell us wizards havent figured out a spell that lets him shoot blanks for a few hours so shit like this doesnt happen?
Hey moron, maybe they wanted a large family?
they're not into racial suicide, unlike the modern whites
Ouch, that one hits hard.
>whimsical triple-decker mansion with acres of land
>poor
Something like this in modern America would be like 50 million dollars.
You can buy acres of land in the middle of nowhere pretty cheaply in America or Canada. You will just be far away from civilization.
You can also build giant violations of safety codes like that one as long as you don't let yourself get caught. Rednecks do it all the time.
Oh yeah? Post a listing of this “American land” you can buy acres and acres of or a house for cheap.
>muh safety code
If a moron in the middle of nowhere wants to have his house fall apart then that's his business isn't it?
Looks like an average Kentuckian house to me.
they aren't really poor, Harry never went hungry when he's there
they're really only struggling in gold but they have a big house and vast farmland
If you have god-like powers and you have to live in a rotting farm house in the middle of nowhere and give your children hand-me-downs, then you might as well avada kedavra yourself.
Just like in the real world, being poor in the Wizarding World is a choice.
moron, there are spells to enlarge a space inside a residence. The burrow on the inside was nothing like what it looked like on the outside.
Time Lord technology is NOT magic!
Even if its bigger on the inside, it's still filled with junk
making your own gold would be highly goblinphobic and a threat to the rules based wizard democracy
Can you imagine if we had an institution run by goblins who could just make more money whenever they feel like it?
>Ron's brothers never once checked on their brother using the Maurauder's Map and queried why he was sleeping with Peter Pettigrew
Probably because they were more afraid he'd be shown sleeping with Harry.
They knew ron was a gay and didnt question it
Do morons who make these threads not understand how I flatiron works?
If every moron could just conjure gold then gold would become worthless as a currency
they're brown/low income
>accio Jerome Powells head
Globe solved
Why did he even bother with doing any other spell than avada kedavra?
He didn't really. He was spamming that shit all over the place.
Kind of making a mockery of people like Dumbledore who bend reality to their will with their complicated spells. And then some snake dude shows up and conquers Britain by spamming like three spells non-stop. It's the villain version of Harry.
That's... a really great condensation of Harry Potter. Please keep going.
one trick pony
Abrakadabra just kills, what if he want to set an entire area on fire? Or blast through a wall? etc.
>Cast one spell his entire life
>Most powerful wizzard
>Harry's mother put an anti abrakadabra in her son
>Tried to abrakadabra a fricking baby
Everything could have been different if he had just punched the baby or whatever it was a baby kek
IIRC the gold coins in HP are solid gold and weigh 2oz each, but Rowling says the exchange rate is one coin for something like $7.
2oz of gold is valued at about $4,000 currently.
>"We got him Harry, should we use our magic to you know incapacitate him just in case he tries to transform into a rat and run away? We are the experienced adults here but it's your call"
>"Nah lets just walk, I'm sure for someone who's been a werewolf for 20 years you would keep track and known if it's a full moon night right Lupin"
This and the battle in the ministry of magic are easily the worst chapters in any of the books.
>hears explosions
>"Sounds like the Irish!"
what did Rowling mean by this?
underrated.
you should try reddit.com they have a voting system over there
Why did everybody have long hair in GoF
It's that age when you're independent enough to not have your parents take you to a barber so most guys just let it grow. At age 14-15 half the guys in my year had long hair.
>only Irish character constantly causes explosions
>Asian girl is named Ching Chong
Based?
There's also Su Li and technically Padma and Parvati are Asian as well
>Poopoo and peepee patel
A lot of people self insert as Ron because he’s a loser with no real effect on the story
How did Lugo Bagman trick the goblins if they should no the difference between real and fake gold?
so do they have mana or are they operating on Superman flight rules where they just "think" and do magic?
i thought they had to do specific wand movements and had to say the magic words
no there are many wizards who do wandless, wordless magic in canon
Wands are just a focus and only a thing with European and American wizards. Native Americans used staffs and Africans don't use anything
shitty hollywood retcon
That's straight from Rowling moron. From her interviews for the Harry Potter fansite
I guess you also think Dumbledore is gay cause she said it? Artists don't own or control the art once it is released to the public.
There's no such thing as mana. Some moronic fans created the fan on of "magical cores" but there's no indication of a limit to spellcraft beyond the stamina and capability of the wizard or witch.
how do we measure wizard powers
This isn't anime moron, there are no power levels. There's knowledge and skill. Harry was said to be an above average duelist at best but his spellcraft was shoddy, mostly due to his laziness
if there are no power levels then there are no lines to color inside of and anything can be anything and that sucks. my cumsock is stronger than Dumbledore.
moron real life doesn't have power levels, there are people of varying levels of skill and knowledge, real life doesn't function like your stupid weebshit. Dumbledore was considered a prodigy and also had the strongest wand ever made. Voldemort was also a prodigy and could duel dumbeldore toe to toe despite not having the Elder Wand
>moron real life doesn't have power levels
who's gonna tell him
By their intelligence as seen in HPMOR. Magic is severely underutilized in the books.
>based on this fanfic with an author who thinks he knows the ins and outs of the universe better than the person who actually made said universe
Do you have issues with the way he explores the magic system?
I never said that, I merely said anyone who isn't the actual creator is not more informed of how the system works because they're not the one who created it. It's like when morons want to tell Lucas what Star Wars is about
Rowling made up magic as needed for the plot tho, there isn't a consistent system in the books.
I don't think she cares to have one.
And she's the creator so magic works the way she deems it does. HPMOTR only does what the Author thinks is how it should work but since they're not the creator, they will never have better insight than Rowling
Dude, there is no "better" insight and Rowling isn't some god that can't be contradicted.
>the person who created Harry Potter can be contradicted about her own creation works
Yes?
That's not hownit works. Harry Potter works however Rowling wants it to work. If Rowling said every Wizard shits themselves instead using the bathroom then that's canon. It's not whatever some fanfiction author thinks howitzer should work
>every Wizard shits themselves instead using the bathroom
she did say this btw. iirc it was something along the lines of "wizards have no need for potty training, they just un-shit and un-piss themselves as needed." for real.
HPMOR doesn't change how the magic works but how Harry uses the magic and makes some assumptions about things that are never stated.
If Rowling contradicts it then okay, every time she does the system will be more fleshed out but there is only so much she can contradict HPMOR before the "official" system is a convoluted, special cased filled, mess.
The world must have its own internal logic outside of what the author pulls outside his or her ass.
It's reality bending really. Spells are just a way to formalize it so it has predictable outcomes.
You can spam spells non-stop as long as you can keep up the concentration.
Underage magic is basically wild magic that can do anything even without wands or incantations. It's implied grown up wizards could still do this, but by attending school they forced themselves to only use magic in one specific way.
Only because he dropped out of school
They all had dropped out of school in Deathly Hollows. Hermione already had her Apparition license before then. Harry flunked out of the class but to be fair it was because he was working with Dumbeldore at the time
One thing I thought Sabrina did really well was introduce the bureaucracy of magic use and explaining certain things like this.
eg. "magicking up" gold would ruin world economies etc.
Sabrina the Teenaged Witch not the shit Netflix show that was totally shit.
>accio a shit-ton of money
>accio will to live
i really wish they had talked about the absolutely insane shit they would absolutely be doing with magic re: sex. YOU JUST KNOW all that shit was getting used. there is NO REASON to ever stop the party. polyjuice in and i'm animating a motherfricking troupe of mannequins. catch me in the room of requiring shooting fricking ROPE.
he wasn't poor
his father ran an entire government branch dedicated to regular human stuff
hogwarts as a whole was a school for ultraelite sons and daughters of government higherups
they were just stingy
Well, the very first book established that the philosopher's stone is a unique and protected object, so yeah.
frick gold and currency, how about summoning food and edibles for free?
I'd conjure a wiener up my ass, if you know what I mean.
>not conjuring his own wiener
ngmi
>not popping your own wiener and balls with magic and joining Raven claw, think about it you wouldn't be the only one showing up to the dorms with your own wiener in your ass.
Which house produces the best femboys, how expensive would it be to polyjuice potion a raven claw into their female form.
You can't conjure something out of thin air because it doesn't last
I'm fairly sure you can't just conjure money considering currency is controlled by goblins, but that's beside the point, they have all this magic at their disposal and can create amazing shit with it like flying cars and pocket dimensions but they insist on living like hobos, there's literally no reason why they can't make the house larger and more luxurious with a similar spell to the one they use in their tent during the Quidditch tournament.
This is a fundamental issue with the concept of "It's just magic" in fiction, tough smarter writters usually come up with justifications for it, in Jill Murphy's The Worst Witch magic backfires when used for selfish reasons, in Ojamajo Doremi magic beads double as money so wasting them makes you poor, but J.K. Rowling is too idiotic to think that far ahead.
Why are African countries poor? They can literally go into the countryside and dig up gold????
How can wizards be poor?
