Why would gold be the constant if wizards can just transmute gold at will? It’s almost as if the whole thing was written by a woman of just average intelligence.
Step one: conjure a big pile of muggle money
Step two: use money to buy lots of real gold bullion
Step three: put gold bullion in israelite goblin bank
>You'd think magical bank robbers would be a thing if gold is the universal constant.
the bank gets robbed in the first book and movie just off screen. Goblins are extremely dangerous it's why they guard the bank, they're also utterly ruthless so they don't care if their magic and traps kill you unlike the wizards.
Nah it was so she had a simple explanation on how Harry could afford anything that no teenager could afford, especially when he's an orphan and living with guardians that basically hate him.
>you're a billionaire, Harry >never mentioned again
I can’t remember how it’s presented in the movies but the books seem to suggest it wasn’t a huge amount, he cautions himself against needless spending in the third book because his inheritance needs to tide him over until he graduates, and he doesn’t buy a Firebolt because he doesn’t think he’ll be able to afford it
it's just more wish fulfillment shit >geeky kid >lives with abusive aunt and uncle >just gets crappy hand me downs >waaaah i'm a nobody, no one cares about me >just kidding you've got special magic powers >also you're extremely famous in this community you've never heard of >also you're fricking loaded
he doesn't ever buy his own broom, mcgonagall or the school (?) gets him his first one and sirius the second
the only time it's really brought up in the books is him getting slightly better quality new stuff when ron has to get secondhand, and from the numbers jkr gives its a difference of like a few hundred dollars at the absolute max
You've got a shitton of money.
Now go live with people who hate you and would prefer it if you weren't there. They will actively keep you from your friends and magical life and you hate living there. But there's no other choice, right? All that money certainly can't help.
>If he imancipated himself he'd be in more danger of voldemort sending someone to kill him
That's probably the reasoning. It doesn't make sense but almost nothing in HP makes sense if you think about for more than five minutes.
Do you think Harry ever had problems with Ginny's lower class homemaking habits? Does Harry ever head out the door for his job as an Auror, and ask why the baby isn't dressed in more than a diaper yet? Does he sneer when Ginny says he's just a baby that's how her mom raised her and her brothers? Does it piss him off every time he sees the massive growing bag of saved grocery bags under his magical sink every time he looks under there? Can he put up with one more fricking night of this poor b***h making stupid trays of Stouffers like you can't just fricking buy real food with the money we make now?
well maybe Ginny would make more of an effort if Harry wasn't always "working" - watching quidditch down at the magic pubs - and why is he getting all those weird owls in the middle of the night from that girl who works down at the ministry?

No it would be a lot of painful irritation turning into violent arguing between a well-socialized poor woman and a fundamentally alienated orphan who now live together as he lives basically a double life having to force being the elite social leader he's become. They would be considered beyond reproach by the public, being admired to a point of parody by what seem like idiot masses, as internally Ginny is just in constant concern over the truth that her husband is just not a real person.
Something like that
>He was literally raised in a cupboard under the stairs,
I completely forgot that he was RAISED by them. for whatever I reason I thought the Harry moving in with them happened recently and not since he was a literal baby. that just makes it all the more cruel I think that they were treating him like shit since before he could even walk and talk and never accepted him as true family. doesnt even sound that realistic. I know at least Dudley would have to be fond of Harry since they would be play pals.
The books went into detail on how Dudley used Harry as a punching bag. But I agree that it was unrealistic how quickly Harry integrated with his peers. Normally kids raised in that environment are either future sociopaths or borderline nonverbal and asocial. He would probably be having panic attacks and PTSD episodes every day at the castle.
>lower class homemaking habits
most lower class families are raised to cook and clean, especially when there are a bunch of kids around the same age. in more traditional families ginny would be expected to do more chores than her brothers because she's the only girl. also, and this is the really key part, they're fricking magic so homemaking takes literally seconds.
I think James is descended from the creator of a hair regrowth potion. So he was a trust fund baby who bullied the ugly kid and married the school Stacy.
Yeah but would it really be a big pile of 'Harry's Gold'? If it's fungible currency used for loaning then there's really no 'your pile of gold' in the bank
I guess it was just supposed to be subversive stuff for kids >Harry isn't a friendless loser, he is actually a cool wizard! >Harry isn't poor, he is actually super rich! >Harry isn't bad at sports, he is actually super good in wizard game! >Harry isn't normal, he is special!
etc.
But he pays without thinking for anything he wants, which is only shit like butterbeer because he has no short term ambitions. It is pretty much realistic to how upper class kids behave.
how does their government work, because they don't have a government. They have a ministry. And ministry implies it is a part of the greater British government.
He's just a kid, and he's not brainwashed by modern consumerism. He could afford everything he conceivably wanted or needed for a fraction of the money he had, and he absolutely couldn't be bothered to consume any more, because why?
I ran a bunch of excerpts from the Harry Potter books into a "writing to IQ estimator" out of curiosity and the average I got was 83 IQ. Then I did the same with Terry Pratchett and got an average of 110. I'm might be pretty accurate
It took until the final book but JK Rolling-in-it addressed rules for magic to give the Potter crew real stakes when they were camping out >you can't make something from nothing >you can teleport what you need to you but only if you know where it is and there are no protective spells on it >you can make "more" of something you have but copies almost always have a magical time limit >You can transmute one thing into another but again usually there's a time limit (like polyjuice potion)
Not to stick up for her but she did finally make rules eve if it took her until the last books in the series
they addressed a lot of that when describing the philosophers stone in the first book. it was confirmed to be the only thing that could do true transformations of materials into gold, meaning no one else could do it. a lot can be implied about transformations, copies and alterations just from that
>somehow the weasleys are poor >somehow there is such a thing as a poor wizard >they don't just imperio random rich muggles or impersonate them or obliviate them or do anything to live a comfy neet life >they don't just take galleons and melt them down/exchange them for muggle money >they don't just rip off muggles with fake coins and israeliteelry they create at the whip of their wands >they don't just transfigure themselves other luxurious shit in general like a mansion >for some reason they MUST find a "job" after finishing hogwarts >said jobs are mostly ministry related
Harry Potter makes no sense
It's implied that wizards used to do shit like that to Muggles all the time and that's why they had to go into hiding and institute rules about magic use
Also George and Fred started a business, entrepreneurship exists in the wizarding world
Actually that's the biggest plot hole in the series, the wizards being in hiding anyway
Voldemort could fricking blow up bridges with his magic. It's stated they had spells that helped them survive being burned or lynched by Muggle mobs. So the entire premise is contrived, so why really care?
My headcanon is that they are in hiding because they would be BTFO'd by muggles if they came out of hiding. Like how is Voldy Doldy suppose to protect himself from navy seals sitting 2km away putting a hollow point through his skull? Or just drop a nuke where hogwarts is located
>My headcanon is that they are in hiding because they would be BTFO'd by muggles if they came out of hiding. Like how is Voldy Doldy suppose to protect himself from navy seals sitting 2km away putting a hollow point through his skull? Or just drop a nuke where hogwarts is located
the entire wizarding world in the UK is only a few thousand people. theres only around 30-40 kids in harry's age group at hogwarts. wizards are greatly outnumbered, and most have no intentions of fighting in some war against muggles. they arent invincible and they arent super soldiers. they went into hiding because they got blown the frick out back in the 1600s and they had better numbers then. things only got worse for wizards
Well then why don't they just fricking... I don't know, the whole idea of a society doesn't fricking work at that level. The idea they would just stumble upon the same things that some 47M people just in Britain do, I mean they're basically posh nerds LARPing at real society having boarding schools and shit like that.
What's the point in being a wizard? Seems like a hobby best reserved for the weekend and nothing more. At the height of Wizardry, before the war and their exile, what were these homies actually capable of and what did they do with their talent?
Why do writers consistently waste potentially fun concepts on such generic storylines that utilize said concepts for the most boring ends? Literally and figuratively, seeing as how despite all of the cool magic shit the end of the series is Harry and all of his dumbass friends becoming tired, old jobbers with zero passion or want for anything but to go home and cast some dumb fricking spell to treat their hemorrhoids.
Unironically I'd rather be a muggle, go to college, become an astronaut, and somewhere in between buy a handgun and get an open carry license than go to fricking Hogwarts and do what? Learn how to make some potions that are equal parts less effective and inefficient than modern muggle medicine? Eat shit, Dumbledore. No pun intended.
What's a word for the practical problems of society without passion or God? I mean sure there are atheist societies, but there's a specific evil in organized child soldiering with such a focus on military work and conquering space. This image is just like Ender's Game. It just looks like a society that has industrialized taking children's souls in a willful effort for universal supremacy. It's weird someone would draw that art with optimism.
>What's a word for the practical problems of society without passion or God?
I prefer "godless" or "godlessness". Nice and simple. And industrial society with man as capital.
>YOU LOST YOUR PARENTS SAVINGS FROM THE HOUSING MARKET CRASH HARRY >YES YOUR POSSESSIONS JUST MAGICALLY DISSAPEARED THROUGH israeli MAGIC YOUR PARENTS WORKED HARD FOR NOTHING IT'S ALL GONE AND THE BANKS WILL BE REWARDED WITH A BAILOUT, IT'S MAGIC HARRY, THEY SAID WORDS THAT CHANGED REALITY AND PEOPLE ACCEPTED IT
Grindelwald was worse than Voldermort, but he didn't have Horcruxes. Why is the story presented as though Voldermorts return is the end of the world when he has never spread his control outside of the UK?
>Why is the story presented as though Voldermorts return is the end of the world when he has never spread his control outside of the UK
Because the story is told from the perspective of Harry potter, who has been a target for Voldemort ever since he was a baby. Everyone he knows is also scared for various reasons. Also, Voldemort and his followers are cruel and sadistic and have little respect for justice or lawfulness, which is why many wizards who in theory have little to fear also stand against him.
Prophecy, I imagine. I don't actually know personally, but given that Harry Potter is literally Magic Jesus and is destined to kill He Who Must Not Be Named (that's Voldemort, btw), I would be willing to bet people who believe the prophecy could make the connection that Voldemort's intents are a greater threat.
Also I don't remember if Grindelwald hated half-bloods or not, but that's a pretty specific part of Voldemort. Wizard or not, he was going to cleanse the gene pool. Grindelwald wanted to evolve and rule, Voldemort wanted to kill as a form of therapy. Undoubtedly the latter had no plan of what the frick he was going to do if he had actually achieved this end.
I admit I’m not some expert in Harry Potter lore… but what exactly is the use of money in wizard society when they get and do most things with their own magic?
Also all the well paying jobs we see are government jobs.
> Also all the well paying jobs we see are government jobs.
That’s about it. Work for the government, or work for the only school in the country. You never see wizard lawyers or wizard pharmacists. And if you don’t go to Wizard college, maybe your uncle will let you sell overpriced quills in his shop in Diagon Alley.
The Story of Harry Potter is ultimately a Warning about Government overreach, expansion and control.
Being a Wizard is the ultimate ancap dream, but the government is holding a brother down.
"Hey, Potter! Nice coal burner wife! At least she's so poor she'll just be happy to have a roof over her head." Draco said with a drawl. Crabbe and Goyle sBlack personed.
Just consider this, the reason Harry is heroic character he ended up as, is SOLELY on the upbringing and cultivation of Uncle Vernon Dursley.
Who is the real hero?
Indeed. But the Good Uncle Vernon didn't kill him, as is within his right. He tried to be a good servant of the Lord, attempting to save the wicked child from sin and witchcraft. He will surely go to Heaven, but with his efforts scorned, he is unlikely to preach redemption for the sinners.
I've never really seen these movies before but the first one was playing at the dentist's office so I got to watch part of it. I was surprised at how childish the writing was. I don't mean that in a bad way, I just expected it to be a film for all ages.
It's literally a children's book/movie, especially the first. The series moves towards older kids/teens as it goes along. First book is the best, first movie is the best. I will not elaborate.
I mean, its not like many of his serious problems were based around not having money. He did want a new broom at one point, but he understandably felt bad about blowing his inheritance on something frivolous. And when he was a fugitive hobo, he couldnt just walk into Gringotts
You'd think magical bank robbers would be a thing if gold is the universal constant.
Why would gold be the constant if wizards can just transmute gold at will? It’s almost as if the whole thing was written by a woman of just average intelligence.
>Why would gold be the constant if wizards can just transmute gold at will?
They can’t, it disintegrates after a few hours
Step one: conjure a big pile of muggle money
Step two: use money to buy lots of real gold bullion
Step three: put gold bullion in israelite goblin bank
haha that would never happen haha
You forgot the second part of Step one (magically rig the money so it explodes in a couple days).
Step four: get thrown into Pound-me-in-the-Asskaban prison for misusing magic.
>I can find a flaw in your magical fiction book, I am very intelligent
A good story is not the most logical things happening subsequentially
They got goblin magic and dragons guarding the bigger vaults
goblin magic, like golems and star of david wards
>You'd think magical bank robbers would be a thing if gold is the universal constant.
the bank gets robbed in the first book and movie just off screen. Goblins are extremely dangerous it's why they guard the bank, they're also utterly ruthless so they don't care if their magic and traps kill you unlike the wizards.
then why don't the goblins steal from the banks
they do, it's called interest
The plot of harry potter really about dumble door and hagrid sealing all his money and voldemort trying to get it back
I think Rowling just did a very brief character description and decided to make him rich without ever thinking how it would fit or help with the story
Nah it was so she had a simple explanation on how Harry could afford anything that no teenager could afford, especially when he's an orphan and living with guardians that basically hate him.
Which is why he needs to get a decent broom as a gift. Frick off.
It always contrasts with Ron's situation. I think several times Harry offers to pay for school supplies for Ron
I can’t remember how it’s presented in the movies but the books seem to suggest it wasn’t a huge amount, he cautions himself against needless spending in the third book because his inheritance needs to tide him over until he graduates, and he doesn’t buy a Firebolt because he doesn’t think he’ll be able to afford it
it's just more wish fulfillment shit
>geeky kid
>lives with abusive aunt and uncle
>just gets crappy hand me downs
>waaaah i'm a nobody, no one cares about me
>just kidding you've got special magic powers
>also you're extremely famous in this community you've never heard of
>also you're fricking loaded
This.
Rowling is a dumb biddy and these books are for slow children.
>gets that sweet Potter money after the divorce, no going back to the Weasley farm for Ginny
I don't get why doesn't the world of Wizardry use fiat currency?
it's a fantasy world, so there are no israelites
>there are no israelites
Never happened
They already have dark magic
They did. There was 1 Horcrux, but it became 7 because of inflation.
its solely so there's no further questions how he can afford fancy shit despite having 0 income
what fancy shit does harry even buy? He gets a nice broom and thats it.
Was Cho chang gold digging harry?
>he knows they'll never eat all the sweets
>just wants to gatekeep the other students and rob their treats
he doesn't ever buy his own broom, mcgonagall or the school (?) gets him his first one and sirius the second
the only time it's really brought up in the books is him getting slightly better quality new stuff when ron has to get secondhand, and from the numbers jkr gives its a difference of like a few hundred dollars at the absolute max
so was the British Wizard economy hurt by Brexit? and what's their tax policy?
All trans people need to pay extra ''ynbaw tax''
imagine if harry started flying private jets and being chauffeured to hogwarts in a rolls royce
You've got a shitton of money.
Now go live with people who hate you and would prefer it if you weren't there. They will actively keep you from your friends and magical life and you hate living there. But there's no other choice, right? All that money certainly can't help.

That's probably the reasoning. It doesn't make sense but almost nothing in HP makes sense if you think about for more than five minutes.
Why doesn't Harry give some of that money to the Weasley family?
rich people are really stingy. Its how they are
They’d refuse it. Though the twins accepted his triwizard tourney winnings to start their joke shop.
he did in the form of marrying their daughter
Do you think Harry ever had problems with Ginny's lower class homemaking habits? Does Harry ever head out the door for his job as an Auror, and ask why the baby isn't dressed in more than a diaper yet?

got something you want to talk about, chief?
Didn’t know my Dad posts on Cinemaphile.
How is the economy still a thing when theres the magical drown in infinite gold thing from the later movies?
shh
All copies are shitter then the original
That's how the American economy has been working for decades, it doesn't get better but people don't stop doing it
My head canon was that those are just illusory objects and eventually disappear after a certain amount of time.
>My head canon
its fact, thats how the spell works
Not only is that what happens, the objects conjured are burning hot as well
Why were his parents so fricking rich anyway? Is this all their life insurance?
I think James is descended from the creator of a hair regrowth potion. So he was a trust fund baby who bullied the ugly kid and married the school Stacy.
His dad was 25% ashkenazi israeli
James and his gang of lads were clearly Wizarding World Cryptobros.
can't they create shit out of nothing? Why the frick did they have money?
So in this a bank is more like a large storage locker where you hoard gold, is that it? Like it's not really a bank its just a vault.
That's how people who don't know much about the economy think banks work.
perhaps they loan it out and then pay harry interest and dividends on the new wizard world GDP growth.
Yeah but would it really be a big pile of 'Harry's Gold'? If it's fungible currency used for loaning then there's really no 'your pile of gold' in the bank
I guess it was just supposed to be subversive stuff for kids

Why didn't Harry just pay Voldemort 100 galleons to frick off?
its not about the money, its about sending a message to the wizarding world

Question for Lore Heads.
Grindelwald was worse than Voldermort, but he didn't have Horcruxes. Why is the story presented as though Voldermorts return is the end of the world when he has never spread his control outside of the UK?
>. Why is the story presented as though Voldermorts return is the end of the world
Horcuxes bad. Simple as.
>Why is the story presented as though Voldermorts return is the end of the world when he has never spread his control outside of the UK
Because the story is told from the perspective of Harry potter, who has been a target for Voldemort ever since he was a baby. Everyone he knows is also scared for various reasons. Also, Voldemort and his followers are cruel and sadistic and have little respect for justice or lawfulness, which is why many wizards who in theory have little to fear also stand against him.

Also all the well paying jobs we see are government jobs.

they don't, so your entire question is wrong
> Also all the well paying jobs we see are government jobs.
That’s about it. Work for the government, or work for the only school in the country. You never see wizard lawyers or wizard pharmacists. And if you don’t go to Wizard college, maybe your uncle will let you sell overpriced quills in his shop in Diagon Alley.
The Story of Harry Potter is ultimately a Warning about Government overreach, expansion and control.
Being a Wizard is the ultimate ancap dream, but the government is holding a brother down.
How to become a real wizard? Tried following occult guides but nothing ever happens.
Why didn't he buy a bigger house for Ron's family? They're poor as shit
They wouldn't take his money. Harry bought Ron Christmas/birthday presents, probably all he could get away with.
The Reason you can't firebomb arab villages with living fire snakes is because the government has decided it is "dark" magix.
>AND THEY WON'T LET US WRITE "FRICK" ON OUR BROOMSTICKS BECAUSE...IT'S "OBSCENE"
"Hey, Potter! Nice coal burner wife! At least she's so poor she'll just be happy to have a roof over her head." Draco said with a drawl. Crabbe and Goyle sBlack personed.
Just consider this, the reason Harry is heroic character he ended up as, is SOLELY on the upbringing and cultivation of Uncle Vernon Dursley.
Who is the real hero?
Harry is literally a witch. Vernon is well within his rights to kill him. Read the Bible.
Indeed. But the Good Uncle Vernon didn't kill him, as is within his right. He tried to be a good servant of the Lord, attempting to save the wicked child from sin and witchcraft. He will surely go to Heaven, but with his efforts scorned, he is unlikely to preach redemption for the sinners.
I've never really seen these movies before but the first one was playing at the dentist's office so I got to watch part of it. I was surprised at how childish the writing was. I don't mean that in a bad way, I just expected it to be a film for all ages.
>I just expected it to be a film for all ages.
where the frick did you ever get that idea? the book was meant for kids.
I dunno, maybe seeing all the teenagers and grown adults creaming their pants over the series over the years?
It's kidslop
It's literally a children's book/movie, especially the first. The series moves towards older kids/teens as it goes along. First book is the best, first movie is the best. I will not elaborate.
>morons fail to grasp why wish fulfillment children's fiction has the poor kid get rich
>wish fulfillment children's fiction has the poor kid get rich
So much 90's kino.
Built for BCC.
How did the Potters make their obscene wealth anyways?
>refused to rent a better car
>implying
Them two homie ain't even had they plastic yet.
Harry could easily rent a Wizard limousine
I mean, its not like many of his serious problems were based around not having money. He did want a new broom at one point, but he understandably felt bad about blowing his inheritance on something frivolous. And when he was a fugitive hobo, he couldnt just walk into Gringotts
