The Weasleys weren't poor so much as a big family. Lucius and Arthur are coworkers and Lucius is also the father of one whereas the Weasleys are a family of like 5.
Also just general British class system, Ron being working class wizard meant he always seemed haggard, never hungry, but wearing his brother's old clothes. Draco meanwhile being the golden only child of Lucius gets the new toys before everyone and acts like a rich cunt despite that comparative wealth being mostly because he has no brothers or sisters as basically the entire wizard economy seems to be bureaucrat jobs with a few retail spots that have existed in the same nature forever.

The Weasleys are a famous pureblood noble family, which is why Malfoy recognises Ron by sight. They live their retarded frugal lifestyle because they want to. All the men in the family have good jobs. Bill works doing wizard cybersecurity at the goblin jew bank, Charlie works abroad with dragons, Percy and the dad are government cucks, the twins are business owners, Ginny is a pro quidditch player, and Ron is a fucking glowie. and at school they're all chads, prefects, quidditch stars, head boys.

The Weasleys being impoverished losers is a fucking meme. Ron's mum not giving him any money for the trolley is because she's one of those DIY moms that wants to do everything herself.

What exactly is the Wizard economy anyways? Everyone is some sort of bureaucrat, there's a major broomstick manufacturer and wand manufacturer, but outside of that they have their own currency so it's not like you can get a degree from Hogwarts and then say get a job at a Stadium using magic to make intricate repairs to cracking concrete or using a wand to do forklift operations. The minister of magic knows the PM, but it's not like he's out there going, and we'll send 5000 of our wizards out to the front in Afghanistan to help with medical treatment and repel mortar fire.

Money is near meaningless in the wizard world because you can just wave a wand and *poof* now you’ve got a 12 bedroom mansion. They don’t really care about wealth as much as status, and that’s entirely determined by ancestry.
I think there is a ban on making gold & currency out of nothing, but it’s a moot point since:

I have a list of poor friends I would like to help in case I ever make a few millions. The trick is to not donate money, but give them gifts. It's humiliating to receive money while doing nothing, but if you buy them an apartment, it works.

I don't think Harry's supposed to be particularly rich, he just got his inheritance early and has nothing to spend it on but school supplies

This thread is pointless because Rowling is a hack.
It is very clearly stated that Harry's vault is packed with PILES of coins, of several of them, not just one little stack, on the first book.
BUT this was retconned on the later books, and Harry had "enough for him to last him a couple years" and that his "vault was reducing considerably"
BUT that was re-retconned, when Sirius died and left everything to Harry. Which amounted to nothing but his stinky place, as he was poor.
BUT this is a re-re-re-retcon, as Sirius got him the Firebolt, which implies he was stacked and should have left Harry another good stack of money.
Bear in mind Sirius money has been collecting free interest untouched for 12 years.
And Harry got fuckall.
So the Harry's wealth has literally plot-armor treatment, going up and down as the plot see fit.

>>213379084
It was written by a socialist women, why are you surprised that she doesn't know why currency exist, and that only added currency to her world the same way she sees currency in the real world: just a thing you have to have.
It's some round shiny thing with names and with loosely divided equivalences and you use them to pay for some things.
Nothing more, but not because kids don't need the underlying explanation, it's because Rowling doesn't KNOW the underlying explanation of how money works or why.
To her, it's just a system that's just there.

They live an intentionally spendthrift lifestyle. As soon as some money falls in their lap they immediately spend it on a nice vacation. They go cheap on unimportant shit like schoolbooks (used is just as good as new) and then save up for fun shit. Only Ron's got a bug up his ass about it.

the copout was that apparently the Weasley were too proud to accept his charity

of course that whole situation makes 0 sense considering there's 0 reason the Weasleys are poor. as a magic user you can literally craft something out of nothing. raw energy or matter that did not prviously exist, can pop into existence because you willed it to. perpetuum mobile. it should not be possible to be poor when you can create something out of nothing, but i guess Rowling didn't think it through

>>213378637

This, plus they're probably raking in the cash once it's just Ginny and Ron living at home in the later books. They also grow their own food, they're just visually shabby because they're self-sufficiencyfags who make all their own things.

>>213383427
Doesn't matter. That has no bearing on law, only the reason/result. No case ever was ever on the line for being 4 punches instead of 7 punches or how many of them you enjoyed.
I get it that it's emotionally taxing for you and you wish to inject your discontent into code of conduct, but it doesn't matter.
What matters is the trigger she said, and her final state: concious and walking and probably reasoning, which actually tells you the punches aren't mma nigger tier or she wouldn't be able to even stand up

>>213381223
>retarded 11 year old child is given access to his inheritance before he's of legal age for some ungodly neglectful reason and blows a considerable amount of it by the time he's an adult

>>213383443
>>213377842
>>213381772
I hate you fags for saying that in this thread.
The OP's intention is obviously talking about generosity.
Harry giving away his money to the twins is explicitly stated as him being disgusted by the money, NOT out of generosity.

>>213383608
Shit like that is done to men defending themselves every day though. At least in the west
"You shouldn't have punched him when he was down" "one punch was enough for self defense"

This was a different situation though,'but these things matter in a court. Gay as it is.

Guy shouldn't have smashed the woman completely when one or two punches would've sufficed

>>213383649
I have followed his life and everything he's done pretty much since he was 10 years old and he never ever ever "blows a considerable amount" in anything ever

>>213383649
Just low income parasites that should have had their lineage killed off decades ago

>>213383776

You see, that's why there's trials and jury duty.
You say that, but my stated fact and the video evidence shows otherwise.
You can clearly see the women standing, and then extending her arms trying to add distance, then as soon as the door opens rushing outside.
It's a lot of blood, but that's overriding your logical mind.

In the third book Harry considers buying the firebolt but doesn't because it would clear out a lot of his vault. Which implies that he probably has the real world equivalent of like 300k or something in there. He's not a wizard billionaire. In the first book Harry's benchmark for being wealthy is "can buy an entire trolley of sweeties and school supplies". Starting from the 3rd book when he's older he realises that it's not actually enough to live the high life off.

>>213384009
You are misremember it.
I clearly remember him explicitly not looking at the price of the firebolt, and this makes his "empty the vault" a figure of speech.
There is also explicit piles of gold on the first book. Piles and piles.
There's no "realization", only explitic retcons. Not the same thing.

Reading the books as a kid I always interpreted the Weasleys being "poor" more as Rons own personal issue of wanting to stand out more, theres a lot of passages where Harry clearly loves their hospitality and what they have on offer is more than enough for him, and Hermione too.

I mean the whole family goes to World Cup ($$$$) and Mr. Weasley had some rare classic car so he was in the Wizard equivalent of the classic car scene which is only for middle class and above.

The Texas state legislature, at the behest of Governor Abbott and President Trump, are voting on redrawing the congressional districts of the state to create five more safe Republican seats in Congress. The Democratic state legislators, in protest, have fled Texas for Illinois, denying the legislature of quorum, therefore preventing any votes to be held. Governor Abbott has said he will declare their seats vacant if they do not return. Apparently Illinois is paying them to flee the state which Abbott is arguing counts as them accepting political bribes for which they can be kicked out of office for.

I don't "simp" for Ukraine just because I think muscovy needs to be nuked and any subhumans that perpetuate vranyo and dedovschina need to be systematically eradicated from the Earth to benefit humanity.

To be fair congressional districts being their own thing seperate from county and municipal borders, and arbitrarily defined based off polling is bullshit.

like every single slytherin depicted is just waiting to openly be a wizard nazi again but nobody really cares, its just kinda what those silly slytherins do I guess

>donates $0 to the Weasley family

Why the hell should he donate? They’re basically the wizarding equivalent of a Section 8 household with a dozen kids, a flying car held together with spit and spells, and a dad whose life’s work is reverse-engineering Muggle microwaves like he’s Nikola Tesla with brain damage.

You’re telling me they live in a world where people can conjure literal food, teleport across continents, and fix bones with a flick of a wand...yet the Weasleys are out here wearing hand-me-down robes and sending howlers over textbook costs? Bro just duplicate a Galleon or hit Gringotts with a Confundus charm. Fraud is legal when it’s whimsical.

And Arthur? This man wakes up every day and chooses poverty. He works for the Ministry's equivalent of the DMV, obsesses over plug sockets, and lets his kids get bullied by rich necromancer spawn because he refuses to just enchant his resume. Like bruh, slap a "Prestige Aura +2" on yourself and apply for a better job. Or ask Dumbledore for hazard pay considering how often your kids get nearly murdered at school.

There's your answer. "The Basilisk" is a threat in a charming, whimsical world of magic when the series is a cute mystery story.
"The Basilisk" is fucking cannon fodder once the stories got LE DARK and LE EPIC.

The makers of these movies should've donated me money for having to sit through the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

Is this real?

He gave the Weasley twins their seed money to start their business and from that they became extremely wealthy and carried the family on their backs. Had he just given the money to Arthur and Molly they probably would've squandered it on another family vacation or some other useless frippery and they still would've been poor afterward. Harry wisely avoided giving the money to Ron's parents, opting instead to finance his brilliant and industrious older brothers.

>>213379430
Adults dismissing kids is a common trope because it's true. Kids are molested and bullied and all kinds of shit by adults and the ones they're supposed to trust ignore it all the time.

(Ron Weasely breaks wand trying to get Harry to Hogwarts on time in his dad's magic flying car).

Ron Weasley's Broken Wand
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5mTUNnvnWkw

Harry Potter: "Thanks for getting me to school on time AT GREAT RISK TO YOURSELF... shame about your wand, I guess I cannot use my HUGE PILES OF GOLD COINS, to repay you for helping me."

Ron: "So how much did your wand cost you?"

Harry: "Suck it Ron. Suck it good."

Philosopher’s Stone, Ch 5, “Diagon Alley.” is the reference for the price: “Harry paid seven gold Galleons”.

In Harry Potter's world, 7 gold galleons are worth approximately $44.45, based on the conversion of 7 galleons to USD using the value of $6.35 per galleon, according to Sideshow. This is based on the idea that a galleon is worth roughly $6.35 in modern currency. This is just an approximation, as the exact value of a galleon can fluctuate. For example, in the Harry Potter universe, Harry's wand cost 7 galleons, which is estimated to be around $44.45 in modern currency

In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, when Harry first encounters the snack trolley on the Hogwarts Express, he buys a little of everything available.This purchase of a variety of wizarding sweets cost him eleven silver Sickles and seven bronze Knuts.In terms of real-world currency value, it is estimated that one Sickle is roughly equivalent to $1.50, and one Knut is about $0.05. Therefore, Harry's purchase could be seen as costing approximately $17 to $18 in Muggle money. However, it's worth noting that J.K. Rowling has stated a Galleon (17 Sickles) is roughly equal to five British pounds, which would put the price at around $7 at the time of the interview.

>>213389214
>seasmus tries it

>>213377842
>He literally funded the brothers magic shop

Harry Potter provided Fred and George Weasley with 1,000 Galleons to help them start Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes.
This came from his winnings from the Triwizard Tournament. While the twins initially resisted taking the money, Harry insisted they take it, saying he would "throw it down the drain" if they didn't. Harry's only request was that they use some of it to buy Ron new dress robes and not mention his involvement to their mother.

===

In Harry Potter, 1000 galleons is worth approximately £5,000 or $6,640 USD, according to fan estimations. This is based on J.K. Rowling's statement that a galleon is roughly equivalent to five British pounds.

>>213387576
Harry needed it more than Ron did, and Ron had a chip on his shoulder about always getting his brothers' hand-me-downs and living in their shadows. The map would just be one more legacy for him to inherit and feel bitter about. Ron wanted to be great in his own right, and the map to him would've simply been a tool for self aggrandizement.

Who cares? Women need to be raped and killed. It is the only language they understand. Women enjoy rape. Don't let them tell you otherwise, because they are notorious liars and don't know their own minds. Women want to be held down and fucked hard. They want to be made to cry and scream. Women have a biological imperative to be raped. Did you know that women who are raped are twice as likely to conceive as women who have unprotected consensual sex? It is a fact. Women who are raped often have orgasms as well - some women have never had an orgasm in their lives save for a rape. The desire to be sexually dominated is deeply programed into the woman. This is a fact of evolution that cannot be denied without women becoming unbalanced. Feminism is really just an outward manifestation of an internal problem with modern women. These 'feminists' desperately want to be put in their place. That's why they act out so much and are so belligerent. Whether they know it or not, subconsciously they want to piss men off and get men to make them submit. They want to be slapped in the face, told to shut the fuck up, and then raped until they can't stand up. This is what women really want. I say we give it to them

>>213381223
>BUT this is a re-re-re-retcon, as Sirius got him the Firebolt, which implies he was stacked and should have left Harry another good stack of money.

NOTE:
In the United States, the average weekly pay for a manufacturing worker is approximately $997 before taxes.

In the Harry Potter universe, the most prestigious broomsticks were undoubtedly expensive. Estimating their cost in US dollars requires understanding the value of wizarding currency (Galleons, Sickles, and Knuts) in relation to Muggle currency.

According to the Harry Potter Wiki, one Galleon is approximately equal to $6.64 USD.
Using this conversion rate, the US dollar cost of the fancy broomsticks can be estimated:

Nimbus 2000: With an estimated cost of 150 Galleons, the price would be approximately $996 USD.

Nimbus 2001: Estimated at 180 Galleons, the price is roughly $1195.20 USD.

Firebolt: This top-of-the-line broomstick, estimated at 300 Galleons, would have cost around $1992 USD.

Important considerations
J.K. Rowling mentioned in 2001 that one Galleon was roughly £5, equivalent to about $7 USD. However, a more precise conversion rate of $6.35 per Galleon has been calculated, accounting for inflation and other factors.

Wizards are generally self sufficient but experts would do things better. The economy exists for expertise and convenience. The ministry is so large because if your citizens can do most things themselves then the only thing left is STOPPING them from doing bad things. Hogwarts exists to produce wizards because of course wizards should learn magic, it's like education back in antiquity, it's not a vocational school.

I thought it would be easy to get rich if you have magic but actually it might be difficult to get away with. You can't magic yourself a successful business, or create products which fall apart or disappear after the spell wears off. You still have to do magic discretely which is very limiting.

I'm figuring Wizard Gold is wildly impure or like Chinese Fake Gold. Definitely not 24K gold. It has to at least be Electroplated Tungsten.

Based on current market prices, the market value of 0.76 grams of pure gold can be calculated by multiplying the weight by the price per gram. The price of pure gold (24K) is approximately $108.56 - $109.07 USD per gram.
Therefore, the market value is approximately:
0.76 grams * $108.56/gram = $82.50 USD
or
0.76 grams * $109.07/gram = $82.89 USD.

Value and alchemy:
Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has indicated that a Galleon is worth roughly £5, or about $6.64 USD. If a Galleon were pure gold, it would be worth significantly more than that. This suggests that wizarding gold is likely alloyed with other metals, or perhaps even alchemically treated to have a different value in the wizarding world.

($6.64 worth of gold is 0.088 grams of gold. In more familiar terms, that's about 88 milligrams. Or about the weight of a standard paperclip made of aluminum.)

The Weasleys are happily poor and contented with their life, the joy of a large happy family brings more meaning than any material wealth.

like all the joke gifts and candy in their store is made with magic no? its not like they have their shit made in house elf sweatshops

JK Rowling is an anglo-supremacist and the economy in HP makes zero sense. How do people even make money? What kind of labor is really done to create wealth? The only real workers we see are slaves and bankers, both elves, plus a few larper shops. As far as we know it's all slavery but it doesn't many any sense why the elves would slave themselves just to keep wizards happy and rent-free.

there was an elf/wizard war who knows how long ago and the elves were so "evil" that those who survived and accept defeat promised that their race would be 100% obedient for the rest of time.
and for goblins its simply in their nature to hoard wealth and to keep it safe
so its either they do it legally or they do it illegally
pretty simple choice
also better that goblins do it because no one trusts them anyways and they dont associate with anyone but other goblins
so its not like you are going to live next to a goblin that you distrust and also give them all your money for safe keeping
also goblin(and elf) magic is 100% separate from human magic
so its like a dog keeping their money in a human bank that is only designed to be opened by humans
any other dog wanting to break in is simply incapable of physically doing so or even imagining how the bank was constructed in the first place.

also better that goblins do it because no one trusts them anyways and they dont associate with anyone but other goblins
so its not like you are going to live next to a goblin that you distrust and also give them all your money for safe keeping

In the books a lot of people seemed very distrust of goblins, yet they still gave them their money for god knows what reason. Why would they even give wizards their work and time for? Don't they have anything better to do than hoard other people's money, especially if it supposedly, like you said, is like fake currency to them. What the hell do Goblins even get of this deal?

It's clear that JK Rowling couldn't bother with any of these questions because she's a hack with less skill at world building than a 10 year old writing Star Wars fanfiction and all of these characters are there just to make the world look more fantastical.

If you live in a world were you can literally magically create everything and you're still poor there is something wrong with you
