What about all the other kids on the train

what about all the other kids on the train

now you know the real reason draco hates potter.

>first year at hogwarts
>waiting for the candy trolley, want to buy your mates some chocolate frogs
>no trolley
>find out some potter kid bought out the whole thing
>the WHOLE trolley.

It's enough to make you want to become a death eater, to be honest.

That "I don't fuckin' fink so" picture made me laugh out loud for about 5 minutes when I first saw it.

Very Lynchian indeed

she can literally just poof the shit into existence

they're retarded children for paying money for it

They can vanish candy like they vanish their shitty underwear after shitting their pants

this scene seemed pretty dark for a harry potter movie. why is harry painted as the hero, again? he has much more in common with a Lovecraft villain.

someone post that shit

Imagine being such a shitty wizard that even after an extensive education in Magic of all kinds you end up working the candy trolley on the kid's train.

This scene changes a lot once you realise she's actually a hideous monster that has been cursed to guard the Hogwarts Express for all eternity.

Stop trying to force this, you are too late to the party

No, first she has to shit then she turns it into DELICIOUS sweets.

probably a squib

but can wizards make food anyway? if people dont starve i can see some underachievers just settling for whatever comfy job they can get like flipping burgers or selling candy to kids

TROUBLE WITH THE TROLLEY, DEAR?

Wizards can't poof magical potions into existence. they have to gather ingredients, follow a recipe, and wave a wand around. Enchanted candies probably work much like potions.

i could have sworn some rule about not being able to make food out of thin air was mentioned a couple times

It's stated in the books and also in the movies that food is one of the things you have to actually make, you can't conjure it out of thin air

...

Hermione says this as she turns an old boot or whatever into something edible. They can transmute food but they can't create it.

Because people want "safe". They want "comfy". They want "familiar". That's why they'll discuss films based on one of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. 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.

Yeah, it was a plot point in the fifth book when Hermione found out all the feasts in the great hall were a product of house elf slave labor.

ok guys we actually need to quarantine threads with lovecraft posters in them, we cant have this spreading like Sneedposting did

He probably just meant one or two of everything.

Also it's probably a magical cart with extradimensional storage space.

a truly kafkaesque post

well that solves their recycling problem

im guessing they still cant change literal shit to food ?

she something like a demon preventing people to getting down in the play

a bit lovecraftian

>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.
While this copypasta is old and stale, I always agreed with this line. Magic in the books is pretty cool. In the movies, it may as well be a goddamn sci-fi flick, since every single magic fight is just SET WANDS TO STUN, FIRE VAGUELY-COLORED BOLTS THAT THROW PEOPLE BACK WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING

This. Even having a trolley or a person manning it is retarded.

Wtf. Just have a menu in each cabin with all the choices, and you touch the menu and infinite candy appears.

lol

>can duplicate any food you want

Why even buy candy after the first time?

self imposed obliviousness to their own futility is a common lynchian trope

You can't duplicate magically trademarked food

calm down there nietzsche

rowling was subtly teaching children to hate rich people

>magical world
>they still have to take a slow as fuck train to go to school

the magical millenium copyright act made it illegal to try to break protective anti-duplication spells on food

holy shit I am crying

>rocketships exists
>kids still take the bus to school
wtf i hate public transportation now

You're supposed to make a clever intro you fag

>have items that with a touch can teleport you to predetermined location
>have system that can teleport you to predetermined location if you say the location
>have magical items you can enter and exit out of a completely different location
>lol let's take the train

No

Being a squib would suck so much, I'd literally go into business making magical gadgets that squibs can use in day-to-day life.

>I'd literally go into business making magical gadgets that squibs can use in day-to-day life.
Yeah like a device you can carry around in your pocket that gives you access to unlimited information anywhere you go

I honestly thought this for like 75% of all the movies. Gringotts has rent-a-cops. The leaky cauldron has a bartender. There are countless shit-tier wizards doing menial tasks that other magical effects and items are shown doing all the time. The wizarding world has a very low population. Maybe 50 thousand at most. Muggles have all these shit jobs because we don;t have magic but do have a lot of people. What's the their excuse?

If you were a smart squib you could probably get into making potions. Some number of them don't need you to cast an enchantment on them.

The franchise is fantasy amusement park porn for children and young adults.

The kids are always gulping down a deliciously sweet drink with alcohol in it. This is what every eleven year old dreams of.

Fucking triggered that's not even remotely nietzschean is that the only philosopher you know you soft cunt?

>We'll take the lot
Isn't this an American expression?

in the US release they dubbed it to we'll take a lot

Electronics don't work in high magic areas (it's an asspull but whatever). If you could find a way to magic proof them though yeah that would really help.

Potions are good, for convenience maybe even try to mass produce ones most useful to squibs.

My main idea though was make shit like self-cleaning clothes, autonomous tools like mops, items that protect against curses, first aid stuff, maybe even flying stealth cars.

based

Fuck em'.

Truly Wilesesque

Maybe she has more than one trolley's worth of candy and she just needs to load it up again before continuing her route.

Pretty sure it's Irish

Because Harry Potter is a selfish and inconsiderate cunt! It is this typical passive liberal crap that made Harry Potter 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.

I know you're sensitive about your philosophy degree sweetie but no one cares about your little Kierkegaard-esque outburst mmk?

This idea is pretty lovecraftian desu

most pretentious opinion of the day award goes to..

wtf this is still being posted

to get more frog cards and different flavors of every flavor bean, duh

>we'll take the lot
>next shot they have maybe a handfull of food
Where the fuck did the trolley go?

what was Dumbledore's tax policy? Does Hogwarts get a cut of what is sold from the trolley?

Imagine being a wizard and being able to do all sorts of magic but then your job is selling candy to kids on a school train.

There's a hokey rule in there about not being able to conjure food.

I always thought this meant we'll take 1 or 2 of each product, not literally the entire cart.

Luckily neither of them threw one of the Pumpkin Pasties to each other or it would have exploded and killed one of them.

But they can conjure water just fine
The dullest franchise has no rules and it's just a shitty tale about an Oi m8 imma hit you in the gabber boarding school

I think with the trolley lady the reality is that she probably does it because she likes to do it. I mean, the train is like a four times a year thing? School starts after summer, school stop before christmas, school starts after christmas, school stop before summer. She works the trolley on these trips and then goes back to doing something else. Most likely she works at hogwarts or the candy company that makes all the shit she sell. I mean, even if you're a wizard, owning a candy store and stuff can still be your dream job.

Also working security at gringots is also probably a pretty serious job and you probably need to know a lot of combat spells to qualify. I mean, the place literally has dragons guarding their shit as well, why would they cheap on the wizard guards?

>He probably just meant one or two of everything.

Explicitly said in the books

>Around half past twelve there was a great clattering outside in the corridor and a smiling, dimpled woman slid back their door and said, ‘Anything off the trolley, dears?’
>Harry, who hadn’t had any breakfast, leapt to his feet, but Ron’s ears went pink again and he muttered that he’d brought sandwiches. Harry went out into the corridor.
>He had never had any money for sweets with the Dursleys and now that he had pockets rattling with gold and silver he was ready to buy as many Mars Bars as he could carry – but the woman didn’t have Mars Bars. What she did have were Bertie Bott’s Every-Flavour Beans, Drooble’s Best Blowing Gum, Chocolate Frogs, Pumpkin Pasties, Cauldron Cakes, Liquorice Wands and a number of other strange things Harry had never seen in his life. Not wanting to miss anything, he got some of everything and paid the woman eleven silver Sickles and seven bronze Knuts.

But they conjured food in that first grand feast at the beginning of school.

there are two ns in millennium you're welcome

no, it gets teleported from the kitchens where the house n-elves cook it

new

>paid the woman eleven silver Sickle

Is Harry Potter wizard socialism?

I appreciate the spyro 2 reference

Fake news, Hermione

Why did Harry let Ron show up to that dance with a shitty suit? Why did Harry let Ron squabble in poverty in general? Why was Ron poor anyway? How can there be poor or rich wizards if they can just make fucking anything?

more importantly how did he know how much money to give? how did she know how much it all costed? does she count it everytime before she goes to work?

So why did Ron's mom wad his sandwich up into a ball? Why was she so abusive to her children? She had no reason to do that.

Harry tried paying for Ron's shit loads of times but Ron always got embarrassed and angry.

>he got some of everything
The way you phrased your post made me think you were trying to prove that user wrong, not back them up.

because ron is a whiny little cunt and is going to bitch anyway

How the fuck does money even work in the magic world? Can't you just make whatever out of whatever?

That image is 4/10 bait

dummy

Let me see. Assorted villains... gloomy imagery... stretched his legs... this must be the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises.

he probably shoved it into his pocket like an ungrateful little shit when his mom gave it to him

Can't make gold bruh. There's a reason the god-emperor hoards that shit.

That's fucking stupid. Harry was wealthy for no reason. Didn't he realize Harry was just trying to do good with the wealth he needlessly inherited? Also, again, how is Ron poor? Are his parents just fucking horrible at magic that they can't make whatever the family needs?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that.

Where did Molly get the saran wrap? Did she have to go to a muggle Kroger and buy some?

How is gold valuable to magic people? If you can make anything with magic, what is the use of gold?

why haven´t the wizards ended world hunger

...

Anyone who use real silver to buy a bunch of candies from a trolley doesn't deserve that money.

Fucking 1%ers

The spell for "turn this tree into a stool that won't break" is a high skill spell requiring years of practice to master. Most wizards would rather buy one than waste the time required to learn how to make one.

>Also, again, how is Ron poor? Are his parents just fucking horrible at magic that they can't make whatever the family needs?

Because there's like eight kids

Why isn't the wizarding world post-scarcity like star trek? How do economic classes still exist among them?

It costs more money to create the gold than what it'd be worth. Just like in real life.

>a couple candy bars cost several gold coins

>Harry was wealthy for no reason
He was the last living heir to an ancient bloodline...
