Weasleys are supposed to be poor

>Live in a huge house in the country
It wasn't that huge, especially not with 35 ginger fucking shits running around.

There are too many ways of Harry Potter not making a lick of sense and being generally utter shit to bother to count. That is a very specific one, and it's probably explained away by Rowling wanting to give automatic pity-points to them, much like she says Harry was abused as a kid without that ever really coming up or informing his "character".

What differentiates a poor family and a rich family in the magic world?
Can't you magically spawn food and clothes and shit?

Dullest...

That's illegal, because otherwise their gold would be useless.

I thought Ginny was supposed to be hot? Why did they cast a decent looking chick at best?

Did the live in The Country or the middle of fucking nowhere? Because The Country might be expensive but the middle of fucking nowhere is dirt cheap.

Dude, that's the best you can do?
There are so many logical errors in the movie it's astounding. Name any major or minor plot point and there's something wrong with it.

Of course you'd complain about this, being a fan of 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.

>decent looking chick at best

I'm trying to be nice.

>huge house in the country
magical mortgages don't exist? arthur weasley was a magical federal employee.

harry gets shitkicked by vernon as old as 15/16

there's an operating cost to magic. generating/transfigurating foodstuffs is presumably more taxing in the long term than simply using magic to push a broom around a warehouse for a few hours and using that money to buy lunch.

I came here looking for this post.

weak intro
1/10

Wizards have fucking teleportation magic, chimneys and those things where they touch it
Location is literally irrelevant

Her face is busted.
Then again she's a ginger bong, so you can't expect much.

Weasley's poor is literally "whoaa we don't have a personal slave elf and can't afford to buy the newest shit for all kids so they have to settle for hand me downs and we actually have to do the housework ourselves, we're so pitiful"
It's not actual poverty, they have a nice house a big yard and enough to feed everybody and the kids can go to a prestigious school just like every other wizard

How's the feet?

Her preeteen was so much more fuckable. Fucking christ I wish I was ravenclaw and griffyndor official pusyslave

Also, they're a pureblood family
There's literally nothing holding the kids back from success
Some of the elder kids actually show this to be true

why didnt harry give them some of his jew gold?

>a jew ever sharing money

Nutritious food (energy) and precious metals are one of the few things you can't conjure in HP, which is why the Philosophers Stone was a big deal. That said, you can charm existing sources of food to make it grow larger like the pumpkins outside Hagrids hut so its not like it would be hard to feed yourself anyway.

I don't know why they live is a shitty, rambling shack when it would take a handful of Weaslys like 1 day to charm and transfigure wood and stone on their property into a proper house as big as they needed.

...

honestly, what does 'poor' even mean when you have magic. They don't have to live in a shithole, they could life rocks out of the ground and carve them up (or shit, just make them with magic) and build a fucking castle full of nice shit. Rowling is a hack and the films are worse.

well, I'm not disagreeing with you but a lot of people would say the same about us with out "advance technology", and they aren't completely wrong.

Being poor is more of a status thing the wizard community. Not having Gringotts account full of goblin-jew gold or political sway and a large estate.

Yes, be sure to come back to (((Gringotts)))

>weasley''s are economically poor
>scarcity exists in a society that has literal magic that allows them to bypass scarcity completely
They even have magic that lets them put entire zoos inside a single suitcase. The idea that anyone could still be poor is ridiculous.

Harry had a ton of gold. Why didn't he help Ron repair his broken wand?

What a bad friend.

Why does Ginny look like Ramsey Bolton in a wig?

>whoaa we don't have a personal slave elf
Nigger just give one a sock. Poor ass people under the stairs potter had a house elf.

>British standard of "success" is paying 3000 a month to live in a tiny apartment in the dirty city

not to mention labor must be a bitch since there's spells for simple things like washing dishes, so why would you ever pay someone to be a dishwasher in magic mcdonalds? oh wait, they don't because they have enslaved house elves to do all that shit for them. how are wizard kids fresh out of school supposed to get any low level job? it seems like the only thing you can be in the wizard world is a teacher, a shopkeeper or a magic policeman. no wonder herminone thinks school is so important, they'd be neets without good grades with this fucking economy.

>Can't you magically spawn food and clothes and shit?

No, magic cannot spawn raw materials out of nothing

A better question is why their house is so rundown and shitty when you can just build and organize shit using magic

Seems to me there are people paid to research magical shit, plenty of administrative work to do in their government. I assume there are a lot of magical trades where you would apprentice to a master before becoming a journeyman.

You're a real piece of shit if you think that picture is funny

Reminder that there's really like a handful of them anyway
Hogwarts is the only school in Britain and they get like what 500 students max every year

yes it can, it just has less substance than transfigured or charmed matter and eventually turns back to nothing. also conjuring something generic is simple, but anything specific is exceedingly difficult and quicker to dissipate.

Wew

Why were they poor though, isn't working at the ministry a high profile job in the wizarding world? I guess feeding a gozillion ginger twats is expensive

>tl;dr : no you can't

Also specifically you cannot conjure food of any kind.

>plenty of administrative work to do in their government
that's what ron's dad does and they're still poor as shit for some fucking reason.
>paid to research magical shit
one of the brothers researches dragons and again, still poor as shit.

Wizard society is a consumer based culture and highly dependent expertly crafted and charmed everything. Food and shelter needs are met, but those dragonhide gloves, magical ingredients, and flying brooms don't pay for themselves.
>tl;dr yes you can its just easier to magically alter real matter

>500 students
so theres like 5000 wizards in britain? No wonder the weasleys are poor as shit, the ministry probably employs half the population

Closer to 250-300 for the entire student body. Entirety of Great Britain averages 50 magical births per year.

christ I knew the magical population was small but that is just fucking tiny. That's like 250 magical births in the United States if we can assume the relative rate is the same and like 6,000 globally.

its why its completely infeasible for them to rule and why they have to stay hidden. No amount of magic can defeat muggle numbers like that.

the world magical population could all fit into the stadium at the quidditch world cup (and that almost happens each time)

Abused as a kid in exactly the same way a Roald Dahl character is.
Then goes off to a school exactly like in The Worst Witch.

I still can't quite believe the cheek of it.

meh/10 (still would of c)

>house elves are very expensive
>house elves who get fired want to work but no one wants to hire them

I agree,if you are old enough that your parents feel shame about you not having a job,then you should realize that Henry Porter is shit,and so are you. You are shit. And stupid alakazam make my life ideal as dictated by an old woman that writes shit but dictates my life is a dead end,but muh nostalgic feels make me aware.... Fuck you all Harry porntich is shit,just like the star wars prequals.
Don't respond,I don't want your shit opinions and I am closing this tab,you pussies.

>literally running away from an anonymous online conflict
Lmao

didn' they have tents that were the size of a mansion?

couldn't they literally create a giant castle of stone by just levitating them into place?

what are the limits on magic?

there was a spell that could create water and fire, you put those two together, you're in business.
