How come the fact that Harry is literally a millionare never seems to get brought up much?

Harry didn't want to buy his friends. He's very noble in that regard.

Why doesn't Harry invest the money and try to squeeze Voldemort out financially?

what did JK Rowling mean by this?

How would he feel superior to Ron otherwise? Especially when Emma is much better looking than Ginny.

>yer a financial wizard, Harry

This, it was all a power play. Also pretty sure Harry has a cuck fetish. I know I do.

The stupid thing is where that money comes from. Apparently harry's dad was old money, but in that case he'd own properties and businesses... not just a bunch of gold sitting underground.

This is a setting where gold can be doubled infinitely. Why even use gold as currency? Hell, the magical economy is pretty much post-scarcity. Why bother working?

Custom tailored suits for elves is easy to come by.

He was in hiding for most of his life though, maybe he made sure to liquidate?
She retconned that by book 6, magic cannot create food or matter, just transform some of it, and the goblins are experts at counterfeit.

she meant that she is a disgusting anti-semite racist

Goblins? I thought they were elves.

this
poor people are poor because they deserve to

harry is gary stu, he dindu need high tier wizard assassins, he himself is top tier wizard from ancient royal magic family

what's the inflation rate in the wizard world?

>Ron's family wins a ton of gold in book 3
>blows it all on a trip to Egypt

They deserve their poorfaggotry

That appears to be gold? So it would be immune to inflation mostly

poorfags gonna poor

Elves are enslaved maids but not the sexy kind

>it would be immune to inflation mostly

They're jews.

how is gold even used as currency in a society where everyone skilled enough can just magic things into existence?

Not sure what you're implying, but it does deflate relative to the dollar, it was about $1100 an ounce not long ago.

Unlimited subsidies to candy trolleys.

That's because it's not a currency anymore.

Why do the weasleys have an oven?

Bad writing

>Also he marries ginny so they get some cash too.
are you saying the Weasleys sold Ginny to Harry? is that legal in Britland?

He might also be referring to the fact that things called gold mines exist.

>are you saying the Weasleys sold Ginny to Harry? is that legal in Britland?

What are you talking about? Dowries are very common in Muslim countries.

and what's the inflation due to mining of gold?

>In the course of my life I have very often been a prophet, and have usually been ridiculed for it. During the time of my struggle for power it was in the first instance only the goblin race that received my prophecies with laughter when I said that I would one day take over the leadership of the State, and with it that of the whole nation, and that I would then among other things settle the goblin problem. Their laughter was uproarious, but I think that for some time now they have been laughing on the other side of their face. Today I will once more be a prophet: if the international goblin financiers in and outside Europe should succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war, then the result will not be the goblinization of the earth, and thus the victory of goblin-kind, but the annihilation of the goblin race in the wizarding world!
How did Rowling get away with it?

why would you bother going to a school of you were rich? what is even the point of wizarding school again? what is bought and sold in the wizard economy?

>And why doesn't he give some of that fortune to Ron's familiy who live in poverty?

Probably because he is aware of how absurd is that somebody can be poor while having magic, and reached the conclusion that the Weasleys live like that because they want to.

>Ron's family wins a ton of gold in book 3
>blows it all on a trip to Egypt

Which is pretty retarded. I mean, the prize was 700 *gold* coins, but somehow JK Rowling established that the exchange rate of each coin was 5 british pounds.

Inflation existed long before the widespread use of fiat money. Just because wizards use gold currency doesn't mean they are safe from inflation.

So, why a family of 7 magic users don't just magic up a manor or a castle? It probably could be built in an afternoon.

There are literally only 3 career paths

>bureaucrat
>shopkeeper
>teacher

Bravo, Rowling.

The Gariest of Stus

he takes the lot

why did they have tents that are huge inside but not houses

Ask Harry's aunt from book 3 haha

Why won't they teach basic math, english, science at that school? Even in a magical world, math and language stays the same and is very useful for a 8yo boy to desenvolve his mind

>forgetting harrys future job
>auror
I know Rowling is lazy but that doesnt mean you have to be lazier.

based and true

only for wizards and muslims.

He actually hated Ron, and most of the non-Voldemort things he did through the series we’re about flexing in front of Ron, to show him who’s boss.

their taxes would just go up

gold value drops for wizards because they can just make it from cheap ingredients

Aurors only go after wanted criminals so most of the time he'll be sitting on his ass and doing paperwork anyway.

>work for the state
>self-employed
>academia
Seems to me it's a perfect society with no corporations obstructing the free market and a fair tax to ensure the strength of the community as a whole.

So five careers:
>magic bureaucrat
>magic teacher
>magic shopkeeper
>magic cop
>magic terrorist

Shopkeeper is the same as craftsman and trader. What other career do you want? Prostitutes? Janitors?

Gold is still highly valuable or muggles, so what stopped them from just selling a few coins for several thousand dollars, and enjoy a leisure vacation in a 5 star hotel?

Except that the state routinely interferes with the latter two without repercussion and throws any dissidents into soul sucker jail.

>polyjuice prostitutes

Imagine the possibilities

Well yeah but that's presented as a bad thing that happened because the government wouldnt trust the Noble Sage, Dumbledore. It's a perfect society but it can still break.

>janitors
Only squibs do that kind of shit, like Filch.

the fact that the state has such overreaching powers is a critical flaw of the system itself. Wizards aren't immune to being power-hungry sociopaths, or taking bribes from the aristocracy.

Arthur isnt a corrupt faggot. If someone else had done that it'd literally be Arthrs job to put that economy crashing bastard behind bars.

Its harrys fucking property and those muggle loving weasleys have no right to it

if harry decided to get rid of it by throwing it inside dumbledores gaping asshole of requirement then thats his fucking business

Their house is fucking huge mate its just ugly

Are you okay user

Its not better irl
>Muggle ass cleaner
>Muggle paper pusher
>Muggle gun totter
>Muggle blue collar slave
>Muggle code monkey

Using magical spells would make custodial work a fucking breeze

those goalposts look heavy

>selling the property your son legally earned makes you a "economy crashing bastard"

What?

>the fact that the state has such overreaching powers is a critical flaw
Lmao maybe if you're a burger. England was a much better country before the corporations got to do whatever they wanted. Cleaner air, fewer niggers, fewer Irish and all you had to do was bow to nobles and say "God Save the King!"
A strong state is a feature not a bug.

i don't get it. men have the stereotype for abandoning families, single dads being championed is an example of what a rare situation that is

filch does it for free

Did the books ever address the fact that harry's dad just casually gave him one of the three deathly hallows, to which ron replied with "wow that's an invisibily cloak, way cool!"

>She retconned that by book 6, magic cannot create food or matter, just transform some of it, and the goblins are experts at counterfeit.

The fuck? There are spells to literally make furniture out of nothing

deh

>all you had to do was bow to nobles and say "God Save the King
sounds nightmarish

Selling wizarding money to muggles on your own rates is illegal. Money isnt property, its currency. Same reason you cant burn money.

>He does give his winnings to the twins to start their shop though
only because he (rightfully) thought it was blood money and wanted to do something less wasteful than tossing it out the window to get rid of it

He's not a millionaire. It's said in one of the books that he has enough to last him through high school and for a few years afterward before he got a job, since it wasn't actually invested in anything and he didn't accrue any interest. It's like having a trust fund that isn't making any interest on it, and he's a long way from actual wealth. Buying a single Firebolt broomstick in book 3 would have bankrupted him, but Sirius Black was able to purchase one instead and still have shitloads of money left over to be added to Harry's accounts in book 6 because old noble pure bloods, it's not until then that Harry actually starts being worth something.

The Weasleys are also poor money-wise, but they have a lot of land holdings and it's mentioned Arthur could get a much better job if he wants, he just refuses to. Remember as well that they never have trouble putting food on the table or supporting a family with eight kids and no magic-government support.

And yet no trannies no niggers and no mudslimes. If you want to look at a real nightmare just open your eyes.

Real profiteers would be the Muggle-born wizards. Use magic to make counterfeits, invest it in normal world, then convert money to real wizard currency.

No, there are spells to teleport furniture around or to turn solid objects into furniture.

Yes it was adressed in book 7. Potters are Peverell blood.

The growth of the money supply of gold is tied to how quickly people can mine it. Given population growth, actually using gold would tend to be deflationary; icreasing money demand outpacing the increased supply. So hoarding gold would slowly increase it's worth.

by principle I could never bow to someone just because they were born to wealthier parents. It sickens me on a fundamental level. Besides, I have a few nigger friends, and dont know any trannies or mudslimes so things aint so bad.

>Muggle-born wizards

What would happend if such a person would refuse the offer to go to wizard school?

>Britain
>no niggers, no trannies, no mudslimes
Sounds like you need to open a history book. Your country has always been just as shit as the rest of the world
