So what the fuck happened to all of Harry's money...

I guess keeping Harry a Billionaire wasn't particularly interesting...

He invested all in bitcoins

Man, Harry Potter really was poorly written in many regards. People are still surprised at just how dumb J.K is somehow.

>going to a private school is free

Thank fucking Christ I never watched these shitty movies or read those retarded books.

Fpbp

When his mom killed Voldemort (which is what people think happened) all the bounties and rewards for him the death eaters got sent and held in trust in gringots as well as the fact that his dad was already royalty and rich this made Harry a billionaire.

Why did it get dropped in later books? For the same reason time-travel got dropped. Rowling was not smart enough to write around it. So it was much easier for her to ignore it.

Yang gang inflation

The real question is how did his parents, mom being disowned by her family and dad's family never mentioned, accumulate so much money in under 10 years of working but the Weasleys live in a shack and struggle? Especially if they really spent as much time with the order as is implied. Also, why is Lupus so poor that he had to take a teaching job?

(((goblins)))

Power play. He was establishing to Ron right of the bat that he was the alpha and Ron was his roadie. Then he gets mogged by Draco and reacts the way a typical new-money fag would react: by being a rude prick and not accepting Dracos handshake.

he gave it all to a quidtwitch thot

Jesus christ faggot, his dad was a rich kid that's why he was a cunt and his mom wanted his dick

>he thinks rowling wrote any book after chamber of secrets
Maybe consulted, possibly helped outline, but she was not involved with putting words on paper

Unfortunately he didn't have enough gold to buy himself out of 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.

I've heard this theory thrown around a lot. I never read the books. Does the writing really change that drastically?

Then where are these wealthy Potters? Too busy ruining the Bailey Brothers building and loan?

Real authors don't write cringey chapters where the MC goes on a shopping spree for MacGuffins. Literally what would you have him do with his gold that's relevant to the plot?

>people keep suggesting that atlas shrugged is top tier
>1984 and animal farm mid tier
>ulysses mid tier
>no pride and prejudice

The people making those images are pretentious idiots. Atlas shrugged is dune tier

>It's a "20,000+ words spent on Harry's shopping trip" fic

>His mom killed Voldemort
What

At what point did Harry need money for the plot to move forward?
>1st book, Hogwarts allowance to buy things

Harry doesn't need to buy anything to defeat voldeysnort.

The character himself is awful, he lacks personality and his motivations are pretty much all motivated by Voldemort's impending rise to power. That's probably why Prisoner of Azkaban is the best, it's just Harry seeking out Sirius on his own volition to understand his parent's deaths instead of doing X to defeat Voldemort over and over again.

Waste of dubs

He didn't NEED money, they could've said he was on scholarship, but hack writer wanted a reason for him to go to vault 713

Dubs of Truth

You just know that Hermione got fucking SOAKED when he whipped out that fat wad, looks like Harry cast betalia cuckus on Ron's tiny Irish dick lmao

I know you love reaching to try and make fun of JK but this is just embarrassing. Why would his parents be destitute?

>At some point between 1979 and 1980, James' parents died of Dragon Pox, and he inherited the vast Potter family fortune from them, which enabled him to comfortably support his family without the need for a paying job
Vernon was right, he was a lazy piece of shit

Ulysses fucking sucks.

what a terrible adult child thread

pride and predjudice was just proto genre fiction
you can't refute this and objectively would be classified in the low tier at best

probably confiscated by the bank because he stole one of their fucking dragons

Sauron's tax policies took all of it away.

based. Fuck Joyce

He’s not reaching at all. Why wasn’t he made destitute like Ron? The only thing used in conjunction with his riches is for reasons to go to the vault and buying shit that never helped defeat Voldemort

Because they bought a house at the age of 20 and had a child. I'm not say had no savings, but anything they had would've disappeared paying for their houses and funerals.

Also, dick move making the Dursleys pay for 11 years of raising Harry and not paying them a pence. And don't give me the "wizard money" excuse, there's got to be someone willing to exchange even for a shitty rate

>shit fanfic mind

Remember when the crazy lady somehow gets to the Weasley's goofy shoe-lookin' house and burns it down and chases everybody into the woods and then the next scene happens and the house is back and nobody remembers the scene or its purpose, which was nonexistent and contradictory.
What well made films.

>He
(You)

>Why wasn’t he made destitute like Ron?
The Weasleys are poor because they're raising seven children on a low-level ministry employee's salary

>It's a "David Yates tries to salvage a decent movie out of the trainwreck that is HP6" kino

What did she mean by this?

True, reminder that the old lady was a trolley witch with the power to regenerate the food on the trolley. So when Harry said he'd buy the lot, he was subsequently bound by his word to indefinitely purchase all her merchandise as it regenerated, causing his savings to rapidly dwindle to the point of extinction.

after 2 it did change dramatically. there's just no way the books that came after had the same author.

porn loicense is expensive as fuck

Wait, hold on a second I thought you were joking for a second but then I actually remembered that scene existed and confused the fuck out of me when I saw it years ago.
Mind you I still haven't rewatched the movie. Still, that is a scene that in fact occurred for some reason and was promptly forgotten by pretty much everyone.

The public has no idea a magic shield made out of his moms's love made a killing curse bounce back and kill Voldemort. They think Harry's parents defended him and killed Voldy to save Harry as they were killed.
