So what kind of weird flex was Harry pulling here?

It's zoomer speak for showing off.

No way, he was trying to show Ron that he was better than him.

Perhaps he took the lot in the vain hope of ending up in an episode of My 600lb Life rather than cast as the lead actor in one of the dullest franchises 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.

To assert ones dominance

If you know what "flex" normally means it should be pretty easy to figure out the zoomer definition in the context given in the OP

>that kid who was rich but generous with his fortune in school

Idk poor fags would frown down on those kids in school, like calling them papered or spoiled. Like whatever. I befriended a spoiled rich kid and all that resulted in was me hanging out at his place, his parents ordering us pizza every weekend and he had tons of video games to play. It was fun. People would talk about him behind his back and say he’s spoiled and shit but he was nice and I’m just thinking to myself like if I was loaded I’d treat my kids with fun toys too

Still dead

i havent seen this pasta in a while. thanks for posting

Literally this (checkin those quads, btw)

to flex one's muscles means to show off one's muscles. Therefore flex means show off. Is it really that difficult to understand you esl retard?

He saw Ron was bummed with his shitty food so he helped him out, that's how they became bros

Based

how come there were no scenes of them shitting themselves and teleporting it away

>pretending to be le behind the times for boomer credit
please don't lie on the internet user

There's alot of candy on that trolley. There's almost no way they could finish all of it. Plus Harry taking everything means that no one else on the train can buy anything. What a greedy piece of shit.

Have you fucking idiots thought for ONE SECOND that maybe "the lot" is like ordering a donut with "the works" i.e. ONE OF EVERYTHING? Not the "whole cart" but "a lot of it".

lmao S E E T H E harder you pathetic poorfag

lmao jfc user

based Quentin poster

The lot is an actual expression you retard. It means everything.

No he wasn't, he was showing Ron that he was better off than him by being magnanimous and spreading the food to him, despite Ron having sandwiches to last him. It's partly why the Sorting Hat wanted to put him in Slytherin.

How the fuck does it mean everything? Retard. It's an expression, it's not a fucking religion.

this, once malfoy informed harry on rons social status he had to humiliate him to make up for hanging around him

Flex has been slang for 10 years

He bought every single thing on the trolley. Which is a dick move.

Showing off his judaism to the poor goy.

The book explains that he just gets some of everything from the trolley

Makes sense, it's like being in a foreign country seeing sweets you've never seen before.
As a kid I'd just buy one of everything to try them out.
Now imagine they're magic sweets, pretty sure even the most sensible child would spend quite a lot on them.

>make Harry rich in book 1
>basically never brought up again

But why?

To explain how he could do whatever he wanted without being a mooch or have any consequences and to bully Ron into being his friend by humble bragging and showing his superior social class (thus making Ron more want to hang out with him). Harry didn't have any friends, so he needed to secure friends by various means.

flex means pretending to be a retarded boomer on the internet to get attention.

zoomer is being a 2010s kid, not 2000s kids

How did British people go from leaders of the entire Earth to some backwater shithole dystopia?

>Movie 1: Anything off the trolley, dears?
>Movie 4: AAAAAAANYTHING FROM THA TROLLEY?
Post other examples of this in franchises.

Rowling is making a reference to the Antichrist of the book of revelations 13:16

>The second beast was permitted to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship it to be killed. And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of its name

Ron, who is without the mark of the beast, is forced to decline making a pitch while Harry, who does have the mark on his forehead, is free to make a purchase.

Historically, some have interpreted the beast to be Nero and the number 666 to be a reference to Rome. The mark not being a physical manifestation on the body but a reflection of the fact that the head of the emperor was stamped on the coin and held in the hand. Futurist interpretations take it as a prophecy and predict that a global currency will be introduced and RFID chips will be placed in either the palms or foreheads of global citizens. Who knows

What should he have done differently?
