Cool!

who built their home on top of my house?
maninthedarkness
As a kid I imagined tents that were bigger on the inside. And this was without Doctor Who. A couple decades later comes Goblet of Fire >
maninthedarkness
> and the tent the Weasleys had at the World Quidditch Tournament. Brilliant, indeed.

Thought it was Finns treehouse. They need to do a live “Adventure Time” movie!

Are you related to the Weasley’s?

That fucking hovel is 5K Sqft with at least 6 acres. 5 bedrooms. A giant garden. In Nashville that’s 1.5M at least.

If I had magic, I’m pretty sure my house would look more like Hogwarts than this.

That's the Finch house.

Late night. Good shit to see whilst I'm fucked up! 4.32am here :) :P

Harry grew up with the Dursleys. He'd think anything short of a concentration camp was brilliant.
Hasinator
Not much? In Munich either 2000€ rent per month or buy for 2 million €

Except for needing material components for some things, I don’t understand how Potterverse wizards could be poor
LordAuditorVorkosigan
potterverse wizards are morons, is why
mrmayortheiv
Ron is such a loser
DeeDoubleYu
Lmao this is so real, why are you calling Ron a loser xD
mrmayortheiv
When did he ever contribute to anything in a positive way? Aside from simply having a family? And playing one chess game at 12 years old.
SwedishGuyYesIDoHaveLongBlondHairWhy
Movies did a character murder of him. Book Ron is good. In my opinion
mrmayortheiv
Eh, I think he's about the same in both.
SwedishGuyYesIDoHaveLongBlondHairWhy
I feel there's a big difference between "He's got a point, you know" and defending Hermione
TheRealAethrys
Ron exists to show what an average wizard looks like. Every other character is somehow exceptional but him.
healover
Great explanation!

Now they will always have extra rooms in their house

One of my favorite moments in the books. When Peeves salutes Fred and George as they fly off.
txcell
Yes! I was dissappointed Peeves never showed up in the movies.
fergie4000
They filmed Peeves scenes for the first movie but they got cut.
MrXistentialCrisis
Until that “we” turned into “I”. Never forget.

OtterlyMagnificent
My headcanon is that magic-twins actually DO share a brain, so only one of the bodies died and both Fred and George are in there together.
SchrodingersDictator
Iiiiiii... don’t know how I feel about that. I don’t like sharing my head.
OtterlyMagnificent
I've been doing it for 28 years (As of end of April). It's not terrible. Only has about a 10 mile range though...
SkinnerTBD
you have magic. magic up a better house.
JustAnotherLinkInTheChain
Solid point
shadefang
They magicked up what they needed, and what worked.
Delathi
Better? That house is awesome
RedClaws23
You have physics. Engineer a better house.
SkinnerTBD
notice how you didn't say physics a better house?
astrangehop
My physics doesn't break the laws of physics though):
RedClaws23
Nor does their magic break the laws of magic. But both sets of laws enable people to build houses on their own. Get to it
SkinnerTBD
here, let me learn the words to build a house... oh, I don't need the words if I'm good enough? I just need to wave my wand?
RedClaws23
You too could build a house starting with very little if you dedicated 1-2 years to learning how. Of course you'd have to buy the supplies a

BURN
VeryGoodChristianDefinitelyNotSatanMan
(The whole point of the Weasley's house was to convey that they cared about what was on the inside not on the outside)
thiaB
What, did JK Rowling share this in Pottermore after the fact?
HerrBisch
No I think it's just the meaning that they read into it.
FriendlyNeighborhoodGrammarPerson
How come they could magically enlarge the inside of vehicles and tents but not the rooms of their home?
VeryGoodChristianDefinitelyNotSatanMan
The rooms are decently sized, & it's implied they use magic to just tack more rooms on, & that magic is the only thing holding it together.
Hardcore04
To me, it seems like wizard's, especially poor ones, can't understand basic engineering concepts and are just like "fuck it, use magic"
CabNumber1729
"It looked like it was held up by magic, which harry reminded himself, it probably was. "

I will DEFINITELY enjoy this gift. Even though it seems to tentatively implies I am Satan. & I have explicitly stated I am DEFINITELY not.
ICheckUsernameAndSuch
Yeah, but that's exactly what Satan would say, y'know?
ArtOzz
They arent builders. They would need to pay someone who is very good at building magic to do it. With what money?
MatthewBecker
Knowing ron dad he built that house by hand the muggle way
Mercenarity
Arthur was into muggle stuff. Go visit a hardware store.
barnwolf
Not everyone is good at designing and constructing buildings. He could hire muggles, but not sure he could afford that.
xKaraKx
Its fucking magic...
LostCause97
They're not all good at every kind of magic. Some people are good at math, some are not. Same principle.
applemnki
Nono. It’s what they go to school for. To LEARN how to do it. Everyone has different proficiencies. No different than muggles.
ArtOzz
Which doesnt just fucking work. You never wave a wand and get something for nothing. Why bother with 7 years education if it was easy?
SkinnerTBD
so when harry turned Aunt Marge into a blimp? what did that cost him?
ArtOzz
An accident he couldn't do twice which was actually just an engorgement charm he didn't actually know at the time.
applemnki
xKaraKx
Seems like they do it literally all the time. You could use magic to cut the trees and build a house with joists
MementoMoriMotherFucker
IIRC, no material comes from nothing, thus the materials may have been a cost barrier. As for the idea of trading gold galleons, are the
MementoMoriMotherFucker
Galleons pure gold through and through? Are they gold plated? Some silver dollars have as low as 40% silver but we still call them "silver"
MementoMoriMotherFucker
Sure Harry thinks so, but this could be misconception on the part of a teenager in a new society.
amandajohnson78365
Nah, dude, I think they're solid gold--the goblins are weighing them in Gringotts!
Lashiel87
Weighing doesn't automatically mean pure as they could simply know the weight of the proper ratio and be checking for that
SkinnerTBD
currency exchange. galleons into anything else. they're gold.
ElbowDeepinaTinyOctopus
Like in HPMOR?
SkinnerTBD
not a clue.
ArtOzz
I'm sure theres a counter arguement here about inflation and supply and demand but it's like 4am right now so I'm saying plothole.
kutison
Why is Arthur poor when he's got a sweet sweet government job? Drinking problem perhaps?
