The reason I thought food was never an issue is because Hermione mentions in Deathly Hallows that while you cannot conjure food out of nowhere you can multiply it. So who's to say they cant just buy a single egg an multiply it. Same goes for things like Milk.

I suspect that Molly being a homemaker (I believe her skills at domestic magic are mentioned a few times) actually offset a considerable amount of financial need. Gardening, cooking from scratch, mending garments, furniture and household items would would be the sort of thing that a Malfoy would need to pay someone to do (or replace). It's entirely possible that if she had taken on a job somewhere, they would have been at a net loss financially, in addition to her seeing less of her family. So, they are likely cash poor, but resource rich. They're capable of meeting the majority of their needs at any given time, but when it comes to things that can only be brought in with cash, they struggle. I'm not sure about England, but this was more or less the financial situation for many people in the rural area that I grew up in, in North America only a few generations ago.

Depends where you are in England you live. Here in Britian its always been the South hogs the money (mainly London) & the further North you go the poorer it gets, because our goverment doesn't give a sh!t about the Midland or the North. Considering the Burrow is located in Devon (the South West of England, a coastal town in Plymouth. A famous holiday location for Brits to go for a few days off) the region is decently supported by our Goverment (not London levels, but still it gets a bit). Now that's not to say the Wizarding World is simiular or as well supported, but polictians are 99.99% the same wherever you go, so I suspect their quite simiular to the Muggle Goverment & they keep the money in & around them & the further away you go from them the poorer you are; But just speaking from the location they live they at least have at least a decent place to live.

To me, this is one things of that I found so interesting in the Harry Potter series. The Weasleys seem to value family more than money and that’s why the kids are raised so well and the family is so happy. Just because you have magic to help you, it doesn’t mean instant riches, instant knowledge, or instant easy lives. Having to work for what you want or need is fundamental to being human beings. Striving to achieve brings treasuring what you have or accomplish, in my view. “Give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day. TEACH a man to fish and he’ll eat for a lifetime.” There’s a reason why this is so true. The Weasley’s are top notch in my book! Well done, Ms. J. K. Rowling!

9:07 "The cold, snarky and miserable but rich Malfoy family" - Now this is a topic I'd love to see a video about: "Why did Lucius become a Deatheater?" Because really, the family isn't all that cold and miserable. By the end of the Deathly Hallows, they don't give a sh*t about Voldemort anymore. Narcissa lies straight to his face just for a chance to see her son again, and in the final battle, both Narcissa and Lucius don't even pretend to fight for Voldemort, but rather frantically search for Draco. They had realized that Voldemort had ruined their otherwise happy family and just wanted all the suffering to go away. Which brings me back to the initial question: Why did Lucius join him in the first place? Sure, Voldemort's pure blood views pretty much alligned with Lucius', and Bellatrix might also have a certain influence over her sister. But why get into the inner circle? They were already rich and well respected before, and they would have had nothing to fear from Voldemort, if they just kept being "silent supporters" of his course. So why become a Deatheater? What did Lucius hope to gain? Wealth, glory, prestige? He already had all these things.

The only reason to that they are kind of poor is because of its one income on seven kids. Remember. Bill and Charlie is pretty close to Percy in age.

It never pays to try to be too logical when you're dealing with a fictional setting. The author wanted her readers to see the Weasleys as poor but happy and the Malfoys as wealthy and snobby and vindictive. I always told myself that the reason that the Weasleys house looked so shabby was to keep nosy muggles from paying too much attention and the inside was much larger than the outside by using magic, just like they did when they pitched a tent which was gigantic inside. I couldn't understand why Ron was given a shabby hand me down robe to go to the ball, when the Weasleys could have transformed it into a nicer one with magic, using transfiguration or whatever. In any case, I do enjoy your videos, which give us a lot to think about!

I am pretty sure that what makes the Weasley's able to keep food on the table is in part due to the fact that they appear to have a substantial garden, a fairly large amount of farmland surrounding their house, and some livestock on hand at their home. So having animals on hand for food certainly helps with providing food for the large family, and given that most of the children don't live at home everyday and merely come home for holidays certainly helps.

Let us never forget that for all his complaints Ron has his own chess set and is able to feed his chocolate frog card collection while complaining about yet another Dumbledor card and jealously staring at the extremely rare Agrippa card Harry got. For all that Ron complains of poverty he does it while mentioning Percy getting a new owl as a reward for making Prefect. I have to assume that a reasonable quality owl with the breeding and the enchantments is at least as expensive as a new wand 7-9 galleons and the Weasleys squeezed that together while dealing with 4 kids in Hogwarts and one new set of everything between the twins for their class books. They would have only gotten word about Percy being prefect in the month before school so they squeezed out an extra 7-9 galleons for that owl across two pay periods at most unless they did it by tapping into their emergency stash.

It’s been made a point that love is more valuable than anything else. Based on this, the Weasleys are among the richest families in the world. Financially, let’s say an income of 20-30k is poverty. A position like Arthur’s is probably worth 80-120k in our money. Minister of magic is the equivalent of a president, which gets paid a few million a year. Arthur by himself would be a well off upper middle class member of society. With a wife and 7 children, 100k is enough to live on without to many worries in the sense that needs are met. However, new robes every year and other expenses, let alone luxuries, are out of the question when an older brothers robes will fit just fine. I’d imagine that the stress of money is a thing of the past for them now. The older brothers work as dragon tamers and curse breakers. Percy I believe still works for the ministry. The twin’s shop is doing well, Ron is an Auror and his wife, Hermione, is minister of magic. Ginny was on a professional team and her husband, Harry, is head of magical law enforcement. With that many kids all having highly successful jobs along with their respective spouses, I’d like to imagine that they are contributing to a very comfortable retirement for Arthur and Molly.

I think it was mentioned in Book 6, where Dumbledore tells the boy Tom Riddle (who is concerned about how he will buy the things he needs for school when he is an orphan and has no money) that the trustees of Hogwarts have a fund available for students who need financial help and this will pay for what he needs. If the Weasleys were *that* poor, then this fund would have to purchase some of their supplies too but there's no indication that this happened. Ron breaks his wand just before classes start in Book 2 and goes the whole school year with a broken wand. Apparently no one of the teachers steps up and either replaces the wand (Professor McGonagall buys Harry a super fast broom for him to play Quidditch in Book 1 when Harry presumably couldn't purchase it) or repairs it (Harry uses Dumbledore's Elder Wand to repair his broken Holly wand before he discards the Elder Wand as just a source of trouble.)

Point of Order: The Malfoys may have been on the wrong side, but there's no question that they were a loving family. Draco was willing to commit murder and other felonies to protect his parents from Voldemort's wrath, Narcissa was willing to flat out lie to Voldemort because Harry told her that Draco was safe, and both parents charged into a battle without a wand to find their son. They had money, but they also have love. Also, are we going to ignore the fact that *Ron* was the one who started the confrontation on the train by sniggering at Draco's name, and Draco was just responding in kind? I've also encountered a fan theory that Arthur Weasley was under the Imperius Curse during the First Wizarding War, and that's one reason the Weasleys so resented the fact that Lucius Malfoy "claimed" to be under the Imperius Curse, and so escaped Azkaban. From that I've developed the headcanon that Arthur Weasley suffered some kind of neurological damage from being imperiused into doing things that violated his moral code. This impaired his executive functions to some degree, resulting in impulse purchases toward his hobby of collecting Muggle artifacts, and poor financial planning like an expensive vacation instead of tucking his lottery winnings into his bank vault. Molly knows this, but she doesn't want to wound her husband's pride by pointing out his poor decision-making, or taking a job to help finances because that's taboo for someone of their socioeconomic rank in the Wizarding World. So she struggles to hide their actual financial straits from Arthur to keep him from feeling bad about his disability. This would make the Weasley children particularly resentful at being twitted on their poverty by a Malfoy, because Lucius claimed Imperius Curse as an excuse after Voldemort's downfall while showing no signs of any mental impairment afterward. It would explain a lot, that's all I'm saying.

Money never made sense in a world where you can conjure your basic needs + luxury wants. The only market I can really think of is school/spell knowledge and magical artifacts.

What drives me crazy is that they act like the Weasleys are as destitute caring for two children as they are caring for seven. When we meet Ron, Bill and Charlie have already moved out. Percy moves out a couple of years later. Then Fred and George moved out. Seven kids went down to two. I grew up in a low-income family and when my older sister moved out, things got a little easier for my parents. When I moved out, things got a little easier, still. They were able to give my younger sister more than they could me or my older sister because they weren't paying for THREE kids, just one. The Weasleys are Rowling's token "poors".

Hogwarts students get home-schooled until they're old enough to actually attend as First Years. So it makes sense for parents in the wizarding world to have a lot more on their plate. Magnify that by the amount of Weasley children and it makes sense that Molly didn't work at the Ministry when we meet the Weasleys at the beginning of the series. Also, their trip to Egypt happened only one year after Ginny started at Hogwarts, meaning the Weasleys would have good reason to believe their income would increase without Molly being required at home anywhere near as much, since Ginny was the last Weasley child to enrol. I imagine she might have tried to find work at that point, but given Fudge and the Malfoys had it out for the Weasleys, it makes sense that she would struggle. And then not even two years later Voldemort returned and both Arthur and Molly joined the order of the Phoenix, likely taking up whatever was left of their free time.

I think that the emphasis on how worn out their hand-me-down clothes are and how rickety their house is, in both the Malfoys' mocking words and Harry's view, is primarily meant to convey how insignificant possessions and appearances are to their happy, warm, loving, welcoming and generous family, who gives more importance to being together (big meals) and meaningful experiences (the trip to Egypt with Bill) in contrast with the Malfoys and the Dursleys who put great emphasis on things looking good and polished. My idea is that conjured or multiplied objects and materials are not a valid and consistent solution because they are not fully equal to the real thing. For example you can multiply food (like Harry does in Half-blood prince just to keep Hagrid and Slughorn drinking together), but you cannot constantly and mostly live on it because it doesn't hold proper nutritional values, or the building materials you could conjure for upgrading the house would be dangerously unstable, or even gradually disappear in a matter of days. This would make a lot of sense in this magical universe to me.

Btw, Lupin's case is like he was a werewolf, so it was difficult for him to find a stable job, one where he could work using magic. Being poor in the wizarding world is very understandable. Because Lupin also was probably very shy and reserved to even ask for money to anyone of his acquaintances. And i supose, magic relies on laws of physics so there's only that many times a garment could be fixed by reparo. What should be concerning is how none of his friends and peers ever presented him with a few sickles or new robes/clothes, or a bag with an undetectable charm of extension filled with food. That says more about his fellow wizards than the inability to conjure food.

For Lupin case, if he destroys the robe in werewolf form, the robe will be cursed he cannot fix it with Repairo. Yup, he has to sew that robe by himself. For Ron, his family is not in extreme poverty. He just hates that he has to reuse things that his brothers use. Magic allows you to have basic necessities for free, so you will always have food and clothes available. Thats why Ron acts like a spoiled kid in book 7.

The Weasleys do have two other potential sources of income that should perhaps be mentioned. As early as the first book, both Bill and Charlie have left and are employed. While it always possible that they were unpaid, or were paid in kind, it is also possible that they were paid wages, and were able to contribute some of their wages to the upkeep of their family. Dragon-taming would presumably be paid at least as well as the more dangerous kinds of animal husbandry in the Muggle world.

The difference between Lupin and the Weasleys is rather obvious...Lupin is presumably homeless. He gets by sure, but he does not have steady work or find it easy to get a job while he is a registered werewolf. That leads to a few key differences. One, he has no home therefore no garden. He cannot make his own food, he does not have chickens for meat and eggs, he does not have the means to grow his own vegetables which the Weasleys had in abundance given their large family meals while Harry was there. Secondly, wizards can replicate food if they have some. They cannot conjure it out of thin air, but they can summon it or procure it if needed. I assume Lupin who tended to stay on the fringes of society often got by fishing with his wand. He may have not always been near fresh water and likely had many moments when he needed to steal food. It was never said if he ate animals since werewolves are often implied to hunt humans either to turn or kill. But let's assume Lupin hunted animals if possible. Still Lupin's case of poverty is not so different than a homeless person's. When he got to Hogwarts of course he improved some but it was still rough for him.

So while I agree on some points I believe one reason the Weasleys were never starved for food was because they grew their own food which was heavily implied in the series. Also just because they were poor doesn’t mean they couldn’t treat themselves to a vacation, poor people deserve nice things too. Also in the 90s as well as today in some places it is cheaper to be a stay at home mom than going to work. I believe they lived in poverty but poverty by UK standards which is different than poverty in places like the USA.

I find that they possibly used up a lot of money for the first few children. Remember the amount or Ron's siblings in Quidich? They have brooms that actually allow them get some wins... That's expensive. Also, the two oldest having the best chances in life so it means they most likely got better books, or at least Bill got, while middle child Percy just copied his brothers books. We don't know all the standards, but they are a poor family who constantly eats meat in a world without many general grocers that are cheap... How... I think that it's the little things. Though obviously this is represented in Ron, his eating too fast, his being jealous of stuff.. They got smarter with spending by the third child. They needed more help though. I do think that the Weasleys had some kind of debt. It would be also interesting if there would be an monetary loss by the more amount of children one has that is so potent that it might be another reason we don't really see that many "modern" wizarding families being as plentiful as the Weasleys, though I admit that might be just because the only Harry view thing. I do wonder if Lucius Malfoy ever actually had something done to him by Mr Weasley because the level of hatred. Did Mr Weasley "accidentally" kill someone, accidentally make someone break their engagement with the Malfoys, or something ? Someone younger than Mrs Weasley nee Prewatt. By the way their dislike goes on. Maybe Mr Weasley got into the dislike of Death Eaters by spoiling a plot, a minor one but one that angered Malfoy.

The reason why they have less money is purely because they are blood traitors, we see it with how even the ministry talks about them. Arthur is related to the black family, however him being into muggle items and being fascinated with them would’ve made him lose any of that inheritance since they are known to cut people off. Plus even though Arthur is really strong and reliable in the ministry, since he’s always called in when there’s an issue. He himself chooses to work in the misuse of muggle artefacts office, since that’s something that he cares about. However ever purebloods, and even the minister himself sees that job as a joke, even though it’s actually really important. So despite his talents Arthur gets paid less than he should, since no one takes that job seriously. They may be purebloods, but they weasleys are seen as lesser than by most purebloods because they are blood traitors. Deatheaters even say that they almost see blood traitors as the same as mudbloods. It seems more of a choice because Arthur can get a promotion, I think Ron even says so since despite Arthur’s proper job, he’s always one of the first people called when there are bigger issues and later on in the series he does get a promotion to a more dangerous job, despite being miserable. I think Arthur just doesn’t want to back down on the thought that the protection of muggles isn’t as important like other make it out to be.

The Malfoys in particular don't have any room to talk about wealth vs quality of life. The Malfoys had money but they also had stress, and expectations, a rigid lifestyle, and a very low tolerance for failure. So all in all The Malfoys, in spite of being richer, had a significantly lower quality of life than The Weasleys on their "Just enough to get by" budget. I'd also say The Weasleys were Lower Middle Class rather than actually poor like Remus was. So comparing their finances to Harry, who has inherited generational wealth built up over centuries, is a particularly unfair comparison. But a good contextual contrast for the narrative. This way you can actually compare Harry himself to both The Malfoys and The Weasleys. Harry has generational wealth like The Malfoys but a caring surrogate family through the Weasleys. And the difference between Harry's life vs Draco's throughout the series is obvious even at a glance.

But I can safely say, if Arthur can support a wife and 9 children on one salary, he's making bank. Once all those kids are grown he and his wife will be rolling in it. The Weasleys also strike me as the type of family to put money away for their childrens futures, so that might be another factor.

I think in the Weasley's we see the concept of cash poor, asset rich (or at least, asset sustainable). This is most common in agrarian societies and agricultural communities (and also seen in land-rich, cash-poor aristocratic families) where food resources are not quite an issue (indeed, it is this reason why socialist societies hate agrarian societies), but that most of the wealth is literally tied down in assets - so that, to access financial resources, there first had to be a sale of assets...which depends on the market situation at the time (and assets are finite and usually associated with long term income streams, so to sell now is to default later). The Weasley's really show how most small businesses and families who live on the land operate - while it may seem idyllic, there is usually more financial stress than elsewhere because the focus is not on finances itself, but on resources more broadly speaking. There is also the issue of debt to finance land management or land cultivation. To do either incurs a cost, and if finances become too low, debt is the way to cover the cost of the necessary resources to manage the land. I guess one of the best TV shows to demonstrate what I'm talking about is Monarch of the Glen, where a Scottish laird struggles to keep his estate afloat, even though he owns agricultural and forested land, and a literal castle. The concept of asset rich cash poor is actually very common, and not well appreciated by societies like modern western society, where cash (or financial) resources are, so to speak, everything. It also leads to tangible perception biases that create a lot of the city Vs country and class based rifts in modern western society.
