caspergers posted:If I was little person, idk if I'd be proud of people like Warwick Davis and Peter Dinklage or resentful toward them. Then again, it isn't necessarily their fault they get cast so much, that's the industry/executives. I just imagine there are plenty of talented little people in hollywood trying to make it. To be fair to Davis, he runs a talent agency for actors of unusual size, small and large. Being involved with Rowling is the shameful part.

Still think a re-cast of the golden trio every season or two would be the least damaging way to go about this show. By spreading the workload over time, no one particular kid will get a decade’s worth of obsessive fan discourse shoved in his or her face wherever they go.

Ehh, even then at least one “generation” of them would almost definitely get a disproportionate amount of backlash compared to the rest just due to the stuff from the later books that really didn’t age well, let alone any perceived lack of acting chops.

Blows my mind that Ron is known as the poor kid when he lives in what is clearly a £1 million+ house. Even in the 90s that country mansion wouldn't have been cheap

The Weasley’s would have money but it turns out Ron’s dad is getting fleeced by giving up all his money for minor muggle trinkets like fidget spinners.

The Weasleys lost all their fortunes in the South Sea Bubble, I'm afraid No, not THAT South Sea Bubble, I mean the Bloop. Arthur thought he was being smart by investing his funds into an "off-shore" bank based in Atlantis in the mid-90s, until Goblin Black Ops collapsed the magic barrier keeping the deep sea pressure from crushing the whole place like a beer can. Gringotts does not tolerate anyone breaking their monopoly on the Wizard financial system. Sadly, Atlantis was not FDIC insured, so he lost everything

Wizard society operates on malthusian logic. The Weasleys have lots of kids so they're poor. That's also why every other pureblood family has only one or two kids despite being all about magical eugenics.

I always thought it was bullshit that a sign of poverty in this world is a corned beef sandwich. That poo poo is nutritious af. "Anything off the trolley dears?" Ron starts choking on his tears and pulls out a filet mignon "No thanks, I'm all set"

We can't afford to give you any pocket money to buy food on the train. Here's a sandwich to tide you over until you get to the school where you'll be served opulent slave-prepared banquets every day from now on.

There must have been maybe four people there to see it.
