Also a page or two back the thread was just talking about how Rowling sees sales as vindication of her views, and swears she won't ever, ever shut up while people are buying her books

"Not secretly infused" So just the blatant stuff, then. No subtext.

Gandalf probably has a trading card like Merlin or all the other mythical wizard figures that are apparently completely real in the HP universe

RubiconCrosser posted:If we ignore manufacturing concerns, which wizards obviously don't have, gold coins are a better system of currency than paper money. Sure, they weigh more, but they're less perishable and easier to quantify in large numbers. Counterfeiting would be an issue, but these are wizards, they can counterfeit anything I'm not even sure it'd count as counterfeit. A coin made of solid gold 'the size of a hubcap' is going to have intrinsic worth, even if it's not legal tender

I don't know where Terry Pratchett was sitting financially at the time of his death - Rowling knocked him off the number one spot as bestselling living UK author a few years before - but he's at least proof it's possible to become rich writing, without being an enormous rear end in a top hat to everyone

According to Robert Rankin, naming any of your inventions the '<something> 3000' is best, because if you look at it sideways, it's a butt pooping

BigglesSWE posted:I think Rowling herself has noted she’s terrible with numbers and it certainly shows in stuff like that, where, in the moment, you won’t think about it, but once you start to pull at the fabric of the world it quickly falls apart. It's fun how this contrasts with Tolkien, who'd spend months agonizing over which phase the moon was in in any particular part of Lord of the Rings, and how far the characters could walk in a day

There's the other side of a house system at boarding schools to consider; if you LOST your house points by loving up, you could expect to be woken up and beaten by the others in the dorm room that night

stev posted:Wizards legally come of age at 17 for some loving reason though. Being able to drive a car happens age 17 (or at least did at the time of the books, no idea now). I always assumed the apportation exams were riffing on a driver's test. That's the only legal change at 17 I know of, but it's a significant enough one that it could drift into the books
