WHY H.P. IS BAD. SO, SO BAD.

«FANTASTIC BEASTS» AND HOW TO ABORT THEM.

THE FACT THAT IT BECAME A BLOCKBUSTER SERIES, IS THE MOST CYNICAL THING ANYONE WOULD EVER DO TO YOU. TIME TO MAKE IT ALL STOP. AND PUT AN END TO THIS.

J.K. ROWLING thought of Harry Potter in 1990 when she was 25.
Philosopher’s Stone came out in 1997 when she was 32.
SHE TOOK HER LAST MONEY AND INVESTED THEM IN MAKING A STORY FOR HER KIDS, FOR THEM TO LEARN ABOUT THE WORLD OF GROWN-UPS… TO BE READY TO LIVE IN A WORLD LIKE THIS ONE. WHERE MONEY DOESN’T EVEN BEGIN TO MAKE SENSE. IT IS TAILORED TO THE NEEDS OF OTHERS, A HUMAN DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO MANAGE IT. WHERE A KID IS RICH SIMPLY BECAUSE OF A STRIKE OF LUCK. THAT’S WHY IT’S CALLED FORTUNE.
WHERE ELITES OF “NOBLE HOUSES” RULE A SOCIETY OF ANCIENT POWER STRUCTURE.
WHERE THOSE WHO’D TEND TO THE NEEDS OF MINORITIES AND ARE MINORITIES THEMSELVES, ARE FROWNED UPON FOR NO CLEAR REASON.

THE FACT THAT IT BECAME A BLOCKBUSTER SERIES,
IS THE MOST CYNICAL THING ANYONE WOULD EVER DO TO YOU.

Do You Think Wizard Money Makes Sense?

Why did we ever choose gold to begin with? 

Well, besides being really pretty and sparkly the answer is science. Here’s the reasoning after you decide that your country needs something for currency. 
You need to decide what that currency will be and it should probably be naturally occurring, so no one can just go manufacture. 
It naturally occurring means it has to be an element and Obviously, you’d want it to be solid so that wipes out all of the gases and or liquids you don’t want it to be radioactive, reactive, or corrosive and you need it to be rare enough that it’s difficult to find but not so rare that it’s impossible to find. That narrows the entire periodic Table down to five elements: rhodium, palladium, silver, platinum, and gold. 
Of those 5 silver tarnishes easily, rhodium and palladium were only discovered in the 1800s, and Platinum’s melting point is so high that earlier generations could not have effectively Melted it down into actual currency, with leaves us with the winner, Gold.
