This idea was incredibly embarrassing to him since Ron vehemently did not want to be cared for by his rich and famous best friend. This is precisely why Harry never tried to give the Weasleys money or give Ron lavish gifts - they didn't want pity.
Published Mar 27, 2023 Despite his wealth, Harry Potter never offered to help the Weasley family with their financial struggles.
No, because he knew they wouldn't accept it. And that was not solely due to pride. The Weasleys might be poor but they never went hungry and could always get what they 'needed' even if it was second hand or homemade. They would always support each other and there was always a home to come to.
Answer (1 of 2): Yes. They became wealthy when Fred and George settled down. Weasley's Wizards Wheezes was a huge hit in Diagon Alley. People would buy things from far off, thanks to the excellent delivery system.
Right off the bat, Molly Weasley (Julie Walters) put her arm around Harry in a caring gesture when he asked if they could show him how to get onto platform 9 3/4, not hesitating to help him. Over the years, Molly became a motherly figure to Harry, there for him whenever he needed as if he were one of her sons.
Lucius disdained the Weasley family for its poverty and so-called blood traitor status; while the Malfoys prized their pure-blood heritage, the Weasleys accepted Muggles and Muggle-borns.
the malfoys hate the weasleys for two reasons : 1) their profound support for dumbledore order of the phoenix &and they were against dark lord ! 2) they unlike the malfoys were open to muggles being in the wizarding world ,they hated the fact that weasleys were friendly , supportive and loved the muggles .
The Weasleys were known in the wizarding world for being of lower economic status, something the Malfoys loved to remind them of. On the other hand, Harry had inherited a small fortune from his father, who had been the heir to the wealthy Potter family.
It was these "medicinal services," including "Skele-gro" and "Pepper Potion," that were the beginnings of the Potter family fortune.
One of the wealthiest Wizarding families in Britain, the Malfoys were known for their connections to other pureblood families and their covert influence over the magical government. In contrast to the Weasleys, the Malfoys were traditionally sorted into Slytherin and supported pureblood supremacy.
Catchpole is in Devon, the Weasley's are not nearly as poor as they seem. However, the reason they have money problems is because: Molly Weasley doesn't have a job. They had more children than they could have reasonably afforded.
NeokratosRed used their majorly impressive mathematical skills to calculate that there's a minimum of 50,625 galleons in Harry's vault. Since we know one galleon is equal to around $25, the minimum amount of money in Harry's vault is a mind-blowing $1,265,625!
The Weasleys are not especially poor. It's just that Arthur works at a comparatively low paying job at the Ministry, and has a huge family to feed. Molly is a housewife and does not add to the income. As to how poor they are, well, they are helped by not having to feed their children throughout the year.
Harry's Triwizard Tournament prize winnings of 1,000 gold galleons would total $25,000.
“Harry didn't like to think how much gold the Firebolt would cost. He had never wanted anything as much in his whole life — but he had never lost a Quidditch match on his Nimbus Two Thousand, and what was the point in emptying his Gringotts vault for the Firebolt, when he had a very good broom already?”
In the summer of 1993, Arthur Weasley won the Galleon draw, and received a prize of seven-hundred Galleons. He and his wife spent most of the gold on a month long summer holiday to Egypt to visit their son Bill, who worked there for Gringotts Wizarding Bank as a Curse-Breaker.
Harry is the richest student at Hogwarts by default. He inherited his parents money (and later the Black fortune) - and it was his and his alone. If he wanted to empty his vault and spend it all on sweets, and Quidditch brooms - he could. There was nobody to stop him.
It's debatable whether the Malfoy family fortune is greater than the combined Potter and Black family fortune, but it's safe to say Harry individually has a greater amount of money than Draco.
Although Harry is rich, with his net worth coming to around 2.6 million dollars in muggle money, it is nothing compared to the enormous amount of 1.6 billion dollars that make up Draco's net worth.
The Weasleys are poor because of having 7 children. Until Bill and Charlie started working, the Weasley family had one earning member to take care of the household expenses, education and upbringing of 9 family members.
David Tennant – US$7 million
in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), but David Tennant surely earned a handsome pay cheque as the tenth incarnation of Doctor Who.
Voldemort had waged psychological warfare on the Malfoys, and knowing that he held total power over them- he fully took advantage of his situation. He wielded his power to the point that they no longer wanted to follow him- but they were in too deep.
Specifically, Draco was jealous of Harry. It was easy to miss because Draco didn't often show his emotions, modelling himself on his cold, confident, calculating father, but J.K. Rowling has confirmed that a lot of his enmity towards Harry stemmed from envy.
Despite being a valued Death Eater in the days before Voldemort fell following his attack on baby Harry, Lucius stumbled out of favor with the Dark Lord when he squandered Riddle's diary (secretly a horcrux) in Chamber of Secrets and failed to obtain the prophecy in Order of the Phoenix.
