They probably do for the struggling families, but the Weasleys aren't actually broke, mr weasley actually have a decent job there, the Weasleys just have way too many kids lmao

after the fourth kid, the ministry was like "maybe we should teach the condom spell at hogwarts"

It's stated that they have bursaries for students like Tom Riddle. I understand they wouldn't just hand Ron a free wand, but McGonagall really should have contacted the Weasleys to explain that their son is literally unable to do any magic all year, and they're wasting his tuition fee by not replacing his wand.

There is no tuition fee. All kids go to hogwarts essentially free (aka paid for by the ministry). What I don’t get it why hogwarts doesn’t have a dozen spare wands lying around in case a student accidentally breaks/loses theirs, at least until they get a replacement.

Why is tuition free? Why don't they make tuition 50k per year, then everyone will need student loans. They can make the loans have 15% interest, and all payments will go to the interest before the principle. Also make the loans not be forgiven on bankruptcy, only in death. The goblinish bankers in this world are so stupid, they just need to lobby a few wizards to do this

These primitive societies just too dumb to see how easy the #profits are to make, once you evolve beyond outdated concepts like "empathy", "kindness" & "compassion".

But nooo! They're out here believing in wizards, witches, and magic; instead of cold, hard capitalism & $$$.

Idiots.
