Honestly, Hermione saying that they "can't make food" is quite a lot of bullshite. Not only is it possible, but there is an entire course dedicated to it: transfiguration. They turn things into animals in that class all the damn time. Why couldn't they transfigure an inanimate object into a chicken?


b/c that isnt how the spell works

just b/c you have magic doesnt mean you can do whatever the hell you want.

I dont see why the money thing is so odd to people. Its very clear throughout the books and movies that wizards dont all have the same powers. Its one of the main reasons Hogwarts separates students into different houses. Certain students excel at some things while being poor at or unable to do others.

Hell, Seamus can barely pull off a spell w/o it blowing up in his face. The Weasley twins kick so much arse at prank spells they are able to have a successful business out of it.

I think its pretty normal that wizards who rock at certain spells would want to be compensated for doing them for others.

Okay this I see but really wouldn't that almost make needing money a negative thing in the wizarding world? If you are talented enough you don't need money because you can create and manipulate things on your own
