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


I think you hit the nail on the head when you said they were just as or maybe even more than us concerned with name brands. Just because you can make a broomstick fly and brew all the potions you want, doesn't mean you want to do it. Paying for the best of the best and competing with the Joneses translates to the wizarding world as well.

Yea I mean that makes the most sense, what doesn't make a lot of sense is that the Weasley's are holding their rickety house together with magic, why don't they just magic themselves a super nice house? I guess you would have to know architecture to do something like that, but I bet they could've got Dumbledore or somebody in the Order to do it for them

Can they? Different skills. They might not be able to make the proper potion or make a broomstick fly, and if they can it might not be safe or as good as if an expert had done the job.

I can make some decent bbq ribs, but if I want something really good, it might be best for the "expert" at the bbq restaurant to do it for me.
