Are the weasley's actually kind of rich?

Hey brother!

Gosh, is there anything more heartbreaking than the scene

where Harry accompanies Mr. and Mrs. Weasley to their vault at Gringots?

There was a very small pile of silver

sickles inside and just one gold galleon. Mrs. Weasley fell right into the

corners before sweeping the whole lot into her bag. For a family with nine

people it's so hard to fathom even with Mrs. Weasley's comment.

This lot won't come cheap, ma'am. The spellbooks alone are very expensive.

We'll manage. But you can't help but wonder just a little bit like how?

Because it's clear that between Arthur working a lower paying job at the ministry,

the expense of sending kids off to school, and the very large nature of the family that their financial

position is always something that comes back up.

Ron himself is occasionally worn thin on this very thing.

I didn't know that leprechcon gold vanishes, Ron muttered.

I thought I was paying you back. You shouldn't have given me that chuddly cannon hat for Christmas.

Forget it, all right? said Harry.

Rollins feared a roast potato on the end of his fork glaring at it.

Then he said, I hate being poor.

But I think that the entire Harry Potter Saga is actually making a quiet commentary

on this particular subject, and the Weeslies are at the very heart of it.

They are quietly, extremely wealthy where it counts.
