The reason in books: muggles will oppress or kill them, falls flat in the face of their overwhelming power. And the fact that they’ve never had much is an issue.
I don’t remember if it was a main book or one of those charity publications but she specifically decided to mention that witch burnings, when they caught a real witch, just resulted in the witch casting a spell that made fire tickle a bit.
Just because someone is unsuccessful in killing you doesn’t mean it’s okay that they continue to try though.
Those fuckers can duplicate food and never go hungry, but never share. They deserve to be burned.
can duplicate food and never go hungry
Technically, duplicating food is not that feasible. That was a plot point covered in the seventh book.
I didn’t really think they actually covered that plot point well.
The biggest problem iirc is a duplicated loaf of bread has the same expiration date as the original, so you can’t actually make bread last forever with duplication without it getting moldy. Preservation charms wear off the same as muggle preservatives do.
But I don’t see why dried or smoked food couldn’t be duplicated for months or years. The biggest threat would be scurvy at that point.
this but god instead of dumbledore
“You’re a Englishman Harry”
Missed opportunity for punchline.
Don’t they have russians and the french as well?
Have you seen Russian and French cultures lately?
Or historically?
