from all the characters etc of the books and movies i really hated the weasleys. they just seemed lazy and unclean. their house was a mess and they must have been hoarders. also how the fuck are you poor if you have magical powers? I am aware there may be certain rules of the magical world etc and you can't just conjure gold or whatever - it is even mentioned in the first or second book - but you must be really fucking stupid to live in poverty when you are that gifted. Sell shit to muggels, have multiple muggel businesses etc. Muggel Bratwurst probably tastes the same as your magical Bratwurst so make some muggel money with your magic advantage for fuck's sake. Also to be that poor and have that many children is just irresponsible and no wonders that they live like rats. there has to be heavy mental illness in that dirty family and the fact that they are presented as jolly and somehow on the good side is wrong. i was suspicious of them since the very beginning
You leave my selfish, villainous, skrunkly Slytherin bastard alone! he was a terribly good man.
That list didn't mention the reason he hated James, Remus and Sirius and why their interactions were always tense. Dumbledore did the very same thing they're accusing Snape of with house points, he attacked remis because he had no way of knowing if he wouldn't hurt his students as much as he dislikes them that was still lily's son.
I will defend Snape, he was a fantastic character.
Hogwarts Tournament of Houses is some primo shit, the contestants were handpicked and they're hilariously self-demonstrating for the sorts of people that identify with what houses:
David from Hufflepuff was a true Ringer.
Dumbledore did the very same thing they're accusing Snape of with house points
It's been a while since I read as far as I did into the books before stopping, but not too long ago I did a binge of the movies.
I had a similar feeling, but over the ending of the first film. They outright award Slitherin victory over that, even laying out banners as if it were the case, just to switch it out for Gryffindor ones like snatching it out of a child's hands to give to a different one.
you could not interact or sell magical items to muggles?
Pretty sure they can interact as long as they don't reveal their secret, but the selling part's weirder apparently.
I did a reddit search on this and it looks like there's been some expanded lore over this kind of thing. From the topic 'Why don't wizards sell potions to muggles?':

Muggles can’t make potions. So wizards and witches would need to make all these potions. It would break the International Statute of Secrecy if the Muggles unnecessarily found out about magic. Besides, Hagrid told Harry that wizards and witches are “better left alone.” Being isolated from the Muggles is simpler than Muggles wanting magical solutions to everything (even if the Muggles didn’t know the potions were magical).
It’s a tough decision. One of Harry’s ancestors used magic to help Muggles. He would cure the Muggles of diseases. https://www.wizardingworld.com/writing-by-jk-rowling/the-potter-family
Draco’s ancestors used to be allied with wealthy Muggles. https://www.wizardingworld.com/writing-by-jk-rowling/the-malfoy-family
The two also use different currency, so there'd need to be a means of conversion between Galleons and Gold. At that point you might need to secure some sort of fence, someone who trades between both worlds, which sounds potentially criminal and/or niche. Even the scale of Galleons is apparently comically large:
In the books, they are rarely particularly described beyond their metal, however there are several references to wizarding money and Muggle money appearing quite differently. Ron Weasley was struck by the seven sided shape of a Muggle 50 pence coin. A Muggle man described Galleons that a wizard had given him as "great gold coins the size of hubcaps". While he was almost certainly exaggerating, it does indicate that Galleons are significantly larger than standard Muggle coinage. Knuts were described as being tiny.
The topic 'The ENTIRE wizarding world would collapse overnight without Hermione Granger.' has some interesting points about the ramifications of the setting, too.
