>This was considered a wildly abusive UK living arrangement in 2001...
>>216920688They literally had a spare room.
>>216920688Emotional abuse is somewhat contextual. If their house was small and that was the only place they could fit him, it would be reasonable, but that's not the case. They have a large house and could have easily provided him with better conditions. It's clear in the stories that the Dursleys were intentionally trying to exclude Harry and do the absolute bare minimum to not face legal issues. They're not raping him or beating him, so it's definitely not the worst kind of abuse, or even particularly bad abuse. But it is still abuse and bad parenting. If a kid was raised this way they would definitely turn into a psychopath
>>216920736If they gave it to the orphan, where would Dudders keep all his toys?
>>216920784fuck you
>>216920688just needs a little work
>>216920688it would be 12 Pakis gangbanging Ginny nowadays and the bongs would support it
I always thought it was gay that muggle gadgets apparently don't work at hogwarts. I imagined enchanting my gameboy to have unlimited battery life. Not having vidya for the whole school year was a major turn off.
>>216920784The horcrux inside Harry probably caused the muggles to be deeply uncomfortable around him. Also the Dursleys were in an awkward position where they had to take care of a kid who wasn’t theirs and would never be like them.
>>216920983Why the fuck would you want to play with your Gameboy in Hogwarts if you could fly around with your Nimbus or discover hidden dungeons in the castle.
>>216920688In New York that would go for $750/month plus tip
>>216920784>so it's definitely not the worst kind of abuse, or even particularly bad abuseAll abuse is bad, anon.
>>216920983Imagine having magic and shit and you still just sit alone in your room playing video games all day.
>>216920688that's what you get for a grand a month in London, excluding utility bills and council tax
>>216921039Same reason why people would rather stay inside on a computer instead of exploring the world, mental illness
>>216921039Did you not play pokemon or zelda as a kid? That shit is real magic.
>>216920688Checked.Also why does harry looks like he lifts?
>>216920983Why the fuck would you want to play with your Gameboy in Hogwarts if you could be using Polyjuice potion with your friends to take turns changing into hot girls and fucking each other senseless?
>>216920970RENT FUCKING FREEENTFUCKINGFREE
>>216920983The canon explanation is magic causes electricity to short circuit. So if a wizard gets emotional around electronics, they could turn your phone battery into a bomb.
>>216921144I did, but I was also poor and was moving a lot, so no large social circle. I used games as escapism from a shitty childhood.All I'm saying is if you had a real magic world to explore why spend time with games. Seems like a waste.
>>216921105>abuse is... le bad
>>216921170Madame Pomfrey doing overtime snd giving out so many abortion potions.
How does this shit with the Dursleys even work? Does Harry have official documents of any kind, like a birth certificate?And what about normal school? Dunno about the UK, but in most places school is compulsory, so why aren't child protection services grilling their ass when he is off to magic land?
>>216921023Petunia was shown to be a cunt since she was a little girl thoughbiet.
>>216921039>>216921132>>216921170>>216921291We already live in a world of magic and wonder. Doesn't mean video games aren't fun. You sound like a bunch of tryhards.
>>216920688Literally every Indian family living in the UK:
>>216921405They sent him to a ghetto school with the kids from Shameless
>>216921405The prime minister of the UK is aware of and in contact with the magic society so that stuff is definitely handled.
>>216921291Everything gets boring eventually, even magic would become lame and mundane at some point
It looks cozy. No place to study but sleeping would be neat.Only a woman would fear the room that cannot be decorated with cheap chinese crap
>>216922469you wouldn't be able to sleep with your fatass uncle and cousin waddling up and down the stairs all day
>>216920688Let me guess, you need more?
>>216920688This now costs $ 600 a month and the house is filled with 40 jeets in bunk beds
>>216921039>if you could fly around with your NimbusThat was a super expensive broom that almost no one had. Most students probably don't even have their own brooms, and I don't think they're allowed to freely fly around Hogwarts anyway.
