In the books, the slaves set the meal on "dummy" tables and the food gets teleported to the true tables

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago

Why did they need slaves then? Couldn’t they just teleport it all in the first place?

No you see, its a sentient race that likes to be slaves so you need something to do for your slave race

To make the food in the first place. Magic cannot make or transform food. But you can move it with magic, store it in magic containers, or add magical properties to food.

Slight correction:

Food is the first of the five Principal Exceptions to Gamp’s Law of Elemental Transfigura[tion]... It’s impossible to make good food out of nothing! You can Summon it if you know where it is, you can transform it, you can increase the quantity if you’ve already got some..."

(Note, as a trans person I hate that I know this)

J.K. Rowling is such an arse that she willingly decided that food scarcity should still be a thing in her fictional magical universe.

She also decided that in her fictional magical world, magic would not be a rare occurrence, skill thing, or even a spiritual thing, but strictly racial.

Wizards are born from other wizards. Period. Even muggle-born wizards like Hermione are actually descendants of squibs (wizard-born wizards that have no magic abilities) who left the wizarding world and went on to live as muggles.

I learned that recently and I was so weirded out. Why would you have that? Is it just to crush the children's hope?

But there's a contradiction even in that bloody 'explanation.' What in the hell is transforming it but changing its properties? Uuugh.
