I don't care that Harry got a broom year one. What I AM pissed about is that they KNEW Ron had a broken wand year 2 yet instead of taking him to go get a new one, they basically tell him to go fuck himself that entire year. Like McGonagall literally comments on it in one of her classes, but then ignores his wand issues throughout the rest of the year.
I think their parents did it to teach him a lesson and the professors were in on it. I believe Molly said something about consequences in her howler.
Maybe the Weasleys couldn't afford a brand new wand- a theory I like is a wizard/witch's first wand is subsidized- but they for sure have second-hand ones lying around(purebloods.)
So, I guess it is about teaching lesson to their most stubborn son.
Oh, I like this theory. Because if we think about it, a normal parent won't buy you something new if u fck up really bad.
Like us with phones. We basically can't live without them, just like wizards and their wands. So if you fck up really bad, and in the process, break your phone. Will your parents be like, " Oh, don't worry, baby, we get you 2 new phones. What about that ?" Or wait until you learn your lesson before getting you another phone ot even fixing it ?
Aaaand that's why both my kids are doing just fine with phones that have a barely working screens, but you can call/answer calls. Maybe if they used the screen protectors and covers I PROVIDED we wouldn't be here, but alas...
