The Weasley Economics have been a pet peeve with me for a while. 
There is a longer post I wrote with the title Weasley Economics but I 
don't know the number. My problem is not with the day too day 
expenses. A private school that offers as much as Hogwarts, too me at 
least, must have a hefty tuition.

My problem is that as of book 6, the Weasley's will only have 2 minor 
children. The older brothers all have jobs. The fact that the 
Weasleys are poor always seemed to be because they had so many 
children. A government job should easily support 2 children though, 
so I will be rather annoyed if the Weasley's are still as poor in the 
next book. I also think Bill, CHarlie, and probly even Percy grew up 
for quite a while living in a financially comfortable family.
