10 Worst Things Harry Potter Has Ever Done

7. He Bought The Entire Snacks Trolley

Look, nobody is going to stand here and say that Harry flashing his newly-gotten riches on the Hogwarts Express and buying Ron lots of treats wasn't a boss move guaranteed to make him a best friend for life (particularly as the best way to Ron's heart is through his belly), but it's remarkably short-sighted.

Harry and Ron could have gorged themselves on a few chocolate frogs, a pumpkin pasty or two each, several packets of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, a few Cauldron Cakes, some Drooble's Best Blowing Gum, lots of Jelly Slugs and Liquorice wands. Harry could have spent a fair bit on getting them enough to feel thoroughly sick and CRUCIALLY, he could have left some for the rest of the students on the train to eat. But no.

Instead, Harry thinks not of any other children and insists on "taking the lot" in a fit of blinkered selfishness we would come to expect from his time at Hogwarts.
