Witchcraft shop refuses to serve Harry Potter fans - Polidicks

[quote]A shop which makes magic wands for real life witches and wizards has been blasted by Harry Potter fans for refusing to serve them. The business, called Mystical Moments, is making a name for itself in the wizarding world by supplying wands to cast healing spells and charms for good luck.[/quote] [quote]"I can tell what people are like when they walk in by their aura." He would also spot dark wizards and witches the same way and will not sell wands to those wanting to hex other people or perform curses.[/quote] [url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/08/07/witchcraft-shop-refuses-to-serve-harry-potter-fans-because-it-se/]Source[/url] I strongly suggest you read the rest of the article because this guy's quotes are hilarious.

witchraft shop wont sell shit to wizards and witches not that they exist, but who the fuck would buy shit from it if not mentally ill people who believe they're wizards and/or witches

I wonder if the color of my aura is blue to him if I walk in his store.

Lmao real life witches and wizards

Anti-Muggle discrimination is what this shit is.

Everyone knows Harry Potter fans are not real wizards or witches.

I mean if you want to make 95% less money go ahead its your choice.

Lol, they can tell that a potential customer is a fucking casual by their aura.

I understand where this guy is coming from. He genuinely believes his weird chakra stones and shit work (that's the placebo effect to you) and doesn't want to sell it to people not taking it seriously. But man it's just not a healthy business move. :v:

Yeah, there is a subset of pagans who practice what they view as "actual" witchcraft, so I imagine they view those inspired by Harry Potter as taking their faith in vain or some shit. I dunno, makes about as much sense as most religion.

When the first Harry Potter movie came out, various """""real""""" witches actually complained about the wrong use of broomsticks during flying scenes. According to them, the correct way is to have the bristles pointing forward instead of backward. In response to this disrespect, they've cast a curse on Warner Brother Studios to make the movies unsuccessful. And we all know how that worked out. People are funny

People are weird

He better watch out for people with red auras because they are invading dark spirits.

Heh, I guess thats why we don't see many witches flying around. The concept of drag and aerodynamics probably doesn't comes in their manuals.

Some of my relatives and acquaintances use wands, but most don't and the ones that do make them themselves.

You know this is bullshit because real wizards don't need wands.

Man, some of you guys need to loosen up and let people live how they wanna live :v:

I guess being a Harry Potter fan is a black mark on one's aura. When they have to go through the waiting period and background aura-check that's ground for automatic refusal.

[QUOTE]The wands can be used to draw protective circles to ward off dark forces while owners meditate, bring them money, and help them find love.[/QUOTE] I mean, you gotta spend money to make money right??? Also good luck finding love when you are sticking a fucking wand in peoples' faces.

[quote]"But I think this is terrible. Harry Potter fans should be served. They are going crazy over the Cursed Child and need their wands. It is discrimination against Potter fans. They should go to court for justice. "[/quote] Last I checked, it was legal to deny someone service period. It's not discrimination or even a business decision. He sells to those he feels will not squander the effort he puts forth, no matter what frankly ignorant views have been made in the thread. And if he was taken to court over this, the man would simply close up shop. This isn't racial discrimination, or discrimination against a certain group of individuals. He doesn't sell toys, but things he follows along his faith. He takes offense at those purchasing things from his religion to be misused. I see no difference between a church not wanting to offer up bibles that would be used as kindling. It just bewilders me that so many are speaking ill of a man whom follows his faith, when they're the same individuals whom would scream heresy if someone began burning bibles or trampling on the Quran. It isn't about 'rational' thinking, but about faith and religious freedom. Paganism is as valid a faith as Christianity or Islam.

first black people, then gays, and now wizards when will the hate end

[quote]... This unlocks the power of the wand to the new owner who feels the energy flowing from the enchanted wood into their hands...[/quote] Heh Childish humor aside, this guy is clearly too deep into his passions to make any actual money. But hey, his business, his rules, I guess.

[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;50850302]I mean, you gotta spend money to make money right??? Also good luck finding love when you are sticking a fucking wand in peoples' faces.[/QUOTE] [quote]Former textile worker Mr Carter, opened the shop in April with partner and fellow spiritualist Jackie Restall, 43. He claims he does not make a penny out the wands, costing £15 to £25, which he uses to spread the spiritual message.[/quote] He's already found love and he isn't looking to make money. It's almost as if you people don't read the article. He is doing this to help further his "spiritual message". Having a bunch of teenagers running around waving their wands around yelling "AVADA KEDAVRA" isn't in his interests. His decision to not sell to people purely interested because of Harry Potter makes sense and I don't entirely blame him for it. The woman in the article calling him snobbish because of his choice to not sell to them kind of ironically makes her look snobbish for having complete disregard for his faith.

You seem to be taking this as some kind of negative judgement, but it's not, just a statement that it isn't different to any other form of religion.

but can you lift feathers with those wands?

Honestly i'd fucking love to buy a wand with a whole ritual like that just for experience. Now theme it like Harry Potter where you try on different wands and bam, i'd pay 30 euro for that.
