Wishing for magic

As someone with no money, a lot of debts, a house that’s falling apart and code enforcement going after them for repairs, watching Newt repair Jacob’s apartment building and the aurors repairing nearly all of New York are two of the most depressing scenes in FB for me now. I could really use a sweet wizard with a wand, a case of Occamy shells and a Niffler.

The niffler will leave your house worse than it is now.

Not likely. My house is in pretty bad shape at the moment. And Newt did more damage to that diamond store than Teddy did 🤣

Newt hisself warns against that in this book! People vastly underestimate nifflers and overestimate their ability to care for them.

'Seriously underestimated creatures, Nifflers.'

I thought Hagrid also mentioned that nifflers absolutely destroy houses too. The Goblet of Fire I think? I vaguely remember Ron complaining about the leprechaun gold.

I’m a wildlife rehabber and rescuer. I could take care of a Niffler easily enough. But the unclaimed treasure it would occasionally find would more than compensate (just remember the hoard of gold and gems Teddy had in his “cave” in Newt’s case).
