I actually think that Harry's having lots of money served two purposes. 1. Convenient plot device. JK didn't want to have to worry about how Harry would get what he needed for school, etc. She had enough to juggle already, in his story. And 2. Contrast with Ron and the Weasleys. Ron wanted to be able to have new things and hated being poor. Harry's financial wealth makes the point that Ron didn't know how rich he was, to have a large and loving family, which is the thing Harry wanted the most. Remember that on their 17th birthdays Ron got a new watch from the Weasleys, as his family knew his greatest wish was to have something new and of his own, while Harry got an old watch that had been in the family for generations, as what meant most to him was being part of a family.
@Manpigeon4 жыл бұрын
I dont think it wouldve even mattered if he didnt have much money. Harry Potter was the most famous name in the wizarding world. Getting a "scholarship", loan, or even a gofundme wouldve been easy for Harry. I honestly dont believe money would ever be a problem for him even without family wealth. It wouldnt surprise me if Harry was originally poor before the first book was taken to professional editors. It wouldve just been a lot of unnecessary pages dedicated to explaining his finances that would be kind of boring and irrelevant to your average kid/teenage audience.

Even if they use some for occasional vacations & such, Ginny & Harry's pasts have taught them what's important so they won't be wasteful & they will teach their kids to be the same. It's going to take many generations to use up all that money, & in the meantime one of Harry's descendants may create another potion or an invention of some kind that then lets them start a very successful business of their own. After all they have Potter, Peverell, & Weasley ancestors. Lots of potential!

I mean, potions make no sense given his natural talents. I feel like that is something she would not have missed if she planned for the family to have made their money that way. I feel like she came back to answer that question, and since she liked Lockheart, she decided to give Harry a similar background with the hair care potions.

Harry was also humble about his wealth. In the second book he felt bad that he had so much and the Weasley’s had so little. When he went to gringots he tried to hide how much he had, knowing much of the money for his school. that and the Weasley’s wouldn’t have taken any if offered because they wouldn’t want to be a burden to him, but he was generous and didn’t boast about it either.

When I took an economics class, we were told that one ounce of gold was enough to buy a well made suit, costing £250! A house would cost back in the day about 20 ounces of gold or £5,000. In my lifetime, gold prices have quadrupled in value while clothing prices have relatively stayed the same and housing prices have increased a 100 fold! This means that an ounce of gold is now worth four suits while a house is £500,000! It was said that Harry was left over 720,000 gold talers! This does make him a billionaire. But here's the thing with precious metals, their value goes up and never looses its value. This means it takes fewer talers to pay for things. Therefore, Harry will always be rich while people around him will be poor! This is why our economic system is messed up! Why? People are no longer paid in talers, but currency! This means in the current system you can amass a paper fortune, but not a gold fortune! Harry turned his gold to paper for the Wesleys or used his gold as a retainer! Harry's lucky the brothers were such good business partners! He could have lost 80 gold talers from 720,000!

From the vault alone, as it is shown in the first film when Harry enters the vault for the first time... the estimate is $1.265,265.00. This calculation and sum was taken from a Reddit thread where they used pix from every angle of the contents of the vault, added, and then calculated at today's values. Source: Andy Golder - Staff Writer for BuzzFeed and posted on BuzzFeed on February 6, 2016. NOTE: From the date of the film setting in 1991, that would be around $2,385,000 (+) today. --- I love your channel. Thank you for the AWESOME vids. Very interesting stuff.

NeoKratosRed on Reddit actually calculated the amount of galleons in Harry's vault, by using the shot of him opening it in the fist movie. By mathematically looking at the pile's volume, depth, height etc. He came out with the minimum number of Galleons contained in Harry’s vault being 45,000 + 875 + 4,750 which equals 50,625. galleons. By using J.K Rowling's exchange rate. At face value, Harry would be worth £253,125 (or $367,828) in 2001 Also Harry was left everything Sirius owned, including the insides of his personal vault, which was transferred to Harry's vault when he died.

Harry is part of the 1 percent. Gets massive fortune from parents, inherits the black estate, a house elf, buckbeak, grimmauld place, etc. Sirius was rich enough to buy a fire bolt as a birthday present for him. So he probably left money too. Damn potter won the genetic lottery.

I think it’s entirely possible that Harry Potter himself didn’t know about the fortune he inherited until Hagrid took him to gringotts. His parents may have intentionally not told the Dursleys or very many other people about the fortune they had massed so that only a few trusted people knew in order to keep others from getting their greedy hands on it

I think that Lily and James started banking money during the war just in case something bad happened, like their house being destroyed or if they died and Harry needed monetary help to survive. Of course both those things did happen. From what I remember in the books, everyone was afraid of an untimely death during Voldemort’s war. For example, Molly and Arthur married just as the war was getting started because they thought they were going to die young. That’s what Sirius made it sound like. Also, Harry’s ancestor made that wizard hair gel so that probably helped a bit.

I never really got the impression that he was "stinking rich", just rich for a kid because his parents died and he got their inheritance. And maybe a life insurance policy. Same if a middle class kid's parents died in the real world. I don't think I agree that he was super rich. Personally, I think you are contradicting the books.

I am curious how Molly felt when she entered his vault to withdraw some gold for him. It was kind of glossed over because she has been in it to get money to buy his school things when he was otherwise busy. Also, I am curious what Uncle Vernon would have done if he had found out about his fortune, I mean, does he have any say in his wealth being Harry's uncle? Now that I think about it, how does inheiritance work if a wizard dies and leaves their fortune to a muggle. Like, for half bloods, lets say a wizard marries a muggle woman and dies before they have a child, does she get the gold? Is it converted to muggle money and then given to her? I'm pretty sure if they had a child who was a wizard/witch, the fortune would go to them, but what if the child is non-magical?
