Gringotts Wizarding Bank

Gringotts Wizarding Bank was the onlywizarding bank inGreat Britain, and was owned and operated bygoblins. It was founded by a goblin namedGringott in1474. Its main offices were located around theNorth Side ofDiagon Alley inLondon,England.

In addition to storing money and valuables forwizards and witches, one could go there to exchangeMuggle money forwizarding money, which appeared to not be very difficult, as shown whenHermione Granger's parents did so while paying for her school supplies. The currency exchanged byMuggles was later returned to circulation in theMuggle world by goblins.^[1]

Gringotts also served as a workplace for the production of a portion — if not all — of British wizarding coins. In the process, the coins were pressed using theGringotts Mints. The bank also had itsown bureau de change,^[2] issuedcheques^[3] andbank notes,^[4] had a specificform for client bank transactions,^[4] and its ownmail system.^[5] According toRubeus Hagrid, other thanHogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Gringotts was the safest place in the wizarding world.

Themotto of Gringotts Wizarding Bank wasFortius Quo Fidelius, aLatin phrase that meant "Strength through loyalty".^[6]

Location[]

Gringotts Wizarding Bank was located on the north side ofDiagon Alley. It was the side closest to theLeaky Cauldron and, thus, closest toCharing Cross Road andMuggleLondon. The bank was located nearPotage's Cauldron Shop,Flourish and Blotts, andFlorean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour.^[7]

History[]

Early history[]

The bank was created by thegoblinGringott^[8] in1474.^[9] The creation of Gringotts was considered to be linked to the14th Century Wizarding Economic Bubble, which happened the century before.^[10] It was established not long after theSoap Blizzard of 1378, a volatile event which burst the economic bubble.^[11]

The bank was put in the hands of theMinistry of Magic shortly thereafter, being under some degree ofwizarding management already by the1500s whenTertius applied for the job ofCurse-Breaker to two wizards who were discussing job vacancies at the door to Gringotts.^[12] In1865, the Ministry decided to put full control of Gringotts back ingoblin hands.^[13]

Shortly after it opened,Percival Rackham andCharles Rookwood commissionedvault twelve which they protected withancient magic. They left behind a path, including akey which served as aPortkey, which only those with the ability to detect ancient magic could follow. It was not opened for hundreds of years. In1890, the key was given toEleazar Fig and hisstudent which led tounidentified ruins where the student unlocked a private entrance to Gringotts. Thegoblin on the front desk was surprised and took them to vault twelve with instructions to lock them inside it. Through exploration, the student found aPensieve inside it.^[14]

19th century[]

Main article:Skirmish in Vault 12

On1 September1890,Eleazar Fig and hisstudent entered the mysteriousVault 12 at Gringotts, where they passed a trial set by theKeepers, and gained access to thememories ofPercival Rackham. As they came to terms with the power ofancient magic,Ranrok was assisted into Gringotts by aGringotts guard loyal to him. Ranrok, his supporter andBelgruff, another supporter of his, aimed to find the truth behind ancient magic to weaponise it for themselves (a key cause behindRanrok's goblin rebellion). Ranrok murdered agoblin banker who protested his entry, but both were then fought off by aPensieve Guardian.^[14]

Ranrok discovered they had opened the vault and entered it. He killed the goblin which let them in and demanded answers from Eleazar and the student. They engaged in a duel which destroyed the Pensieve and transformed it into a giant knight which protected them. In the process, Eleazar and the student escaped the vault and Gringotts.^[14] Though at least one goblin guard at the bank was a member of Ranrok's army, Gringotts as a whole was not sympathetic to his cause and this was only cemented by Ranrok's murder of a goblin banker during his break-in.^[14]

20th century[]

On29 November1926, Gringotts was put on lockdown withprotective enchantments cast.^[15]

1990–1991 break-in[]

Main article:Break-in of Gringotts Wizarding Bank (1990–1991)

During the1990–1991 school year, aDark wizard wearing a cap attempted to break into the vault of SirElric Parpidum.Alastor Moody sentseventh-year studentsMerula Snyde,Jacob's sibling andNymphadora Tonks to investigate the crime scene and take witness statements from those present, as part of theirAurorwork experience.Griphook refused to diverge what was in the vault, citing client confidentiality.^[16] The thief was revealed toEustace Burke, a formerHealer atSt Mungo's and an agent of 'R', who wished to stealChinese Fireball claws from there for aspecial potion for 'R', with Jacob's sibling reporting back the news back to Gringotts once he had been apprehended.^[17]

1991 break-in[]

Main article:Break-in of Gringotts Wizarding Bank (1991)

Thebreak-in of 1991 was committed byQuirinus Quirrell, who was attempting to steal an object fromVault 713. The vault, one of the higher-security ones, held a small grubby bag, inside of which was thePhilosopher's Stone.Albus Dumbledore sentRubeus Hagrid to retrieve it while the latter was escortingHarry Potter toDiagon Alley in order to buy his school supplies.^[18]

Later that very same day after Hagrid and Harry left the Alley, someone, apparently a very powerful wizard, broke into the vault. Although he was unsuccessful in obtaining the Philosopher's Stone, the break-in shocked the wizarding world because it was practically unheard of for Gringotts to be robbed.^[19] The culprit was not caught, though it was later learnedQuirinus Quirrell broke into the vault acting under orders fromLord Voldemort.^[20]

Second Wizarding War[]

Main article:Second Wizarding War

DuringLord Voldemort's control of the Ministry from1997 to1998, the bank was put yet again under the Ministry, whichplaced their own people in charge of the security at the institution.^[21]

1998 break-in[]

Main article:Break-in of Gringotts Wizarding Bank (1998)

Thebreak-in of 1998 was committed by Harry Potter,Hermione Granger, andRon Weasley. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were aided by a reluctantGriphook in exchange forGodric Gryffindor's sword. They broke into thevault ofBellatrix Lestrange, where one of Lord Voldemort'sHorcruxes (Helga Hufflepuff's cup) was hidden. They came to the conclusion that a break-in was necessary after Harry deduced the location of the Horcrux after theSkirmish at Malfoy Manor.

At the doors of the bank, two human guards had Probity Probes — devices that detected concealment charms. Harry quickly used aConfundus Charm on the two guards and Hermione passed by them unchecked. Once inside the bank they were in danger of being found out and Harry had to use theImperius Curse on a goblin and aDeath Eater named Travers in order for them to continue onward.

However, when they went into Bellatrix's vault, which was stocked with all manners of treasure, they found out that the treasure had theGemino andFlagrante charms placed on it, which meant that thieves would be burned by the objects, which also duplicated until the thief was crushed under the burning weight of the fake treasure. The Trio still managed to escape with the Horcrux by fleeing on ahalf-blind dragon that was part of the security for the vault, leaving parts of the bank in ruins. Upon learning of this, Voldemort slaughtered a large number of bank guards and clerks, including Griphook, effectively venting out his rage and eliminating witnesses.

After the war[]

Following the defeat ofLord Voldemort at theBattle of Hogwarts andKingsley Shacklebolt becoming actingMinister for Magic, the bank was presumably put back into goblin management. After their recent security breach and the escape of one of their dragons, however, Gringotts was quick to recondition their security measures. By31 July the same year, they had replaced thedragons andsecurity trolls that had previously guarded its high security vaults with anumber ofSphinxes.^[22]

The goblins did not notify their clients about the changes to the security measures, however, as one of them,Mallory Twiddle, would later send in a letter to theDaily Prophet complaining about how he had been surprised by the change and ultimately unable to access his vault because of the difficult riddles asked by the Sphinx guarding it and wished they went back to the old arrangement.^[22]

By8 February1999, Gringotts had gone back to using dragons, as the bank announced that there was now an opening as Dragon Feeder at Gringotts through anadvertisement in theDaily Prophet on said date.^[22]

21st century[]

During theCalamity that affected the wizarding world in the late2010s and early2020s, Gringotts, hoping to avert the potential economic disaster that the Calamity could cause, negotiated with aCalamity Investigator sent by theStatute of Secrecy Task Force on behalf of thewizarding community. As a result of these negotiations, Gringotts pledged to provide an unlimited line of credit to needy wizards during the Calamity, at a competitive rate of interest.^[23] Later, after an investigation began into a clandestine organisation known asthe Unforgivable, British wizards were able to capture a member of this cabal,Gareth Greengrass. After his arrest, Greengrass entered into a deal with Harry Potter, where he agreed to disclose the names of the various socialites who also doubled as members of the Unforgivable, in exchange for medical assistance for his daughter. One of the names which Greengrass exposed was that ofa Curse-Breaker at Gringotts.^[24]

Description[]

Gringotts was an imposing snow-white multistoried marble building located partway downDiagon Alley, near its intersection withKnockturn Alley, that towered over the neighbouring shops. It was the place where British witches and wizards stored their money and other valuables, in heavily guarded vaults miles below ground.

WhenHarry Potter first visited Gringotts, he was told byHagrid that one would have to be mad to try to rob Gringotts and that, apart fromHogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, it was the safest place for anything valuable to be kept. Goblins were extremely greedy and would protect their money and valuables at any cost, which made them ideal guardians for the valuables of the wizarding world. The goblins had a code that forbade them to speak of the bank's secrets, and would consider it "base treachery" to break any part of that code.

The centuries-old bank was run bygoblins, and they alone knew the secrets of the twisting underground passages and the enchantments and creatures in place to defend against intruders. There was a rumour thatCornelius Fudge was trying to take over Gringotts when he wasMinister for Magic; however, as it was published inThe Quibbler, it was likely unsubstantiated.

Entrance and main hall[]

From Diagon Alley, a set of white stairs led up to a set of burnished bronze doors. The doors were flanked by a goblin in a uniform of scarlet and gold, though during theSecond Wizarding War the goblin was replaced instead by twowizard guards withProbity Probes. This was the entrance to Gringotts, and it led into a small entrance hall and another set of doors. Engraved on these silver doors were the words:

Through these doors, also flanked with goblins, was a vast marble hall long counters stretching along its length with doors leading off to the vault passageways with around a hundred goblins sitting at them. The vaults extended for miles under the city and were accessible through rough stone, complex and interconnected passageways by means ofmagic carts that were operated by goblins.Dragons and other mysterious beasts lurked in the depths as additional security devices.

Private entrances to Gringotts could be arranged. They they were very uncommon. Those who had great wealth and/or power were the only ones capable of arranging it.^[14]

Gringotts vaults[]

In contrast to the grandmarble of the entryway and the main hall, the passageways to the vaults were stone and dimly lit with flaming torches. They sloped down to a track, upon which ran little carts controlled by thegoblins. These carts took visitors deep beneath the surface of the earth, through a "maze of twisting passages" to the vaults. The carts went very quickly, which made Hagrid a little queasy and prevented its occupants from getting a good look at their surroundings, and seemed to run on a vast, complex, interconnected series of tracks that allowed them to move to and between any vaults.

The vaults themselves varied in size and security. The largest, most well protected vaults belonged to the oldest and richest wizarding families and lay deepest beneath the surface. Those vaults closer to the surface seemed to be smaller and had fewer security precautions surrounding them — they used keys, for example, rather than requiring the touch of a goblin to gain access. The rules around who was allowed to access vaults seemed to change; sometimes wizards were asked for identification or a key to be allowed access, yet bothMolly Weasley andBill Weasley were able to get gold from Harry's vault for him.

It is possible there was a charm forcing the wizard to give the gold to its rightful owner. However, even this wouldn't explain howSirius Black was able to order a Firebolt in Harry's name, but take the gold from his own vault — despite being an escaped convict at the time. It also seemed that only blood relations could inherit a Gringotts vault;Albus Dumbledore implied strongly that when Sirius died as the last of the Black family line, his vault was cleaned out and its contents added to Harry's, rather than Harry inheriting the vault as well, though this could be excused as due to Harry already having a vault the bankers would not see fit to grant him an additional one.

It seemed that any vault belonging to a criminal would remain guarded and untouched, as when all theLestrange family were sentenced toAzkaban for life, their vault was not evicted, leaving it a safe-place forVoldemort'shorcrux, though it is possible that they had non-criminal relatives who could be in possession of the vault during their incarceration, but as Sirius Black was the last Black by name for at least some of his sentence and his vault remained without anything being confiscated, it would seem that Gringotts operated outside of wizard law, at the very least in rights of ownership towards their vaults and what was kept inside.

There are several vaults that were known specifically:

Security[]

Gringotts used a variety of security systems. Most lower security vaults, such asHarry Potter's, requireda key; higher security vaults required the touch of a certified Gringotts goblin. Higher security vaults might have various enchantments upon the doors. For example, the door toVault 713 needed to be stroked by a certified Gringotts goblin, which caused it to melt away. If anyone but a Gringotts goblin touched the door, the person would be sucked into the vault, which was checked for trapped thieves about once per decade. This, and the fact that visitors must travel in the mine carts to access the vaults, strongly suggests that there wereAnti-Apparition Charms around the bank.

At various points, the bank had useddragons,security trolls, andSphinxes to guard the highest security vaults, such as thevault of the Lestrange Family. Though affiliated with Gringotts, the dragons kept there were not actually "tamed" in the traditional way, in the sense that they were merely used to discourage intruders and unauthorised persons from approaching the vaults to which these beasts were stationed at. They were "conditioned" in an inhumane way that compelled them to retreat whenever they heard the sound produced byClankers, which only the goblins possessed.

The usage of Sphinxes was troublesome for some clients when they wished to make a withdrawal but were unable to answer the riddles that the Sphinxes gave as security questions. Another security measure was theThief's Downfall: a charmed waterfall that the goblin carts must pass through, it cancelled all enchantments and magical concealments and threw the carts off their tracks. Some vaults used the Gemino andFlagrante curses; when any item was touched by a thief, it multiplied rapidly and burned them, eventually crushing and scorching them to death. Objects within Gringotts couldn't be summoned. At times,Probity Probes were used on clients to detect enchantments, magical concealments, and hidden magical objects.

On his first visit to Gringotts, Harry was told byHagrid to be cautious. Goblins were extremely greedy and would protect their money and valuables at any cost, which made them ideal guardians for the valuables of the wizarding world. This became one of the primary reasons that Voldemort chose to hide one of his precious horcruxes in the deeper vaults of the bank, and he was explosively furious when it failed his expectations. Ironically, Harry later didrob Gringotts withHermione Granger andRon Weasley,^[21] the only known successful theft in the history of the bank, by taking advantage of aformer employee's knowledge of the inner workings of the bank. It is unknown if Harry was able to resume normal business with the bank following Voldemort's defeat.

During theSecond Wizarding War, security of the bank was further enforced, as it was taking normal clients around five hours to make withdraws.Probity Probes were a known security measure used during this time, which could be stuck up a certain part of their bodies. Only employees of the bank would be able to get money out of a vault for a client much faster, as Bill Weasley did for Harry Potter.

Employment[]

While Gringotts was largely staffed by goblins, includingGriphook,Bogrod, andRagnok, it is known that the bank did employ humans: Gringotts actively advertised career employment to Hogwarts students at least forCurse-Breakers, and might likely also do so to otherwizarding schools elsewhere.Bill Weasley worked as a Curse-Breaker for Gringotts inEgypt, retrieving artefacts from ancient Egyptian tombs and pyramids after his graduation fromHogwarts.

When Bill wanted to do work for the Order of the Phoenix, he transferred to a desk job in England to be near home. That same year,Fleur Delacour took a job at Gringotts as well after participating in theTriwizard Tournament, to improve her English, though she only worked part-time. They also employed Dragon Feeders, a job with a high mortality rate, at an equally high salary of 7Galleons per week.

At least during Harry Potter's break-in of the bank, there seemed to be a full-time security force that was comprised ofwizard guards, who rushed to the scene when the Lestrange vault was broken into. Despite this, Griphook mentioned at that time that the goblins resented "wand-bearer" interference in their internal affairs.

Competition[]

Gringotts had no known competition in the wizarding banking industry, and was almost surely a monopoly in Britain.Rubeus Hagrid said it was the only wizard bank,^[18] but it isn't clear if he meant inBritain, or in thewizarding world as a whole. It is known, however, that the bank at least had dealings inEgypt, whereBill Weasley worked as aCurse-Breaker as of1993.^[32]

Given that the bank was the only wizarding bank in Great Britain, it stands to reason that the goblins would have a tremendous amount of power over the wizarding economy, as goblins were also the force behind minting the BritishWizarding currency,Galleons,Sickles, andKnuts.^[33] If they were active around the world, this might be true for other nations as well.

It is likely therefore, as goblins tended to be at odds with wizards on political and social levels, that theMinistry of Magic had laws set in place to stop Gringotts intentionally regulating the wizarding economy, likely through theGoblin Liaison Office.

Etymology[]

Gringotts may be derived from the word "ingots", which means a mass of metal cast in a convenient form for shaping, remelting, or refining. Also "Gringo" is an informal slang used by Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries to describe merchants of foreign nationalities, or really anyone who is foreign and (apparently) rich, a fitting term if one considers it refers to a bank run by the Goblins.

Behind the scenes[]

• In thefilm adaptation ofHarry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the interior of the Australia House in London was used for the Gringotts grand entrance hall. For the second part of thefilm adaptation ofHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, a set was built atLeavesden as the scenes involving the dragon would have been impossible to film on location. The set was based on, but not an exact replica, of the Australia House interior (differences include the pattern of the marble floor, the design of the chandeliers, and the studio set has windows).
• Themarble tile on the floor was created using a centuries-old process employed in making covers and for hand-printed books. Different-coloured oil paints are poured onto the surface of a large tray filled with water. The paint floats and is swirled around with a stick. When paper sheets are places on the surface, they pick up the swirls of oil paint. Lifted and turned over, they look exactly like veined marble. The illusion is made complete with brushwork that adds further layer of textural detail to produce a convincing replica of a marble floor. This process was also used to create the marble floor of thecourtroom at theheadquarters of the Ministry of Magic.
• InHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, the escape on the dragon clearly shows Whitehall across the Thames, placing Gringotts and therefore Diagon Alley itself around Southwark.
• According to thefilm adaptations of the series,Harry Potter's vault is number687.
• In a recent humorousPottermore feature about the thefilm adaptation ofHarry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Gringotts is referred to as "Where the cleaners have been on holiday since 1894."^[34]
• Death EaterTravers must have a vault in Gringotts, as he was holding a key while entering the bank when he encounteredHermione Granger disguised asBellatrix Lestrange before she, Harry, and Ron robbed the bank.^[21]
• Gringotts appears to serve the wizarding world in the same way the US Federal Reserve stabilises the economy in the United States (as similar institutions exist in other economically stable countries). It independently maintains the balance of the British wizarding economy, disallowing individual wizards, witches or groups to manipulate national financial matters for personal gain. This would also explain part of the goblins' resistance toward wizarding domination over the operation of Gringotts during the Second Wizarding War, that such interference by the Death Eater-controlled Ministry of Magic threatened the very economic stability of the wizarding community they were charged with protecting. Evidence that this may be the case appears in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, where Bogrod is seen examiningleprechaun gold in disgust. Not only is such gold worthless, to allow it to continue to circulate would generate inflation, which in uncontrolled amounts can be dangerous. Fortunately, leprechaun gold disappears fairly quickly, minimising the problem.
• According to W.O.M.B.A.T tests, Gringotts may be the oldest building in Diagon Alley and the other shops grew up around it.
• If you look closely on the 422nd Quidditch World Cup Programme, you will see that Gringotts sponsors the 422nd Quidditch World Cup.
• Thepoem that reads at the entrance of Gringotts may have been inspired by the poem at the entrance ofHell in Dante'sThe Divine Comedy.
• According to an article inThe Quibbler, then-Minister for MagicCornelius Fudge wished to conquer Gringotts, and had goblins killed in ludicrous ways such as drowning them, dropping them off buildings, poisoning them, and cooking them in pies, earning him the epithet "Goblin-Crusher." However, as The Quibbler is a tabloid magazine, this theory is debatable and most likely untrue.
• Harry believed that a primary reason Voldemort chose the bank (specifically the Lestrange vault) to hideone of his horcruxes is because as a child, Voldemort would envy the wizarding families who possess a vault in this prestigious bank when he, an orphan whose magical maternal family has been reduced to poverty (and therefore would not have a vault for him to inherit), did not, something he would see as a sign of belonging to the wizarding world. He also believed that the bank's famous security would be sufficient to protect the container of his soul fragment, and was beyond furious when he found out the goblins failed to guard the cup.
• Organised byBloomsbury Publishing for the2021Harry Potter Book Night,^[35] when thecast ofHarry Potter and the Cursed Child read aloudHarry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Chapter 5 (Diagon Alley) together,Kristina Peters, the actress portrayingDelphini in the Hamburg production ofHarry Potter and the Cursed Child, read the warning sign ("Enter, stranger, but take heed [...]") from Gringotts Wizarding Bank.^[36]
