[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Cost of Harry's Schoolbooks

[Sister Mary Lunatic]

The cost of Omnioculars -- don't forget they were being sold at a sporting
event.  That's a license to charge double or triple for everyday goods.
It's just like a vending machine charging 70 or 80 cents for a can of pop
that costs 20 cents a piece in a six-pack.

Evil Empress Notes on Fortress Construction:
#2.  My Command Center will have a heavily guarded room
at the bottom of a 100 story subterranean shaft that
will contain a sophisticated bus-sized computer with
a fake encoded plan, no external link, and no real function
whatsoever. The real command center will be a satellite-linked
laptop on a card-table with a folding chair at the top of the
elevator shaft, behind a door marked 'standpipe valves'
accessible through the unlocked janitor's closet.

I checked--no.  The price of his wand is 7 Galleons, and the prices
of unicorn horns and beetle eyes are given, though Harry doesn't buy
them (21 G per for the horns, 5 K/scoop for the eyes).  We don't have
any idea how much he takes out of his vault, either.
Good heavens! Seven galleons for a wand, and *ten* for those
binocular-things at the World Cup? I'd gotten the general impression over
the course of the four books that the value of the currency had slipped a
bit--this seems to reinforce that. Thoughts?
