[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Question About Harry's Gift To Mr. Weasley

[Cabal]

I always presumed they must have a muggle-money exchange at Gringots, also
Harry's money is gold, silver and bronze -- easily tradable for cash.

[Lee]:
That's why I asked the question, Steve. Knowing that the Dursleys don't
give him any money, I wondered how he could have gotten the items. Did he
(A) find money in the street and save it up to buy the stuff, (b) find the
stuff in the trash, (c) theft it from Uncle Vernon's shed, etc.? I mention
the shed as OOTP says that Harry was threatened with being locked in it if
he got home after Dudley.




Danielle:
I think that at some point in time Harry exchanged some of his wizarding
gold for muggle money. Either that or he gave wizarding money to Hermione
who owled her parents and asked them to pick up the stuff.
