[HPforGrownups] Possible question to pose to JKR

[Christian Stubø]

No: HPFGUIDX 3996

I based my assumption on the Omnioculars, and the
Weasley-family's trip to Egypt.  The Omnioculars were
10 Galleon.  Harry's statement ("...but you won't be
getting any Christmas presents - for ten years, mind."
or something like that) gives an indication on the
general level of expense that seems to be norm for
Christmas gifts between friends.  If you assume a
price somewhere around that of a book, or a full-price
CD, then 10/$15(US) per Galleon doesn't seem to be to
unrealistic.  It would leave the price the Weasley's
won in PoA at 7,000/10,500, assuming about
6,000/$9,000 spent on the trip to Egypt.  I do not
see that as being way off for a trip for that many
people, counting in that relations with the ministry
and Gringotts, and the fact that they are visiting a
relative, might result in certain discounts.
