Another example: the witch who bets half of her eel farm at the QWC in GoF.

In fact, one of the things I love the most about the Harry Potter books is
the normal and ordinary lives they lead. Arthur works diligently at a
low-paid government job (much like employees of Muggle governments). Mollie
is a homemaker with a house full of children. Tom at the bar; Madame
Rosemertra owns her small tavern; Madame Malkin the seamstress, who measures
robes the old-fashioned way and without a whole lot of magic. Except for
their magical abilities, they could all be our friends or neighbors or even
ourselves. It's a wonderful thing.
