Q: Why are the Gringott's goblins breaking curses, opening tombs, and
taking treasure in Egypt?... Unless you believe that the wizard world
is totally self-sustaining then some products like meat, fruit,
vegetables, raw manufacturing materials have to come from
outside...>>>

Thanks for these insights. I was having trouble with the concept of
our crazysexycool Bill Weasley as a grave-robbing imperialist. Also,
could it be that Gringott's is the Federal Reserve Bank of the WW,
i.e., the only one that officially interacts with financial entities
outside the WW, and that there might be local wizarding credit unions
or mutual aid societies that operate entirely in the community (as
the do in immigrant communities in NYC where I live)?
