Why Didn't Harry Potter SHARE His Gold?

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing Harry Potter's INSANE fortune.  It’s no secret that Harry had inherited some SERIOUS wizarding cash from his parents. It’s something we learn right from the get-go, when Hagrid takes a young, 11-year-old Harry Potter to his family vault at Gringotts Wizarding Bank in The Philosopher’s Stone. And, as you may recall, what Harry finds upon this, his first visit to his vault, is somewhat of a small fortune.  It’s also no secret as to where this immense wealth came from. J.K. Rowling herself addressed this very topic years ago in an article on wizardingworld.com. Apparently, Harry is a distant descendent of the inventor of Skele-gro and other remedies, and his lineage took a great deal of care in maintaining—as well as growing—their wealth. However, what we’re here to discuss today is the number of occasions in which Harry was generous with this money—giving away gold to his friends and those whom he felt needed it. So, exactly how many times DID Harry give away his money? Well, as it happens, the answer is: not many. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
