It wasn't just his wizardry acumen that made Harry smart, though. One of the best decisions he ever made had to do with money. Yup, Harry decided against a major purchase and saved his money instead.
Harry is also thought to have inherited millions from his great-grandmother, the Queen Mother. It is not known whether the late Queen left him any money.
Despite his wealth, Harry Potter never offered to help the Weasley family with their financial struggles. In the books, it's clear this wasn't greed. Over the years, fans have criticized the titular Harry Potter character for allowing The Weasley family to live in poverty even though he had enough wealth to help them.
Since we know one galleon is equal to around $25, the minimum amount of money in Harry's vault is a mind-blowing $1,265,625! And that's the baaaaaare minimum considering that in the books, although no specifics were given, A LOT more money was depicted.
Prince Harry shockingly revealed that he was only able to leave the palace and financially live on his own because of the money that his late mother left for him to inherit (which he dives more into in his upcoming book).
But the Queen Mother had an agreement that Prince Harry would get more than Prince William. So, when she passed away aged 101, the brothers had £14million to split between them, but as agreed the younger brother did better out of the deal.
A lot of people seem to be under the impression that Draco Malfoy has more money than Harry Potter. However, I would be very surprised if this was actually true, and I'll explain why. Harry Potter has the entirety of his family's wealth entitled to him personally in his account.
One of the wealthiest Wizarding families in Britain, the Malfoys were known for their connections to other pureblood families and their covert influence over the magical government. In contrast to the Weasleys, the Malfoys were traditionally sorted into Slytherin and supported pureblood supremacy.
Who is the richest Harry Potter actor? Radcliffe is currently the wealthiest actor from the Harry Potter franchise. The rest of the main kid cast's ranking, in order from highest to lowest estimated net worth, is: Emma Watsonat $85 million.
The British government stopped providing security after Harry, the younger son of King Charles III, and his wife, the former actress Meghan Markle, quit their royal duties and moved to California in 2020. It then rejected his offer to pay for protection when he visits home.
"Linfred was a vague and absent-minded fellow whose Muggle neighbours often called upon his medicinal services," Rowling explained. It was these "medicinal services," including "Skele-gro" and "Pepper Potion," that were the beginnings of the Potter family fortune.
But this poverty is created due to a limitation of magic creating a scarcity of resources such as food and other goods. As Rowling said in an interview “Something that you conjure out of thin air will not last.” (World Exclusive) If we posit a world where magic is limitless, families like the Weasleys would not exist.
However, after Meghan and Harry left the royals, they announced their plan to be “financially independent” and no longer take money from streams like the Sovereign Grant. “They will no longer receive public funds for Royal duties,” Kensington Palace said in a statement in September 2020.
James and Lily inherited the money. James's father, Fleamont, invented Sleekeazy's Hair Potion (what Hermione used to tame her hair for the Yule Ball.) Fleamont Potter made quite a bit of money from his invention, and upon retirement, sold the company for a large profit.
And this is why Hermione does not fit into Ravenclaw, since she lacks their creativity of thought. When you also add in her fearlessness and her strong convictions about right and wrong, which are inherently Gryffindor traits, then there was even less of a chance she'd end up wearing blue and bronze.
Having rendered unknown, shady (and almost certainly magical) services to King William I, Malfoy was given a prime piece of land in Wiltshire, seized from local landowners, upon which his descendants have lived for ten consecutive centuries.
Her real parents were Daneel and Dean Novak, Pureblooded wizards. Turns out Daneel was Tom Riddles younger sister, Daneel Riddle. Of course, the Riddles were related to Salzar Slytherin himself, and this made Hermione the living heir of Slytherin. The problem with being a female Slytherin heir, is that they're cursed.
Snape's family lived on Spinner's End, which is shown as a run-down street in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," insinuating that Snape's family wasn't very wealthy.
The Weasley's genuinely had no money
We discover in Chamber of Secrets that their Gringotts vault consists of 1 Galleon and a couple of Sickles (that can't be more than £18). Add to this that Ron's Ford Anglia antics saw them fined 50 Galleons (£850), if anything, is father Arthur could have afforded to be far angrier.
Though Felton has less screen time, his paycheck was totally the opposite. Tom reportedly made $14 million across the eight films, the equivalent of being paid $451,613 per minute of screen time. Meanwhile, in a previous interview, Tom admitted to being financially irresponsible for a while after the films were made.
Harry James Potter holds half-blood status in Rowling's imagined wizarding world because his mother is Muggle-born and his father is pure-blood. There are three main blood statuses; pure-blood, half-blood, and Muggle-born, which are all methods of determining a witch or wizard's magical lineage.
