Summary

When we think of WEALTHY individuals from the Harry Potter story there are a few people and/or wizarding families that come to mind.-

First and foremost: The Malfoys- a wealthy, pureblood wizarding family known for their influence in the wizarding world and their affiliation with dark magic. The Malfoys built their immense wealth in 1066 when their distant ancestor, Armand Malfoy, arrived in England with William the Conqueror.

Next up, we've got the Lestranges�another wealthy pureblood family whose immense generational wealth only doubled upon intermarriage with another pureblood family, the Blacks.-

"The old goblin obeyed, pressing his palm to the wood, and the door of the vault melted away to reveal a cave-like opening crammed from floor to ceiling with golden coins and goblets, silver armour, skins of strange creatures, and a skull still wearing it's crown."

And finally we've got the Potters. Harry Potter's wealth in the Harry Potter story is certainly no secret- and we're exposed to it as early as the Philosopher's Stone- when we're first introduced to vault 687 at Gringotts. Harry has piles and piles of gold- and his immense wealth is mentioned time and time again throughout the Harry Potter story.

As it turns out, the Potter family fortune started with the founding Patriarch of the family, Linfred of Stinchcombe, a revolutionary potioner that began to amass riches in the Potter name. Following him in the family business was Fleamont Potter, Harry's grandfather, who had all sorts of success of his own.

And it seems like these few wizarding families, who touted generational wealth that had been amassed by their ancestors before them, are the only examples of 'rich' wizarding families in the Harry Potter story.-

But what if I told you that there was a man out there FAR wealthier than all of these families COMBINED...AND that he lived in a run-down old shack on the Hogwarts grounds.

Enter: Rubeus Hagrid.
