Summary

We do something truly wild and crazy this week: spend 45 minutes talking about wizard currency! By popular demand, it's an all-wizarding-economics episode, and wow, does it get wonky. Are galleons artificially devalued? Is there something (((unpleasant))) about the way goblins are portrayed? Does the wizarding war come down to ECONOMIC ANXIETY? Can we do any math at all??? This week: No chapters! Just $$$ Next week's chapters: The Dark Mark & Mayhem at the Ministry
