Harry Potter fans were thrilled to learn that the titular character of the beloved series would never have to worry about money. In the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, readers were introduced to the fact that Harry’s parents had left him a “small fortune” in vault 687 of Gringotts Wizarding Bank. This money allowed Harry to purchase all the necessary supplies for his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
But just how much money did Harry’s parents leave him? Unfortunately, J.K. Rowling has never revealed the exact amount, leaving fans to speculate on the size of Harry’s inheritance.
The most popular theory is that Harry’s parents left him a million Galleons, which is the equivalent of about £4.5 million in Muggle money. This would be enough to cover Harry’s school supplies and any other expenses he might have during his time at Hogwarts. It would also be enough to cover the cost of a few trips to Hogsmeade and other magical locations.
However, some fans have speculated that the amount could be much higher. After all, Harry’s parents were wealthy and powerful members of the wizarding world, so it’s possible that they left Harry a much larger sum of money.
Whatever the exact amount, it’s clear that Harry’s parents left him enough money to ensure that he would never have to worry about money during his time at Hogwarts. This was a great gift, as it allowed Harry to focus on his studies and his adventures without having to worry about finances.
Harry’s inheritance was a great source of comfort for him during his time at Hogwarts, and it allowed him to pursue his dreams without worrying about money. It’s a testament to the love and care his parents had for him, even after their untimely deaths.
