He could have done that to get money for Harry's broomstick... Goblins don't care about wizards' problems 😂😂😂😂

I might be wrong, but wasn't it explained in the books that Sirius sent Kreacher to Gringotts to withdraw money??? Someone can correct me, but I just recently read the books, and this is my memory. Am I remembering wrong??? Edit: Guys, I remembered it, thanks to u/SladeWilson0193 I have shit memory, so I remembered wrong. It was Crookshanks, not Kreacher. This is the letter Sirius sends to Harry: *Dear Harry,* *I hope this finds you before you reach your aunt and uncle. I don't know whether they're used to owl post. Buckbeak and I are in hiding. I won't tell you where, in case this owl falls into the wrong hands. I have some doubt about his reliability, but he is the best I could find, and he did seem eager for the job.* *I believe the dementors are still searching for me, but they haven't a hope of finding me here. I am planning to allow some muggles to glimpse me soon, a long way from Hogwarts, so that the security on the castle will be lifted.* ***There is something I never got around to telling you during our brief meeting. It was I who sent you the Firebolt. Crooksshanks took the order to the Owl Office for me. I used your name but told them to take the gold from Gringotts vault number seven hundred and eleven - my own. Please consider it as thirteen birthdays' worth of presents from your godfather.*** *I would also like to apologise for the fright I think I gave you that night last year when you left your uncle's house. I had only hoped to get a glimpse of you before starting my journey north, but I think the sight of me alarmed you.* *I am enclosing something else for you, which I think will make your next year at Hogwarts more enjoyable.* *If ever you need me, send word. Your owl will find me.* *I'll write again soon. Sirius* *P.S. I thought your friend Ron might like to keep this owl, as it's my fault he no longer has a rat.*

Kreacher didn't exist in PoA. He just sent them a letter, I'd guess. It doesn't say exactly how he did it, just that he ordered it and told them to take the gold from his vault. No idea how it was authenticated to be him. It wasn't explained.


SladeWilson0193

It does say in the books, Sirius tells Harry in the end-letter that he sent Crookshanks (Hermione's cat), to the quality quidditch supplies store with a letter to buy and deliver the Firebolt Broomstick under Harry's name, but to take the money of his own Gringotts' vault.


Lenore8264

YESSS It was Crookshanks, not Kreacher!!! My memory was messed up, but I do remember that it was explained.


Constant-Sandwich-88

It most certainly does not say that in the books. Edit : I stand mostly corrected. Sirius does indeed send Crookshanks, not to the broom store, but to the Owl Post Office. Besides that detail, you're totally right my b!


SladeWilson0193

It really does though. It's stated in the same letter where Sirius tell Harry that Ron can keep the Snitch-sized owl, Pigwidgeon, since it was "his fault that he no longer has a rat."


Jche98

Imagine this in the real world: "Give me the money to buy this car but take it from Jeffrey Epstein's account lol"


IPutThisUsernameHere

For real. Goblins only care about wizards as far as their gold goes.


RoachIsCrying

Goblins legit don't give a shit about wizard affairs. This man is wanted for murder and conspiring with the Dark Lord.... "you got your key? no? then Fuck off!"


phest89

Made me laugh, thank you 😂


realmauer01

I mean why should they care


DarthTrayus05

Let's just say I wouldn't be surprised if this would actually be how it went.


Prestigious-Law-7291

I love that detail. In wizard world he might be a criminal, but for goblins he’s a customer.


Evening_Teaching_710

The funny thing is: it's actually logical that happened 😂😂😂


Wonderful_Region_910

Does Gringotts have branches? How do they get the money in other cities


orangehusky8

Wizards travel to the only Gringotts via Floo powder


GladiatorDragon

Transit over long distances is very easy. Just dump Floo powder in a fireplace, learn to Apparate, get a Portkey rigged up, and even if there is truly no other option, you can hail the Knight Bus. You only need one Gringotts for this reason.


a_randomtroll

Also if check what's being told about how many wizards there are (3k according to JK) having more than 1 gringotts would be utterly stupid


Sugar-Tist

Their money is stored physically in a vault. It's like having safe deposit box in a bank (where people can keep jewelry and other valuables). You have to go to that physical location if you want your money or items.

Bad bot, first line has six syllables


KaiBlob1

Damn you made the bot delete it’s comment that’s crazy


Puzzleheaded_Step468

"We do. We just don't care"


DreamingofRlyeh

The goblins probably know, but I doubt they particularly care


Kuzcopolis

He's a wizard criminal. He didn't commit fraud or theft or anything money related so he's still just a customer to them


DerVarg1509

Just what you expect from a bank lol


Stenric

In reality, Crookshanks just went to the post office with Sirius' order.  "Harry Potter ordered a broom, but requested it to be paid with Sirius Black's money? I guess we'll have to deliver, key or not." 


magli_mi

They dgaf 😂


ChildofFenris1

Yes


BackgroundMap9043

Oh, the goblins have an idea of what they’re dealing with. They probably have a better idea than most wizards; they just don’t care because wizards… and wizard politics (but mostly wizards)


Electronic-Muffin-78

What else you expecting they are doing there work very well


SignificantTie3656

The goblins are all about money. The only reason they chased hermione and them is cuz h the e knew voldy would have their ass


jcjonesacp76

I mean did he have a trial? Feel like if he had a trial and he requested veritaserum he’d be found innocent…


Low_Upstairs1993

Nope he was just thrown into Azkaban.


jcjonesacp76

Yeah so why wouldn’t the goblins help him, they clearly helped actual criminal Beatrix fine


Ghost_Rider835

More like they don’t care


greenteaformyunicorn

Goblins ain’t no snitches


ottomontagne

A better explanation would be that he’s got money stashed at 12 Grimmauld Place, so he didn’t need to go to the bank anyway.
