Care for Magical Creatures Lesson 3

No unfortunatly that is wrong. Goblins do not care for Money and will protect it fairly. They will never help either the Good wizard or the Dark onces. Now for Homework pls write me a small paper on Goblins and give them to me before the next lesson.

Goblins are extremely clever and over the years have dealt with wizard-kind effectively. They are still subservient in the minds of most wizards, but they have established themselves as a vital part of wizarding society. The goblins run Gringotts, the wizarding bank. Therefore, they control the wizarding economy to a large extent. It is unknown if Gringotts is the only bank in the British wizarding world.

Goblins dislike theft, but use a different definition of the word. By goblin standards, the maker of an item, not the purchaser is the rightful owner; the purchaser is required to return the item to its maker upon his or her death. Paying for a goblin-made artefact is merely renting, not buying. Goblins consider the passing of an item from one wizard or witch to another without further payment to its maker "little more than theft", as Bill Weasley puts it.

Goblins also holds debt to extremes, as they hunted down Ludo Bagman after he lost a bet with them, and that even though they took everything of value from him after he cheated them with Leprechaun gold, they still hound him due to it being not enough to cover his debt. When Bagman ran out on his final loss against the goblins, they refused to side with the humans due to this cheat.

Overall, goblins' idea of payment and repayment are not the same as humans.

I handed Out The Essays and Asked "Professor Hagrid, Is it because that they Mint Galleons and Sickles that they control the economy of the wizarding World?"

I also attached a Photograph of a Goblin and blushed at Professor Hagrid.


Severus Snape

I send an owl to professor hagrid with a note on it cuz im not in the rioom

5 hours later i wheel myself into the class room.. " Um sorry professor fer not knocking but i can only use one hand... Something is wrong with my right hand is it ok if i write my homework with a special quil that will write what i say?" I wheel over to a table and wait fer an answer

Sure Miss Granger u may do it that way. I hope ur hand gets better soon. Now i gotta rush Grump is getting hungry. And i sped off into the Forest.

i got out a sparkling skarlet red quil. I set it down and spoke quietly. I made sure the quil made no mistakes as i spoke

I wheeled myself over to professor hagrids desk. I places down my parchment that read:

Goblins are small, humanoid creatures that have long fingers and feet.Goblins are uncomonly clever. Gringotts Wizarding Bank 9s ran by these creatures. gobilns are capable to do magic without wands.

i stood there and i sard quietly... "im sorry its so shory... but im losing me voice." i waited fer a reply

professor hagrid may i leave... i believe that im sposed to take my second year classes now." i wait fer an answer

I believe, Professor Snape has given you instructions in this regard

I knocked on the door of the class room wanting to be in this class

U may come in Miss Weasly. U are free to take this class everytime u wish.

I walked into the room and sat down in a desk far in the back. I saw my aunt sit down in her seat as I lay down my bag. I looked around then asked.. "professor i havent a clue what my homework is... can u explain it one more time?" i waited for an answer

I sat down and nodded to professor hagrid. I looked around not noticing my niece had entured the class room

I think you Need to Write a paragraph about Goblins!

I walked into the room, not caring i was late, and sat down at the desk right at the back.
I put my hand up and said:

Goblins, they are extremely clever and over the years have dealt with wizard-kind effectively. They are still subservient in the minds of most wizards, but they have established themselves as a vital part of wizarding society. The goblins run Gringotts, the wizarding bank. Therefore, they control the wizarding economy to a large extent. It is unknown if Gringotts is the only bank in the British wizarding world.

Apart from their cleverness with money and finances, goblins are also very capable metalsmiths.

I glare at professor snape from my desk. He thinks he is so angelic... I couldnt wait till i caught up to him in posts since i was right behind him

Goblins are magical creatures defined as beings, rather than beasts, that are chiefly involved with metal work and the running of Gringotts bank. They are represented by the Goblin Liaison Office in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. Goblins are described as having long, thin fingers and feet, black eyes, and domed heads that are much larger than human heads. Goblins eat a diet of largely raw meat, roots, and fungi. Goblins converse in a language known as Gobbledegook. Goblins harbour very different feelings about ownership than wizards: they consider the true owner of an object to be its maker, invariably, rather than its purchaser, whom they see as simply renting the object until their death, and resent the passing of goblin-made heirlooms through Wizarding families without further payment. Wizarding Law prohibits the ownership of wands by goblins. Goblins are capable of using goblin magic which (like elf magic) is independent of Wizarding magic.

Relations between goblins and wizards have been strained for centuries from misunderstandings on both sides, sometimes leading to violence in the form of goblin rebellions and riots. Along with house-elves, goblins seem to occupy positions as second-class citizens in the Wizarding world. The goblins remain a neutral force during the Second Wizarding War, siding with neither Voldemort nor the opposition to him, claiming that it is "a wizard's war. In some cases, a state of friendship exists between certain wizards and goblins (particularly Bill Weasley, who works as a Curse Breaker for Gringotts Bank), and there have even been some instances of goblin-wizard interbreeding (Professor Flitwick has distant goblin ancestry, which likely accounts for his small size).

Named Goblin characters:

* Griphook
* Gornuk, an associate of Griphook
* Bogrod
* Ragnok
* Ragnuk the First: Supposedly the creator of the sword of Godric Gryffindor

A goblin is a small, humanoid creature with long fingers and feet. They are uncommonly clever. Goblins run Gringotts Wizarding Bank. Goblins have their own type of magic and can do magic without a wand. Their own language is Gobbledegook.

Throughout the history of the Wizarding world, there have been several goblin rebellions. These rebellions were most prevalent in the 1600s and 1700s, but even today there are subversive goblin groups who work in secret against the Ministry, according to the Daily Prophet. One rebellion, in 1612, took place in the vicinity of Hogsmeade; the Three Broomsticks Inn was used as headquarters for the rebellion. The rebellions have been described as "bloody and vicious." The names of the rebels tend to run along the lines of "Bogrod the Bearded" and "Urg the Unclean", according to Ron Weasley.

The reasons for starting some of the varied Goblin Rebellions include all but one of the following (according to J.K. Rowling's Official Site's 3rd W.O.M.B.A.T. test, all but one of the following are true):

* An allegation by Ragnuk the First that Godric Gryffindor stole his sword
* The pursuit and imprisonment of Ug the Unreliable, who was peddling leprechaun gold
* The accidental death of Nagnok, Gringotts Wizarding Bank goblin, at the hands of an untrained Security troll sent by the Ministry of Magic
* Imprisonment of the notoriously violent Hodrod the Horny-Handed, who attempted to kill three wizards
* The public ducking in the village pond by a gang of young wizards of goblin activist Urg the Unclean* The Ministry of Magic decree of 1631 preventing magical beings other than wizards and witches from carrying a wand.

Goblins are extremely clever and over the years have dealt with wizard-kind effectively. They are still subservient in the minds of most wizards, but they have established themselves as a vital part of wizarding society. The goblins run Gringotts, the wizarding bank. Therefore, they control the wizarding economy to a large extent. It is unknown if Gringotts is the only bank in the British wizarding world.

Apart from their cleverness with money and finances, goblins are also very capable metalsmiths. Their silverwork is well known and prized (Sirius Black's wealthy family had dishes which were 'finest fifteenth-century goblin-wrought silver, embossed with the Black family crest'). When Rubeus Hagrid visited the Giants, one of the presents he brought was a goblin-wrought helmet which was described as "indestructable". Goblins actually mint the Galleons, Sickles, and Knuts used in the Wizarding world; each coin is stamped with a serial number identifying the goblin who cast it.

It is possible that part-goblin Filius Flitwick has inherited such cleverness, as he is in Ravenclaw, which encourages the intelligence, and that Flitwick has demonstrated such brilliance in many occasions.

Goblins dislike theft, but use a different definition of the word. By goblin standards, the maker of an item, not the purchaser is the rightful owner; the purchaser is required to return the item to its maker upon his or her death. Paying for a goblin-made artefact is merely renting, not buying. Goblins consider the passing of an item from one wizard or witch to another without further payment to its maker "little more than theft", as Bill Weasley puts it.

Goblins also holds debt to extremes, as they hunted down Ludo Bagman after he lost a bet with them, and that even though they took everything of value from him after he cheated them with Leprechaun gold, they still hound him due to it being not enough to cover his debt. When Bagman ran out on his final loss against the goblins, they refused to side with the humans due to this cheat.

Overall, goblins' idea of payment and repayment are not the same as humans.
