Muggle Attempts to Rob Gringotts
It’s not uncommon in the muggle world to hear about bank robberies – but it is unusual that you would hear about Muggles trying to rob Wizarding Banks.
For the first time in history, a muggle-man was reported to have marched into Gringotts Bank in Diagon Alley at approximately 11am waving around a black wand that was described to project pieces of elemental lead, also known to Muggles as a gun.
While no one was hurt during the transgression, the question looms – how exactly did a Muggle get into Diagon Alley and furthermore, what would a Muggle need with Wizarding Currency?
When we caught up with one of the Goblins who was at the bank during the time of the incident, he let us know
“The man who came into Gringotts did not speak, not even once. He walked in, went straight to the first clerk that was available and passed them a howler. The howler began screaming in a dark ominous voice that if Gringotts did not hand over all Golden Galleons in the bank’s possession, we would all be subject to death. You just cant trust those muggle folk, none of them.”
For our readers who are unfamiliar with Gringotts, this request is not only impractical but impossible. Access to a Wizard or Witches vault is only possible through the Wizard or Witch theirselves. What’s also peculiar is that Howlers require magic to become activated. How would a muggle have been able to do this?
Furthermore, we have heard from an unverified source that the Muggle in question may have been under the Imperious Curse. The Department of Muggle Affairs however has refused to speak with The Daily Prophet regarding the circumstances that unfolded today.
Right now there are more questions than answers, but rest assured. The Daily Prophet will bring you more information on this story as it continues to unfold.
Until then fellow Wizards and Witches, steer clear of black muggle wands as they have been reported to cause serious harm or death.
When, when, will Ministry start taking muggles seirously!?
Having been born to muggles, they have been known to do some interesting things. Even my sister Hermione agrees.
That’s right I agree and for wizards you must known that muggles have many ways to get informations from anyone muggle or wizard
How could they? First we have to deal with Mudbloods, now we have to deal with interfering Muggles!
How DARE you speak that word you are a total disgrace, may you be cursed,
Agreed
Never speak that HORRID word!
MUDBLOODS? Why you little…
I TOTALLY AGREE!
Albus??!!… Your father was a great man he had a brilliant friend Hermione Granger but, even she was a common muggle… Don’t let ur father down. Harry was a great friend of mine.
Hi, Luna it’s so nice to see you again how is it going have you got any children?
Shouldn’t you be in Azkaban….

Agreed
Mudbloods! How dare you! By the way, I think your supposed to be in Azkaban, am I correct?

Lots of great Wizard are muggle-born! Never say that horrid word!
More like Delphi Voldemort!!!

You know Shayna your father Harry Potter wasn’t even once scared to say Voldemort’s name
I agree do NOT say that name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got rid of Voldemort, remember?

I DON’T THINK “MUDBLOODS” ARE FILTHY, YOU ARE FOR SAYING SUCH A DIRTY WORD!

I MAY BE PUREBLOOD BUT I WILL NOT LET THIS STAND! HEY-

~H.

I WILL REPORT U FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER! U WILL NEVER HEAR THE END OF IT!
How DARE you.
I- Diggory, I swear to Merlin- .. only if I knew your address.. As the M.O.M cant track you down ( you’re probably a Muggle yourself or an overage witch/ wizard ), we cant push you into Azkaban. That wont stop me finding a person who does not respect half-bloods or Muggle-borns for I am born by a Squib father and a Half-blooded mother. A Diggory, you must be in HufflePuff? But HufflePuffs wont act this way! You’re not even supposed to be in any wizarding schools! Although I’m a Gryffindor, I’m proud to claim that I have knowledge about your house. Mudbloods eh? You’re no fit for a person that could call others by that shitty name. Actually, no one could.
Don’t say that word!
Why has no one contacted the ministry yet?!?
How dare you speak of the muggles like that I have friends who are muggles you watch your mouth if anything you are cursed by VOLDEMORT and I don’t care if I say is name but you are a death eater aren’t you
WHAT ARE HORRID WORD! HOW DARE YOU SPEAK IT!? I HATE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART DELPHI!
How dare you say something like that! Someone ought to report you immediately!
SHUT UP DELPHI
Excuse me? As a muggle-born myself, I hate the fact that people like you still exist using such a deregotary term! Shame on you!
HOW DARE YOU CALL PEOPLE MUDBLOODS! I am a proud Muggle-Born!
Watch your words Delphi, because I’ve learned a handy new spell that makes people float for about a few days. And the best part is, as far as I know, there is not much to do about it.:)
How did he even get in even though you need a wand to get into Diagon Alley
He probably did that thing some bad muggles do- tail-gating, was it?
Could have been working with a witch or wizard to rob us
When will the Ministry of Magic finally understand some Muggles are dangerous?
Well, we might improve on that. I can talk to Harry about it.
HOW did a muggle out of all things get in! That muggle was very stupid to do such a thing. The entrance to diagon alley is protected. I wonder how that muggle got in. This is bad……very bad Indeed!!
I know right the entrance should mabye be made more sicure
I think he had a family member who was a wizard
How is the ministry doing nothing about this? If a muggle had gotten into Diagon Alley he must have been under an imperious curse. Could there be another new dark lord?
Seriously, the Ministry of Magic should be more conscious, and how does it appear that a muggle just happens to have a wand that doesn’t make any sense, he must have been under the imperius curse or unless, there could be another dark lord rising
Jessica, it’s not really a wand. Guns and wands are different. Its another one of their ways of getting on without magic. but he did have a howler. That’s what worries me.
Album it’s aunt Hermione and you should know that it’s pretty easy to make a howler I made my first one ,one month before professor McGonagall came to my house to tell me that I am a witch
Albus I’m sorry that I wrote your name wrong
Guns are evil. As I muggle born and only 10 years old I lOVE harry potter EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But what if he wasn’t under the curse? If muggles can get into Diagon Alley now, our sanctuaries are limited.
Well said Albus, the ministry should take harder measures against muggles that interfere with a wizards life.
Maybe someone let him in on purpose, if so, the ministry ought to track him down and do something about it.
Thats all well and good, Lily, but what if he wasn’t under the curse? What if he got in a different way? What then?
I think ive seen u and lilly’s names before… r u friends with scorpiose malfoy?
As I agree with my siblings, I think that he was a half-blood. Knowing both wizard and muggle ways, he might’ve been impersonating a muggle so that they couldn’t trace him down as a wizard. I have nothing against half-bloods, for my father is one himself.
I agree, brother, but what I meant is this. What if this man wasn’t a wizard at all? As I said before, if the muggles can enter Diagon, our sanctuaries are limited and our secrecy is in peril. Besides, not sure how much power father’s name carries now. Draco’s been trying to frame father for another Gringott’s robbery.
I agree it is no secret that us wizards and witch’s are very smart and we like to think outside of the box
Severus it’s aunt Hermione you are very smart you seem like me !The thing that you said was the exact same thing I had in mind
I think that if the muggles came in we are all in danger.
Yep. EVACUATE TO HOGWARTS IF THIS CONTINUES!
Why are you using polyjuice potion we both know that I am the original Hermione Granger
Maybe somebody is trying to be the new Voldemort.
Draco Malfoy would be my first guess, considering the fact that his father was Lucius Malfoy, but I place no official blame. This is because I would find this a very serious accusation, despite his parents’ past crimes.
Nope wasn’t my dad. I wouldn’t put it past my Grampa though.
I hate DRACO.
Love, kaileigh
p.s. ANWSER ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think someone probably is, or a supporter of Voldemort who never got caught.
I most certainly agree. As the muggles would say ‘If we go down then we go down together’
This is a dreadful thing to happen. How could a muggle get in? I thought the Imperius Curse only forced someone to do an action, not give them knowledge.
Mister Weasley maybe it didn’t give them knowledge maybe to make a howler was just an action
I don’t know what to think…
How do we know that this muggle wasn’t like a parent of a student at Hogwarts. They must have known how to get to Diagon alley because how could he have seen the Leaky Cauldron. He’s got to have some inside help right? Or maybe he is a descendant of a long line of squibs or something. So he can see things, but can not complete magic. Was he caught?
i honestly think ur right!
Are you sure you aren’t Rowena Ravenclaw’s great-great granddaughter. You have an excellent theory!
My daughter Rowena Raveclaw didn’t get married (you should reread HOGWARTS : a story) but she could be related with Ravenclaw on another way
Very smart miss Azula Ralca
i think we should have a war on muggles so atleast we could live freely
Gold is important to muggles i thing he was under the imperus curse.
Me too!
The ministry needs to upgrade sucurity!
Well the Muggle actually had the nerve to point the metal wand at my face and I was like “oh hell nah flipendo tria”.The look on his face🤣
Omg x100!
How did they get in ? I thought the ministry was stopping muggles entering
I thought that was meant to be one of the safest places obviously not if I muggle got in!! also how would it get into diagon alley you need a wand for that?
I think he was under the imperius curse and someone helped him to get inside diagon alley.
How did they even get into Diagon Ally?
Yeah the ministry needs to sort this out
Yeah the ministry needs to do something at least what happened to the muggle
indeed! I agree, it is strange how a muggle got into Diagon Alley? what if they are half wizard and half muggle? Let me know any more information
Indeed it is odd I wonder if a witch or wizard has helped him? Whatever it is it is certainly not something that a normal muggle could achieve.
I’m a Muggle-Born and before Hogwarts, I would always see news reports on the TV about Muggle bank robberies… but Muggles can’t even get into Diagon Alley! So how did this man get into Gringotts and steal Wizarding Currency? He can’t use Wizarding Currency out there in the Muggle World!
That’s the whole question honey ,you are not smart
JUST STOP SAYING YOU-KNOW-WHAT!!!!
And what is a black wand????
How dare you say something like that! Someone ought to report you immediately!
They could be about to go to Hogwarts and their strange abilities are showing
How could a Muggle even find the leaky cauldron?
They have got to do something about muggles they are getting smarter.
It’s true.. How will I go to Weasley’s wizardinf wheezes now? What has this world comw to? I want to receive a letter from the MOM sharp at 9 tomorrow about the upgraded security
If you say that again delph, I will beeeeeping kill you~~~~
I think this muggle man is trying to find out
what wizarding currency costs in dollars
Delphi is a COWARD.
Well. i just think the ministry should give more attention. That is absolutely crazy. oh, and I come from a muggle family myself, you should note that they are not wands one shot at the head and you will be greeting death almost as fast as getting hit with the killing curse
Wow that is weird, how on earth could a muggle have gotten into Gringotts but being muggle born myself I know that they can do some pretty crazy things even without wands or magic.
The Ministry of Magic HAS to do something about muggles! This is getting out of hand. Im glad Gringotts handled it well.
Wait till my father hears about this.
How did the muggle even get in? This makes no sense.
