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!?
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.
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?
More like Delphi Voldemort!!!
don’t say that name. How dare you say you know who.
YOU KNOW WHAT! I DON’T GIVE A (This word has been censored to viewers) ANYMORE AS TO IF I’M UNDERAGE, I WILL SET A BLOODY BAT-BOGEY HEX ON YOU AND YOU WILL REGRET IT! I DON’T THINK “MUDBLOODS” ARE FILTHY, YOU ARE FOR SAYING SUCH A DIRTY WORD! FORGET (This word has been censored to viewers), IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL TO BE PREJUDGES AGAINST PEOPLE THAT ARE A DIFFERENT BLOOD CLASSIFICATION AS YOU! THEY COULDN’T HELP IT! I MAY BE PUREBLOOD BUT I WILL NOT LET THIS STAND! HEY-
Sorry about that, what my Cousin meant to say was; TREAT OTHERS WITH EQUALITY OR ELSE.
~H.
I STILL HATE U DELPHI! I KNOW WHO U REALLY ARE, I READ THE PLAYSCRIPT FOR CURSED CHILD AS I AM MUGGLE BORN!

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!
How did he even get in even though you need a wand to get into Diagon Alley
When will the Ministry of Magic finally understand some Muggles are dangerous?
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 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.
But what if he wasn’t under the curse? If muggles can get into Diagon Alley now, our sanctuaries are limited.
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 think that if the muggles came in we are all in danger.
Yep. EVACUATE TO HOGWARTS IF THIS CONTINUES!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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?
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
