Harry Potter’s legal wizarding tender includes bronze Knuts, silver Sickles, and gold Galleons. This currency has its own conversion rate from Muggle money, and thanks to the mythology’s fanbase, it is now common knowledge that there are 29 Knuts in a Sickle, 493 Knuts in a Galleon, and 17 Sickles in a Galleon. This exchange rate may or may not mean much in Hogwarts Legacy, but the currency itself is set to appear in-game.

Hogwarts Legacy’s State of Play presentation depicts a merchant’s wares in Hogsmeade, where the UI menu for purchasing items at Pippin’s Potions allots the amount of Knuts, Sickles, and Galleons players have. Then, each item shows how much it costs, such as a Wiggenweld Potion costing one Galleon. This all seems simple enough and behaves similarly to in-game currency systems in any other fantastical open-world RPG. But one question still remains: if players are indeed able to spend Knuts, Sickles, and Galleons, how will they first earn them?

In Harry Potter lore, it is not unusual for witches and wizards to house their coins in a subterranean vault beneath Gringotts, the wizarding bank that is located in Diagon Alley and run by goblins.

Gringotts vaults are accessed via a rickety mine cart along a rollercoaster-esque track, which made for engaging and suspenseful sequences in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone on PS1. In the movies, Harry learns that his parents had left a hefty inheritance for him within one of these vaults.

In Hogwarts Legacy, it is entirely plausible that a similar fund will be available to
