4Quoting wikipedia: A goblin is a legendary evil or mischievous creature; a grotesquely evil or evil-like phantom. It is in his nature.– NominSimCommented Aug 29, 2012 at 12:32

25I do not think it fair to give the generic definition of a goblin, without at least confirming that they are essentially the same in the HP works.– John OCommented Aug 29, 2012 at 13:12

4A goblin's loyalty lies to his profession rather than to individuals, or even their own lives. This is typically true for goblins. A banker must not let the bank be compromised.– Gorchestopher HCommented Aug 29, 2012 at 14:13

1I always wondered why Harry made such a short-sighted deal to begin with. He could have easily said, "Griphook, if you get us into the Lestrange vault and out of the bank again to a place of safety then the sword is yours." Just a simple oversight? I guess it wouldn't have made for a fun escape that way. I guess I will never understand that one.– Ali GCommented Jun 10, 2016 at 18:31

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
