And secondly you must be [a goblin] for the [goblin's code] to apply and your not. And thirdly, the code is more what you call 'guidelines' than actual rules..."

Jun 10, 2016 at 18:31 comment added Ali G I 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.

Aug 29, 2012 at 17:12 comment added DVK-on-Ahch-To @GorchestopherH - technically speaking, Lehman doesn't employ anyone since 2008 :)
Aug 29, 2012 at 17:12 comment added Gorchestopher H @DVK Lehman clearly doesn't employ enough Goblins.
Aug 29, 2012 at 17:08 comment added DVK-on-Ahch-To @GorchestopherH - You haven't met many modern bankers, have you? cough Lehman cough
Aug 29, 2012 at 17:07 comment added DVK-on-Ahch-To @MarkBeadles - that is not always correct. I can give you gazillion of examples from muggle politcal life that are polar opposite.
Aug 29, 2012 at 14:19 comment added Mark Beadles Although there is a history among Goblins, wizards, and House-elves, one can't predict an individual's actions based on the race of creatures that individuals belong to. Usually an individual's motivations are simply based on self-interest -- which seems to be the case here.
Aug 29, 2012 at 14:13 comment added Gorchestopher H A 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.
Aug 29, 2012 at 13:27 comment added NominSim @JohnO I don't know that it is "unfair" to imply that the goblins in Harry Potter are essentially based on traditional goblins, and therefore should have essentially the same characteristics, especially in the context of a comment not intended to be taken as an answer.

Aug 29, 2012 at 13:12 comment added John O I 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.
Aug 29, 2012 at 12:32 comment added NominSim Quoting wikipedia: A goblin is a legendary evil or mischievous creature; a grotesquely evil or evil-like phantom. It is in his nature.
