In the Harry Potter universe, it's explained that Harry is pretty much the Richie Rich of Hogwarts since his parents left him a pile of cash. And Ron's family is barely getting by. Each of them use gold to purchase their school supplies in Diagon Alley as well as buying candy from the cart on the Hogwarts Express. What's never mentioned, to my knowledge as I've only read the first three books, is Hermione's financial affairs. Her parents are Muggles, so they would naturally have Muggle money and not Wizard gold. So is there some sort of explanation ever given as to how they use Muggle money to buy their daughter's school supplies? Or if there's some sort of Muggle/Wizard gold exchange? I'm just curious as to whether Rowling ever wrote this in anywhere. Anyone? Dismas| (talk) 03:58, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Actually, Tom Riddle's finances are explained in the 6th book. It is said that there is a fund at Hogwarts for students who cannot afford to buy equipment. However, whether or not that applies to Hermione is questionable (her parents are dentists, so they probably make pretty good muggle money...) 24.1.137.20 22:17, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Hmm. This involves computers, but isn't really computing I think. Anyway, does anyone know how to kick someone out of a room you're administrator of in iSketch? I've looked many times, but I can't find it in the rules and instructions. I've been an administrator for a couple of user created rooms, and I know it's possible to kick someone out as I've seen it done, but I can never work out how. I don't see a button or option for it, so is there something you have to type? Hope somebody who knows is around.... :) Skittle 14:01, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
