Gringotts is the wizarding bank in the 'Harry Potter' novels. Gringotts is a magical bank located in Diagon Alley in the wizarding world of Harry Potter. It is owned and operated by goblins, and is the only place where wizards can exchange Muggle money for wizarding currency. The bank is also home to a vault where wizards can store their valuables.
Gringotts Wizarding Bank is located in a grand white-marble building in the Wizarding alley of Diagon Alley, London. The building's exterior is decorated with large white pillars, golden doors and a gigantic statue of a griffin on top. Gringotts is known for its tight security and high-tech vaults which are protected by enchanted creatures and curses. In the Harry Potter novels, it is the setting for several key moments, including the break-in by Harry, Ron, and Hermione in search of one of Voldemort's Horcruxes.
