    I don't think you'd be able to do that. It would be a rather outward display of magic to the muggles if you wave a wand around and cast spells in front of them.

    I guess it'd have to be somehting surreptitious.

    How about becoming a junkyard contractor for the entire world? We have enough landfills already. Just tell them that, for a large amount of money, you would take care of their junk problem as long as there were no questions asked.

    "Reducio!" and boom! The mile-wide, mile-deep junkyard is now the size of a soda can. Awesome? I certainly think so.

    But...noe questions asked.

    EDIT: Uh...do it at night. Not at daytime.

    Make a potion that cures AIDS/Cancer/etc, put it in pill form and sell it to a pharmaceutical company.

    The way I'd do it is take out large volume of one dollar bills, use a few spells to clean them up, make them a bit more crisp, modify them to look as $20 or $50 bills, open up an account and insert money a few thousand at a time from various branches as to avoid as much suspicion as possivle. Finally when the money was all inserted, transfer to another bank and withdraw. Money laundering at its best. Also, I'd do the modification so that the serial numbers would be random and non-sequential.

    I would get several hundred dollar bills and charm them to activate when they touch another hundred dollar bill and only transport hundred dollar bills, with a bin/bins at my house where they are set to arrive at. I would then deposit said hundred bills (one each) at various banks where I have some accounts set up at. The bills will then be counted my accounts will be accredited the amount and then the bills will be sent on their way until they will eventually come in contact with other hundred dollar bills, most likely between 1-100 other such bills because thats how much are in one clip at a time.

    In that thing you call a closet. Better watch out,
    Just use Alohamora on locked banks at night, deactivate the camreas where an invisibility cloak and steal a load of money. hell u can do the same to a clerk at a grocery store.

    Obliviate him after u take the money, and then blow the camrea.

    No, even easier: Apparate into a locked vault with an invisibility cloak on, remove money, create an illusion of the money still being there, and leave. It gives you quite a while to cover your tracks, and nobody would know someone had even been there - if you wore gloves.

    I'm sure that lifetime in Azkaban will make that money you stole worth it... Seems like all but 2 or 3 people want to spend some time in Azkaban raped by Fenrir Greyback just to make some quick cash...

    wwell, you could jsut by a massive vat of good whiskey or something (i mean GOOD stuff, aged in oak double malt type stuff) empty the majority of it out into other barrells or bottles and then use a refilling charm on it, like Harry does with the bottle of whatever it is with Slughorn and Hagrid.

    Okay then, how about using a mind control spell that isn't as powerful as imperio that won't get you into a hell of a lot of trouble. Simple as that.

    Why don't you just use a polyjuice to look like someone famous, go and change the address that all money is sent to, then obliviate the famous person so that they think they are getting the money.

    that would be illegal unless you are a ministry obliviator and they had seen you do magic and you were only obliviating the memories of magic, which means your idea wouldn't work.
