Well you could just take one galleon, sell it to the muggles (current princes for gold are over 400 an ounce so you would make a good profit). Then go to Gringotts, change the muggle money into galleons, repeat

 

invisibility cloak + alohamora=anything you want

 

or if you want to do it the "honest" way, the books speak of Mrs Weasley making sauce pour out her wand. just market a range of "homemade sauces, with fresh organic goodness" or some such rubbish. You'd make a killing, especially if they tasted nice.

 

Its a freaking muggle! If they see you taking out a wand and casting spells they will say:

"Oooh look at that nice crazy retard, whats he doing. Your a crazy retard, arent you? Yes u are, yes u are"

 

Are you serious?

If you're making sauces by magic, you'd make them behind closed doors. It's not like you'd stand in the middle of the street shouting "Hey, check out what my stick can do!"

Mordecai: Great idea. I wonder, though...if you made a company out of it, wouldn't health/union people come by to check the standard of production...you know, the cleanliness and whatnot?

Then, you'd have to make it in a country where no one cares...a lot of work just to make sauce.

 

Why the hell couldn't you just do: "ACCIO MONEY!!!"

There problem solved!

 

Erm.... You could always just take credit for other peoples work and obliviate them.

Also known as the Lockheart Method.

 

Too much work. Why dont you just invent a spell that gives u shitloads of money. Or the simpleway:


accio gold!!!!then a huge block of gold falls on your head... but what u gonna do about it?

 

Apparate (under an invisibility cloak) into a vault. Take stuff. Leave. Not that hard, just have to hope that no wizards work there.

 

no, you just use mild compulsion and illusion charms to make it look nice and clean. Or, you set everything up as it woul be to actually make the sauces, then you jsut do it by magic, and when folk come by to visit, switch on the machinery.

 

Guys there are billions of ways you could steal from muggels with magic. I think the real question should be what’s a one hundred percent LEGAL way to make shit loads of money in muggle world. And I think advertising some potions as natural cures for some things would be a perfect idea to make millions of dollars in a relatively short time.

Just as a side note for all those people talking about transfiguring money…I was always under the impression that what ever you transfigured was only temporary. And if it wasn’t the WHOLE economy of the wizarding world would be just non existent. Why buy something when you can just transfigure this rock into it. Its retarded and I sadly think its something JK would write into her work….

 

how about becoming a lawyer? use legilimency on the accused to ask the right questions to make him look stupid and if you still think you lose the case then a mild compulsion on the jury should do!
in no time you are the most successful lawyer out there and get shitloads of money!

 

O, thats good, thats very good. You could also sell veritaserum to the mob and mafia and say that its a 100% accurate truth serum for weeding out leaks and such.

 

Since everyone forgets these are supposed to be legal ways to make money, so you don't end up in Azkaban (hence no stealing)... So how about transfiguring a bunch of rocks into a giant oil reserve? $70 a barrel adds up.

 

I think the Arabian wizards have already cornered that market and will take out any interlopers in their business.

How about hand soap that makes you obsessive compulsive about washing your hands. Then you could also sell lotions for when their hands dry up. Or a Rograine-like product that regrows your hair.

 

Alright, I know everyone's doing the accio gold crap but so am I.

Once upon a time, a long long time ago in... galaxy? Nevermind... it was like in seventh grade or something and we went gold panning. It wouldn't be illegal to summon up a crapload of gold from the ground after you've paid like 20 bucks to pan as much as you want. I could just imagine the reactions of the guys running the place.

 

Nice, legal way of making money quickly. Become an insurance company and secretly feed your clients the good luck potion thing. Also lower your insurance cost for everything to like $10 a month. Once the ball starts rolling people will be jumping to get your insurance and the money will start coming in thick and fast.

 

Oh please! A perfectly legal way of making a shit load of money is selling the Pepper-Up potion. I.e. The cure for the common cold.
Perfectly legal - if you don't count the International Statute of Secrecy - and easy way to make money. All you need is some averagely skilled potion makers and hey, presto! Instant money.

 

how about opening a special effects / animation studio?
you hire some wizards specialised in illusions buy a camera and save millions of dollars you would normally need for rendering those pictures?
of course you bill it anyway
