Goblin's revenge |
The sword of Gryffindor in Gringotts is a fake. What is the revenge? This is a goblin sword, made by goblins (we later find out it was taken from goblins), and only goblins know what a real goblin sword is!
With their metal-working ability, the goblins in Harry Potter somewhat resemble the dwarves in Lord of the Rings.
