Biography[]
Philosopher's Stone[]
In 1991, Griphook took Rubeus Hagrid and Harry Potter to their Gringotts vaults. He held the door open for them and then whistled for a cart at the train tracks. He opened Harry's vault with a golden key and then took Hagrid to collect the Philosopher's Stone in Vault 713. Hagrid wondered whether Griphook could drive the cart slower, but the cart only had one speed.[1]
When Griphook opened Hagrid's vault by stroking the door, Harry asked him what happened to thieves. Griphook told him they would be pulled into the door and trapped there. He then told Harry with a grin that they only check the doors once every ten years. Griphook then took them back to ground level.[1]
