Character
Griphook
Harry Potter·Gringotts Wizarding Bank·fictional character of the Harry Potter series
Griphook is a Gringotts goblin in the Harry Potter films. He first escorts Harry Potter to the wizarding bank's vaults, and years later, during the Second Wizarding War, agrees to help Harry, Ron and Hermione break into Gringotts in exchange for the Sword of Gryffindor.
Distrustful of wizardkind and insistent that goblin-made artefacts belong to goblins, he ultimately betrays the trio during the heist. This overview summarises his on-screen role; see the Timeline for a chronological account.
