3 Things Harry Potter Can Teach You About Money

     Harry Potter is great because it can teach you about all sorts of things. Love, loyalty, and bravery are just a few of the lessons that the Harry Potter series has to teach. But did you know that Harry Potter can also teach you about money?

Don't Gamble Away Your Wealth
     Something else Harry Potter teaches us is not to gamble away your money.
