Why is the Gringotts wizarding bank ran by hooked nosed little goblins that love gold?

And in the movie when harry potter first enters the bank there's a giant 6 pointed star of David carved into the center of the bank's floor what does this mean?

Because Goblins are hooked nose greedy gremlins according to popular and centuries old myths and legends about them and Gringotts bank was filmed in the Australia House in London in the Exhibition Hall, built in 1918 and those stars are part of Australia's Commonwealth Star's original design, which had 6 points at the time the Australia House was being constructed.

It's so odd how leftists try to make these insinuations and then actually believe they aren't the racists.

a 6 pointed star does not equal the star of david, that's just an ignorant outside perspective lol.

It's actually the original design of the Australian Commonwealth Star because that's what it was at the time the Australia House in London was being constructed, and that is where Gringotts was filmed.

But the commonwealth star of Australia is seven pointed and the star on the floor of the building is clearly six pointed?

The original design was a 6 pointed star. Construction on the Exhibition Hall began before they changed it to a 7 pointed star.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Australia

The Commonwealth Star, also known as the Federation Star,[3] originally had six points, representing the six federating colonies. In 1908, a seventh point was added to symbolise the Territory of Papua, and any future territories.[3][6] Another rationale for the change was to match the star used on the Coat of Arms, which was created in the same year. The Commonwealth Star does not have any official relation to Beta Centauri, despite the latter's brightness and location in the sky; however, the 1870 version of the flag of South Australia featured the "pointer" stars, Alpha and Beta Centauri.[7][8]

The Australians sent a delegation in 1906 and the Australia House began construction after their visit. In 1908 the 7th point of the star was changed but due to how long communication took at the time the 6 pointed star was part of the design for the Australia House.

Ask Rowling. Stop trying to insinuate they're jews. You need to realize something about Rowling, she's not ultra creative. Much of Harry Potter is an amalgam of other sources. Most of the spell names for instance are either just straight up Latin or some form of pseudo-Latin.

Goblins in her world are ripped pretty much description for description from well-established European mythos. There are other kinds of goblins in European folklore, of course, but these are just one of them. They are not Jews, they are not American Banker/Wall Street Jews, they aren't any kind of jew. They're a fudging goblin ripped from mythology. Ok? Great.

Because they are the miners who have the gold and make the best items in the world. Goblin-made items are the most sought after items and wizarding families are willing to pay large sums of money to get them.

Also because it was a compromise after a Goblin Rebellion in the 1600s because they proved that they were strong enough to fight wizards fairly without wands. Goblins weren't represented in the Wizengamot and wanted representation and wizards didn't want to give representation to non-humans. They gave control of the banks to the goblins to end the fighting.

Wizards have tried taking it back but the goblins are strong enough to prevent that from happening. They have a lot of power over the wizarding economy because of this and have become their own unique and separate society who dwell alongside the Ministry and the Wizarding World. Goblins have their own government, culture and leadership structure.

A lot of times wizards and goblins clash because of cultural differences. Goblins believe whoever makes an item owns it and people buying it are really just renting said item to be returned to the goblins family upon the witch or wizard's death whereas wizards believe if you sell something that ownership is transferred. Naturally the goblins and the wizards conflict over the incredibly valuable family heirloom that both families want and both feel justified in keeping.

I never said anything like that and quite frankly your post is clearly anti semantic and off topic, please don't bring racism into this discussion.
