And our quote of the week...

"--yet, sadly, accidental rudeness occurs alarmingly often. Best to say nothing at all, my dear man." 
-Dumbledore (sixth book)

I love this line. It shows so much of Dumbledore's character. You see simultaneously the funny, light hearted side of him; yet he is completely in control. He is able to wield power and still have a sense of humor. In case you don't remember this is when Dumbledore pays a visit to the Dursleys. I love the entire scene because it is very evident that Dumbledore is having fun and bullying the bullies at the same time. Well leave a comment if you have anything else you would like to add.

  1. This is a great quote! I love Dumbledore moments like this when he is being funny and almost joking, yet what he is saying is completely serious and he is actually suggesting that the person take his advice. I also love this scene because it turns the tables on the Dursleys, who are so used to being in control, to a state of embarrassment and being scared beyond their wits (which albeit, isn't very far) of Dumbledore because he is magical. It's great.
