Quote of the Week

"I make mistakes like the next man. In fact, being — forgive me — rather cleverer than most men, my mistakes tend to be correspondingly huger."
- Dumbledore, to Harry [ch.10, HBP]

I love this quote because it shows the underlying character of Dumbledore that Harry fails to see. He thinks that Dumbledore is a genius, the best guy in the world, and that he is flawless. He is shrouded by his admiration to see Dumbledore's faults, and had to deal with them the hard way once he died. This quote shows that Dumbledore had flaws and admitted them, though maybe not to fully listening ears. Everyone thought that Dumbledore was a great man- which he completely was- but without his mistakes.
JKR shows us that even the greatest of people can make mistakes, and its hard to find a 'perfect person'.

Mischief Managed.
