Quote of the Week

"What happened down in the dungeons between you and Professor Quirrell is a complete secret, so, naturally the whole school knows."-Dumbledore, Sorcerer's Stone

Ah, the first book. This was Dumbledore's first post-trauma speech with Harry. This quote above all shows why he was so well loved, and so good at what he did. He understood his students. Somehow his honesty makes this speech so much more powerful. You wouldn't expect him to tell Harry this, but then again, why wouldn't he? It is one of the qualities that he shares with Luna: the power of honesty. As we see later, he isn't always honest, but here I find it interesting. I think that it somehow gave him some credibility, and it laid the foundation of such an interesting character.
