I hope Harry and Hermy get together too. But what's this about Dumbeldore? Maybe I missed it but what's a demiguise?
from the Harry Potter Lexicon (great site, check it out):
Demiguise
XXXX
The Demiguise is a peaceful, herbivorous creature that can make itself invisible. It resembles an ape with large, black eyes and long, silky hair. This hair can be woven into Invisibility Cloaks. The Demiguise is native to the Far East (FB).
Dumbledore doesn't need an invisibility cloak to make himself invisible, as we learned from PS/SS. He also has long, silky hair.
JKR says about the link between book 2 and book 6 on her website:
Rather, it relates to a discovery Harry made in 'Chamber' that foreshadows something that he finds out in 'Prince'
It is only the last sentence of the whole answer by her in the FAQ section.
http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/faq_view.cfm?id=56
In that answer she used short words for the books: Stone, Chamber, Azkaban, Goblet, Phoenix and Prince. Now I was thinking what If this last sentence was a hint about whats going to happen in book 6. ✅
Read the sentence again, but now take the real meanings of the two words in quotes. 🙂 It makes sense.
What do you all think?
From the words 'Chamber' and 'Prince' in that sentence, JKR actually refers to the books. But I was talking about If we take the "original" but story related meanings of these two words. ( and not take them as books' names)
The sentence will look like this:
Rather, it relates to a discovery Harry made in the chamber that foreshadows something that he finds out in the prince.
Harry discovered something in the chamber of secrets... which has something special to do with the half blood prince. (whoever he is)
Now what did Harry discover in the chamber? 🙄
i think there is something realted to the phonix...as i have mentioned how did the phonix enter the chamber through one of the pillars...Anything special we the pillar?....Maybe there is something special with statue of Salazar Syleterin...I think its some of these things that MAY foreshadow something in "Prince"
but the phoenix can just apparate (sorry for the spelling) and disapparate! that must be how he got into the chamber. that's how dumbledore disappeared in book 5 when fudge&co were after him (right..?) weird, why is it possible for the bird to do that, and not for normal people (as hermy has said for like a milion times!)
Fawkes [1] is the pet phoenix of Albus Dumbledore, who uses what appears to be one of Fawkes' scarlet body-feathers as a quill (OP38). Fawkes unlike other Phoenix's has gold plumage rather than red . The wands of both Harry and Voldemort contain feathers from Fawkes' tail, phoenix tail-feathers being a powerful magical substance according to Mr. Ollivander. When Fawkes is asked to keep watch and give warning, or deliver messages, he leaves a single golden tail feather, which Dumbledore, for one, is careful not to leave lying around (OP22).
As a phoenix approaches its Burning Day, it resembles a half-plucked turkey and makes gagging noises. Its eyes become very dull and its feathers fall out. Then suddenly it will burst into flames and turn to a pile of ashes on the floor. From this pile of ashes rises a newborn phoenix, small and ugly. In a matter of days it becomes a fully grown, beautiful phoenix. However, Fawkes has also been through this regeneration as the result of being hit with a Killing Curse intended for Dumbledore (OP37), so the effect is not limited to his normal Burning Days. Curiously enough, Fawkes was not so affected by the gaze of the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets; given the rarity of both species, it is possible that no such confrontation had ever before occurred, so it isn't surprising that Scamander does not record the phoenix's immunity. In fact, given that the gentle nature of phoenixes is well known (FB), it's noteworthy that Fawkes entered into direct combat with the basilisk at all, as phoenixes are not predators and have little need for fighting skills even in their own defense.
The Chamber itself is a huge temple-like room with pillars and carved serpents. There is a massive statue of Salazar Slytherin at the far end from which the Basilisk comes when summoned. Harry battled and defeated the Basilisk here on May 29, 1993, with the help of Fawkes the Phoenix and the old school Sorting Hat.
I think these bits of information will come out to be very useful. I got these information from lexicon
i got few more questions i got form lexicon
Where did he go after being removed from his post as headmaster of Hogwarts in 1993 and again in 1996?
Is he really 150 years old? His famous wizard card shows no dates. If he is that old, Marchbanks must be positively ancient!
Can Dumbledore travel between his portraits like past Headmasters and Headmistresses? Can he travel between Chocolate Frog cards? After all, when Harry first saw a Dumbledore card, the Headmaster's image left the card shortly thereafter. And when Dumbledore was being kicked out of various organizations such as the Wizengamot and the International Confederation of Wizards, he reportedly told Bill that he was only concerned that they didn't remove him from the Chocolate Frog cards.
"Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!" I have heard some rather ridiculous interpretations of these words, but these stretch credibility to the breaking point. Rowling uses this offbeat bit of droll humor by Dumbledore as a way of introducing us to his personality, much like the joke he begins to tell at the feast at the beginning of the 1994-5 school year and the offhand comment about finding a room full of chamberpots while chatting with Igor at the Yule Ball. It is highly unlikely that Dumbledore is trying to dish out secret messages here. The story simply doesn't support that kind of interpretation.
What do the entwined snakes which come out of that little silver pot in his office mean?
Dumbledore did not work on the Philosopher's Stone with Flamel, or more precisely, he didn't work on the Stone which has kept Flamel alive for six hundred years (since Dumbledore wasn't born yet when that Stone would have had to have been created). The card simply says that he was Flamel's partner in alchemy, not that Dumbledore had anything to do with that Stone.
Dumbledore is probably not the same person as the bartender at the Hog's Head, but his brother Aberforth might be.
Does anyone noe anything about Grindelwald, the dark wizard who was defeated by dumbeldore
I still think that Godric Griffindor or Salizar Slitherin should not be discounted in the debate about who is the half blood prince. I don't remember reading anywhere that all of the founders were pure blood. All we know is that they were the best wizards of their time, and we know that half bloods can be just as good as pure bloods.
The fact that Slitherin wanted to make the whole of the school pure blood doesn't necessarily mean he was pure blood himself, just look a Voldemort, he is a half blood and seems to hate other half bloods.
Voldermort hates muggleborns because of what his father did to him. Then he was placed into a muggle orphange that did not take to good care of him, so he grew up thinking every muggle was like that.
Yes I know some people in the same spot would know better and know that not everyone is bad, but he didn't.
