Harry Potter Pensieve Memory Set

No," said Dumbledore, his voice full of a bitterness Harry had never heard there before. "They are insane. They are both in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. I believe Neville visits them, with his grandmother, during the holidays. They do not recognize him." At the death of Severus Snape during the Battle of Hogwarts, he left multiple memories from his childhood to Harry. Harry captured them when they leaked out of Snape's body in a flask conjured by Hermione Granger. When they returned to the castle, Harry secretly proceeded to Dumbledore's office, where he watched Snape's memories. [3] Ludo Bagman, you have been brought here in front of the Council of Magical Law to answer charges relating to the activities of the Death Eaters," said Mr. Crouch. "We have heard the evidence against you, and are about to reach our verdict. Do you have anything to add to your testimony before we pronounce judgment?"

As the Pensieve is supposed to predate the school and was also found in the spot where the school was later erected could mean that the spot on which Hogwarts stands had previously been the location of an ancient practice of magic and could also be some of the magic that is imbued into the castle and its grounds. Love potions are actually banned at Hogwarts, so why was Slughorn allowed to have a cauldron-full in his N.E.W.T. Potions class? It's possible that Dumbledore allowed it so Harry would hear Slughorn's lecture on the dangers of love potions before he showed him the memories about Merope Gaunt and the sad childhood of Tom Riddle. She made fun of Harry’s reaction to the Dementors but later showed considerable concern when Draco was gored by a hippogriff during their first Care of Magical Creatures lesson during their third year ( PA6, PA7).A little further comment is germane also to Bertha Jorkins' appearance in the Pensieve. Dumbledore seems to be implying that Bertha is the sort of person who would allow her curiosity to lead her into trouble. We learn, later in this book, that she had discovered that Barty Crouch was still alive, and had her memory massively altered as a result of that discovery. She had also strayed into Voldemort's clutches, and had been interrogated and killed as a result of that. As we see neither of these incidents directly, we cannot be certain, but we suspect from what we are told that both of these cases involved curiosity on Bertha's part.

Took a bit of me with him, though," whispered Moody to Harry's right. Harry looked around at him once more, and saw him indicating the large chunk out of his nose to Dumbledore. Why does Dumbledore refuse to tell Harry the reason he trusts Snape? Is Dumbledore's trust warranted? This would have served a dual purpose: to attempt to persuade Frank to talk to spare Alice further pain, and to force information out of Alice herself. As Neville's gran will remark during their next Christmas visit to the closed ward, Alice too was an Auror ( OP23).

In the books, the Pensieve is said to be able to sit on a table, however, in the fourth film, the Hogwarts Pensieve is much larger and is kept in a separate cabinet. This is contradicted by the sixth film, where it can sit on the table and looks as if it is made out of metal instead of stone. This contradiction is resolved in the eighth film, when Harry goes to the headmaster's office and removes the metal dish from the stone basin before watching Severus Snape's memories.

Lily Potter: " Not Harry, please, no, don't kill him, take me, kill me instead —" Lord Voldemort: " This is my last warning —" Lily Potter: " Not Harry! Please... have mercy... Not Harry! Not Harry ! Please — I'll do anything...." — Lily standing between Voldemort and her infant son [src] On the surface, Bagman is likeable and Crouch is not, but look at the facts. Bagman has been giving information to the Death Eaters, and is being let off with a slap on the wrist because nobody - not even Moody - expects him to use his brain to act like a responsible adult. How many people were hurt or killed by this irresponsible celebrity's actions?

To the uncritical reader, the appearance of Bertha Jorkins in the Pensieve might seen unrelated. We note, however, that it immediately follows Dumbledore's comments about curiosity not being a sin, but requiring care. The incident which Bertha is complaining about is a case where she was jinxed because of excessive curiosity. We also note that she is close to the surface of the Pensieve, being able to rise to visibility so easily. There must be many cases in Dumbledore's memory of students who let their curiosity send them into trouble; one of them is, in fact, standing in front of him at that instant. Bertha's appearance does indicate that she is, for whatever reason, right near the top of Dumbledore's current thoughts. Dumbledore's mention of multiple unexplained disappearances might well be the reason she is on his mind. Also, in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry is shown inside the memory and watching from a third-person perspective. In the film adaptations of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, the memories in the pensive are shown from a first-person perspective. As Snape was apprehended by Aberforth Dumbledore before the full prophecy could be made, only part of the prophecy was reported to Voldemort. [4] Voldemort learned that there were two boys that met the requirements of the prophecy: Aside from Harry Potter, the other was Neville Longbottom, who was born on 30 July, 1980, to a pair of Aurors who, like James and Lily Potter, had directly defied Voldemort on three separate occasions. [3] Silvanus Kettleburn – or Professor Kettleburn to his students – was the Care of Magical Creatures teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, before he retired and was replaced by Rubeus Hagrid in Harry’s third year. Professor Kettleburn might not have appeared in the Pensieve – after which this article series is named – but you may need to take a second look at your memories to remember reading about him. When did we meet him? it was a very beautiful, circular room, lined with pictures of previous headmasters and headmistresses of Hogwarts, all of whom were fast asleep, their chests rising and falling gently.

Note that JKR has employed an interesting means of providing exposition to the reader: Karkaroff, spilling his guts to the Ministry of Magic in his desperation to avoid a life sentence in Azkaban. If Dementors don't provide a plausible motivation for a character to tell everything he knows, it's hard to say what does. So the wizarding world's criminal justice system includes the concept of plea-bargaining, something confirmed later ( OP27) by Willy Widdershins having been allowed to talk his way out of punishment for his Muggle-baiting activities. Pensieves are very rare and powerful magical items. They are intensely personal as well, since memories often hold recollections of things one would wish to hide or forget. The Pensieve of a powerful witch or wizard is typically buried with them when they die. However, the Hogwarts Pensieve does not belong to a particular person but to the school. It contains centuries of magical memories left behind by previous Heads and serves as a magical reference source. The Headmaster or Headmistress literally has access to the wisdom of the ages. Albus Dumbledore: " The thing that smashed was merely the record of the prophecy kept by the Department of Mysteries. But the prophecy was made to somebody, and that person has the means of recalling it perfectly." Harry Potter: " Who heard it?" Albus Dumbledore: " I did. On a cold, wet night sixteen years ago, in a room above the bar at the Hog's Head Inn. I had gone there to see an applicant for the post of Divination teacher...." — Albus Dumbledore recalling the night the prophecy was made [src] Severus Snape was indeed a Death Eater. However, he rejoined our side before Lord Voldemort's downfall and turned spy for us, at great personal risk."In this particular memory, Crouch remarks that Karkaroff is giving evidence before "the Ministry of Magic", rather than, say, specifically the Council of Magical Law or the Wizengamot. Given Moody's presence, it seems quite likely that some of those attending are not members of the body making the official decision on Karkaroff's fate, so the size of the audience may not reflect the size of the body making the decision. Harry overheard one second-year girl assuring another that Fudge was now lying in St. Mungo's with a pumpkin for a head. Japanese: ペンシーブ(phonetic representation of the English "pensieve"), later, 憂いの篩 (urei no furui) (lit. "a sieve for worries") (Appears in the phonetic representation, uncomprehensible, until Harry asks about it in the narrative and its function is revealed) Even as Harry watched, the chains on the arms of the chair glowed suddenly gold and snaked their way up Karkaroff's arms, binding him there.
