Harry Potter Pensieve Memory Set

Product Information

Horace Slughorn was ashamed that he had given Tom Riddle information about how to make a Horcrux, so he tampered with the memory to cast himself in a better light. That memory appeared to have "congealed" as if it had "gone bad" in the bottle, and there was a strange fog over the scene ( HBP17). With the help of the potion Felix Felicis, Harry was able to prey on Slughorn's guilt and persuade him to hand over the real memory ( HBP22, HBP23). Despite the guilt of Crouch junior and the Lestranges, this more closely resembles a lynching than a just hearing. The Pensieve was enchanted to recreate memories so that they become re-liveable, taking every detail stored in the subconscious and recreating it faithfully. Once memories were siphoned into the Pensieve, a witch or wizard could enter them by dipping your head in the water and view the memory from a third-person point of view, almost as if travelling into the past. However, since it's just a memory and not actual time travel, the user of the Pensieve was non-participant, meaning that their presence had no effect on anything that happened in the memory. Even more difficult than the recreation of memories was the use of a Pensieve to examine and sort thoughts and ideas, and very few wizards have the ability to do so. The silvery light was coming from the basin's contents, which were like nothing Harry had ever seen before. He could not tell whether the substance was liquid or gas. It was a bright, whitish silver, and it was moving ceaselessly; the surface of it became ruffled like water beneath wind, and then, like clouds, separated and swirled smoothly. It looked like light made liquid - or like wind made solid - Harry couldn't make up his mind.

From the experiences of Harry's classmates over the years, we know that medical magic can be used to mend broken bones, including broken noses (Neville's, OP36, was repaired by Pomfrey afterward). Why does Bagman in the present day have a nose that was apparently broken but not set properly? (The same question, of course, can be asked about Albus Dumbledore.) 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. Harry looked around more carefully. The room, as he had suspected when observing it from above, was almost certainly underground - more of a dungeon than a room, he thought. Again, note that Dumbledore apparently could not have seen this at the time, which raises the question of how the incident was recorded by the Pensieve.This chapter, thanks to Karkaroff's testimony, is one of the main sources of information about the Death Eaters and their crimes during the first war against Voldemort. Others include GF27 and OP9. The obvious reason for Dumbledore to ask this question at this point is that he is following the line of thought Harry is shown pursuing. A more sinister reason, as will be demonstrated the following Christmas ( OP21), might be that Dumbledore wished to learn whether Harry was seeing through Voldemort's eyes. 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. Amortentia is the most powerful love potion in the world. It is recognizable by its distinctive mother-of-pearl sheen and by the fact that its steam rises in characteristic spirals. The potion smells differently to different people according to what attracts them ( HBP9). References from the canon

Potter and Chang! ….Urgh, Chang, I don’t think much of your taste … at least Diggory was good-looking!” ( OP25) History Bob Ogden’s memory of trying to arrest Morfin Gaunt for hexing a Muggle, and meeting his father Marvolo and sister Merope Gaunt ( HBP10) Putting our information from GF and OP together, one of these men is Rodolphus Lestrange (Bellatrix's husband), and the other is his brother Rabastan, but we don't quite have enough information to tell which is which. We have heard the evidence against you. The four of you stand accused of capturing an Auror - Frank Longbottom - and subjecting him to the Cruciatus Curse, believing him to have knowledge of the present whereabouts of your exiled master, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named -"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? Harry has also been occasionally watching events in real time through a mental connection existing between him and Voldemort. As these mostly play out when Harry is asleep, he still believes these are just bad dreams. Harry's mental connection to Voldemort may become his most valuable information avenue, as he is viewing things that are currently happening, though he has yet to completely utilize this, being previously unsure if what he saw was actually real; also, the information he does receive is sporadic and incomplete, making it difficult to analyze. There is also a danger that Voldemort can learn as much through Harry if he also discovers this link; it is probably only a matter of time before he does. Fan Theory: When fans first encountered “Snape’s Worst Memory” there was a huge debate over whether it was the “truth” or merely Snape’s warped view of the Marauders: James, Sirius, Peter, and Lupin. By then, fans knew that Snape despised Sirius and Lupin, and disliked Harry for looking so much like James, so it seemed possible that his memory was "colored" by his feelings and couldn't possibly be objective. Also, Snape had removed three memories and Harry only saw one, surely there was more to the story. Surely he had done something to deserve what James did to him. A few days prior to the Third Task of the Triwizard Tournament, Harry Potter had a vision in Divination class. [9] As he had been told to report such things to Dumbledore, Harry hastened to the Headmaster's office. When he arrived, he overheard the final stages of an argument concerning the disappearance of Bartemius Crouch Snr. Upon being left alone by the adults, Harry first found the Pensieve in a private cupboard with the door ajar. There were already memories in it that Dumbledore had been reviewing prior to the arrival of Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge. [2]

Why has Neville never told anyone about what happened to his parents? How might this knowledge change Harry's relationship with Neville? And there was a third disappearance, one which the Ministry, I regret to say, do not consider of any importance, for it concerns a Muggle. His name was Frank Bryce, he lived in the village where Voldemort's father grew up, and he has not been seen since last August. You see, I read the Muggle newspapers, unlike most of my Ministry friends."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. You’re probably thinking that this is going to be a very short article if all we know is that Silvanus Kettleburn retired and had some nasty run-ins with magical creatures. However – just like Dumbledore collected memories to share with Harry in the Pensieve – we’ve done a little investigating of our own, and found some information on the Hogwarts teacher, shared with us by J.K. Rowling herself. What was he like? Pansy Parkinson is a Slytherin girl in Harry Potter’s year ( PS9). The Parkinson surname is on the “ Sacred Twenty-Eight” list of pureblood wizarding families ( DL). Personal traits Slughorn’s memory of Tom Riddle asking how to make a Horcrux, both the tampered version and the clear version ( HBP17, HBP23) Pensieve is portmanteau, combining the words ‘pensive’ and ‘sieve.’ The latter is an object in which something may be sorted, drained or separated, and ‘Pensive’ is derived from French, and originally from the Latin ‘pensare,’ meaning ‘to ponder,’ and in common English usage means ‘thoughtful’ or ‘reflective;’ thus a ‘pensieve’ allows for the sorting of thoughts, or memories. Pensive can also refer to a tense mood someone seems to be in, and indeed many of the memories Harry views in it are of tense or awkward moments.
