[HPFGU-OTChatter] Nicolas Flamel in The Da Vinci Code

[Cristina Rebelo Ângelo]

From: kp0027 

I've been a lurker here on the HPfGU list for a little while, but this
weekend I came across a coincidence that (to my knowledge) no one 
has pointed out on this board.  I was reading Dan Brown's The Da Vinci
Code (TDVC) when a familiar name appeared.  In TDVC, Brown lists 
the names of the Grand Masters of an acient secret society called the
Priory of Sion.  The essential purpose of this society was/is to 
guard the location of the holy grail, and in the preface of the 
book, Dan Brown states that what he writes about the society has been
researched and backed up.  Nicolas Flamel is listed as one of their 
Grand Masters.  We know that Nicolas Flamel was a real person.  I 
wonder if it was common knowledge that he was tied to this 
religious group?  Has anyone else out there read TDVC and noticed 
this cross reference?  Anyone have any thoughts about it?

[Cristina Angelo] Sorry, didn't know where to snip without cutting out the
sense... 
 
I for one didn't know it, am still considering whether I will have time to
read TDVC. But Flamel was real (or should it be "is"?...), and searching for
immortality sounds like a good idea to know whoever is protecting the Holy
Graal is reliable... the nobody does the job as good as ourselves sort of
thing... 
 
(got me thinking about Indana Jones, where immortality was reached from
drinking from the Holy Graal itself, but with the itch of having to say put
in the cave... which Indy didn't do, renouncing immortality, I believe
because of love for his father... ah, love... recurrent...)
 
Interesting, though...Dumbeldore says Flamel decided to go on to that next
great adventure, and that the stone was destroyed. But what if... Dumbledore
himself... okay, he is a well organized mind... you know... well, mixing
Spielberg and Rowling doesn't work very well, and I'm not even sure what the
Holy Graal means (for me, it's one thing Jesus held, which is grand in
itself, but it's not like I believe it has magical powers greater than God
Who is right beside me in every thing I do), is it immortality, love... but
what if we mixed all this together and said: *that's* what's in that room in
the MoM? And Dumbledore, being a well organized mind and not wanting to
stick around too long, had it from Flamel and put it there?
 
Naaah. Too much mixing.
 
Anyway, just my thoughts :)

"Quand on n'a que l'amour/ Pour tracer un chemin/ Et forcer le destin/ A
chaque carrefour
Quand on n'a que l'amour/ Pour parler aux canons/ Et rien qu'une chanson/
Pour coinvancre un tambour
Alors sans avoir rien/ Que la force d'aimer/ Nous aurons dans nos mains/
Amis le monde entier"
