Hello Imamommy,
Dumbledore doesn't always get things right, and in OoP he's the reason it all 
goes wrong. I think his quote was used because Harry was spending too 
much time staring into an enchanted mirror. I prefer the quote from Aunt 
Agatha in The Guardian Of Time, when she's telling the young hero not to 
carry the weight  of the world on his shoulders 24/7: "If you're never a child, 
how will you ever be an adult?". I think that gem applies through your whole 
life, at times. She's a fabulous 40-something character, very positive and 
unintimidateable (that may not be a real word, but it jolly well should be). 
TGoT is the sister book to my favourite one.

Hello Shalimar,
You can get The Guardian Of Time (author is C C Chambers) anywhere, and 
if you look on www.amazon.co.uk you can see lots of reviews and probably 
get it cheaper. I loved it - it's full of funny, strong and very individual female 
characters, and I haven't seen that in too many stories - usually the guys 
have the world revolving around them, but not here. Harry Potter doesn't 
have very amusing / exciting female players, so to stumble across a book that 
really goes t town with them is such good find. Agatha oozes classy stylish 
cool, Naomi and Claudie are mad flappers, Feya is overloaded with caffeine 
all the time and Andie is a deaf girl who the lead character is in love with (first 
love, ahhhh!) and those are the ones who my friends laugh about.
There's also a dictionary at the back of Flapper Talk, which is the reason I 
keep slipping into the habit of making long words out of existing words!

Sandra (crossing her fingers that you do read it, because I'd love to be able 
to waffle about it!)
