Has anyone noticed how much PURPLE, or different shades of it, ex:
lilac, mauve, are used in the books? Dumbledore is especially
surrounded by purple, purple sleeping bags, purple robes, purple
chairs, etc. Lockhart's favourite colour is lilac. The nightbus is
purple and so are their uniforms on the bus. There are also some
letters that were wrote on purple parchment. Seems to me in Goblet
of Fire, but I would need to check, Ron's dress robes are mauve.
I am curious as to why this colour continues to turn-up on a regular
basis in all the books. I have associated it with "good" people, but
I have not really figured out more than that. Maybe it is just
J.K.'s favourite colour.
Tell me what you think,
Beth
