"The headmaster has intimated that he would prefer fewer visits from 
me," she said coldly. "I am not the one to press my company upon 
those who do not value it. If Dumbledore chooses to ignore the 
warnings cards show-" - p.543


Alla:

I find that Dumbledore's attitude about Divination in general and 
Prophecy in particular still confuses me. I mean for someone who 
finds Divination to be such an unreliable branch of magic, he sure 
seemed to be awfully convinced about Prophecy coming true. Oh sure he 
gave all that speeech about prophecy only coming true, because 
Voldemort believed it, but then though he demonstrated that he 
believed it a lot plenty of times and in book 7 too.

So what does he really think about Divination?


"Dumbledore drank, and no sooner had he finished than he 
yelled, "KILL ME!"
"This - this one will! gasped Harry. "Just drink this ... It'll be 
over...all over! - p.573

Alla:

NO kidding Dumbledore. I was surprised though to find out that potion 
drinking scene still upsets me. I am very curious how I will feel 
about funeral. I used to shed a tear when Harry realises that Phoenix 
left Harry. I strongly suspect very different reaction this time, but 
we shall see.


And I think this is it for today
