The Ultimate Harry Potter Discussion thread ***including Book 6 Spoilers***

But think of it this way: Destroying it would mean killing a friend, and where hogwarts is supposed to be one of, if not the safest places it the world, it doesnt seem like anyone could get it there. But i agree, i guess destroying it would have made sense. Also, since it seems the elixer had to be drunk regulary, shouldnt flamel and his wife have had to come to hogwarts and drink some? Also- i have been thinking about things dumbledore did in book 1. I think it was odd he returned harry's cloak, like he wanted him to go down to the stone, but he must have known harry was in some danger. Also- remember why dumbledore wasnt at hogwarts? He was flying to the ministry! Gimme a break! He could have been there in a second of he appareted, or used floo powder, but he took basicly the longest method.

In the words of Hermione and Snape. "You can't apparate in these grounds"

ohh duh! i had assumed they meant you cant apperate onto hogwarts grounds, but i guess you cant apperate off them either

Who's mother?

voldermort's mother.

ah gotcha now Time for another question I can't remember seeing before. Has it ever been mentioned what Dumbledore's wand is made of? What its core is?

We've speculated that since he discovered12 uses of dragon's blood that his wand was probably made out of a dragon's heartstring.

Hmm. Krum had that I think. Dumbledore is an extremely powerful wizard and all, so my first thought was that he had an extremely powerful wand like Voldemort and Harry. Perhaps he just has something simple like dragon's heartstring or unicorn hair. Ooh perhaps unicorn blood?

I doubt that a unicorn blood wand could be used for anything good, as it would have been made at the suffering of something so pure.

You can go to hogsmeade and apparate. Maybe dumbledore is one of those wizards who prefers not to apparate.

Unicorn tears? Ooh what about Centaurs? Dumbledore gathered Umbridge from the Centaurs without a smudge on his robes. Perhaps that may have something to do with it.

I don't think you can use a liquid as a wand core. I think it has to be solid. A liquid one would be heavier.

Hmm. I wasn't thinking of that. Unless a congealed version could be used, or the wand soaked in it?

Well, dumbledore probably has their respect as he has been at hogwarts for many years and no doubt got to know them.

Presumably, but Firenze was banished for agreeing to help Dumbledore. I don't know anymore. A Harrimarillion sort of thing had better be coming from JKR
