Harry Potter Moment of the Week [54]


This is a meme hosted by Uncorked Thoughts.The aim of this meme is to share with fellow bloggers a character, spell, chapter, object or quote from the books/ films/ J. K. Rowling herself or anything Potter related! She is picking a topic within HP for us to focus on each week and then if anyone wants to take part feel free! All she asks is to link back to her blog :). There is now a full list of the topics to come here.

    Favorite Trelawney Prophecy



Ok so this one may not be considered a real prophecy, but my favorite one is when Trelawney refuses to sit down at the dinner table for Christmas because of the unlucky number of diners. So it's more of a superstition really than a prophecy.

"I dare not, Headmaster! If I join the table, we shall be thirteen! Nothing could be more unlucky! Never forget that when thirteen dine together, the first to rise will be the first to die!"

When Harry and Ron both jump up from the table at the same time, she hysterically asks which one of them got up first. I love McGonagall's disdain with the silliness.

Do you count it as coming true that Dumbledore rose to greet her when she came in and he was the first to die?
