Boston, MA -- Officials at Boston's Logan International Airport say crews have contained a fuel leak from an outbound Japan Airlines flight to Tokyo in the second incident involving the airline at Logan in two days.
Massachusetts Port Authority spokesman Richard Walsh said the Boeing 787 was towed back to the gate for evaluation Tuesday afternoon after about 40 gallons of fuel spilled. He said the plane had 178 passengers and 11 crew members on board.
A JAL spokeswoman said the crew had reported a "mechanical issue." The noon flight was rescheduled for mid-afternoon departure.
On Monday, a fire broke out in a battery pack in the belly of a different Japan Airlines Boeing 787, filling the cabin with smoke minutes after passengers disembarked. Federal transportation agencies are investigating the fire.

A representative selection of its holdings is on display at the Bode-Museum on the Museumsinsel Berlin. The Münzkabinett's exhibition illustrates the history of humankind through the medium of coinage which has been an important means of visual communication for many centuries. Finest examples of ancient minting can also be seen at the Altes Museum, where they complement the exhibition of classical antiquities from the Antikensammlung. In addition to coins, the Münzkabinett has an extensive collection of medals as well as banknotes, seals, tokens and jetons. The exhibition is rounded out by further examples of non-monetary forms of payment and a display of historic tools from the Berlin and other German mints.

The point when you know, beyond all doubt, that you're the worst wingshooter alive is when a fleeing bird slows right after you've fired at it.
And I mean "at it" in the theoretical rather than the literal sense.
It's as if the bird, having recognized that the person wearing the vest with a recoil patch is about as malignant as a kangaroo rat, is curious to see how wildly astray the next wad of pellets will fly.
This is, of course, a dangerous habit for a chukar to indulge in.
The odds are good that the next hunter who comes along will pose a rather more immediate threat.
Actually the odds are better than that — 100 percent, not to put too fine a point on it.
In my hands a 12-gauge is not so much a weapon as it is a noisemaker that litters lead.
Although I suppose I could inflict grievous wounds on a bird by clubbing it with the shotgun's butt, if only the bird would sit still for a moment and let me get my feet set.Except chukar never sit still.
Oh sure, the occasional bird with a keen sense of the absurd might, as I've mentioned, tarry a bit to revel in a display of historically inept marksmanship.
But that's just for amusement.
In the main the chukar, along with its slightly smaller but similarly fleet cousin the Hungarian partridge, strives to depart with all possible haste any place where shotgunners are present.
This instinct can annoy even a skilled shooter.
But it's especially irritating to someone like me, who hands the birds the equivalent of a four-touchdown lead before I even get out of the rig. And no matter that I'm carrying the gun and the birds aren't.
Truth is, I'm more likely to come away from the hunt with scars, and maybe a nice tibial fracture, than the birds are. (I'm not sure chukar have tibias, but you get the idea.)
Once in a great while you see a chukar as you're standing on ground that's flat, or anyway almost flat.
Only there's hardly any ground that's flat, or almost flat, where the chukar live.
Also, the chukar never go to those places.
Although sometimes a bird will fly over one of those places.
At Mach 3.
Which reminds me of a discrepancy about which I've long been puzzled.
The military, quite naturally, has affixed avian nicknames to many of its speedy fighter jets.
I don't quibble with most of their choices — falcon and eagle, for instance, are appropriate.
What I don't understand is why nobody has yet bestowed "chukar" on one of these sleek planes.
Eagles and falcons are majestic in flight, to be sure.
But I doubt any raptor could match, for sheer aerobatic agility, a chukar that's diving for the shelter of a patch of sumac at the bottom of a sagebrush canyon.
It's a wonder the birds don't trigger a sonic boom.
As for my point about terrain: to enjoy even the dubious pleasure of wasting a box of shells you have to go into steep country.
Here you will fall.
Fortunately, because the ground is nearer to vertical than horizontal, you won't fall for long before fetching up against something.
Usually this is a rock, an accessory with which chukar country is lavishly appointed.
The birds seem to know when a hunter is in a particularly clumsy pose — trying to kick a toehold into a slope that resembles nothing so much as a frozen waterfall, for instance.
(I'd carry an ice axe when hunting chukar in winter except I don't have an ice axe. And I have trouble handling the shotgun with both hands free.)
This is when the birds flush.
Yet the knack for evading at the instant when the hunter is clutching a rabbitbrush to avoid a lengthy slide is but a fragment of the chukar's omniscience.
They can sense when a shell jams the breech, and when a hunter pauses to rummage through his pack for his water bottle.
Also they can make themselves invisible.
Chukars are not, however, invincible.
They would be, except that people who aren't me sometimes shoot at them.
We were hunting the day after Christmas down on the Brownlee breaks.
I had already jumped maybe 10 birds and fired half a dozen shells without ruffling a single feather.
A pair of birds erupted from a patch of sagebrush about 40 yards ahead and slightly above me.
I was getting ready to miss again when my brother-in-law, Dave Britton, fired from the top of the ridge.
One of the birds dropped straight down, like an engineer's plumb bob.
We found the bird — it was a Hun rather than a chukar — after a few minutes.
That was the only bird our party brought down, although I expended more than my share of ammunition.
It was nonetheless a pleasant day, as most days are when you travel by foot for many hours in remote country without seeing a car.
The air was cold and clean and the snow crust so firm that you hardly ever broke through and had to wallow.
All six of us — Dave's brother, Chuck, their dad, Howard, Chuck's son, Levi, and Dave's boy, Tyler — got in a bit of exercise.
I suppose it wasn't much of a hunting trip; none of us put a sizable dent in our eight-bird daily bag limit, anyway.
But later we drove downriver to the cabin that Howard and his wife, Sandee, own and we amused ourselves for an hour or so by heaving rocks and driftwood and assorted other shoreline detritus onto their frozen cove, to see if we could punch a hole in the ice.
The only meat I got that day was a chunk of pepperoni stick from the cooler.
But there was this: It's the only hunting trip in which I've wondered whether, with the aid of a long roll on ice, I could drive a golf ball clear across the river to Idaho.
Next time, Dave and I vowed, we're bringing our drivers as well as our shotguns.

Martin: Peoria TT Report
NEWS August 26, 2010
Hey everyone! This last weekend was in Peoria, Ill. It was a TT and that's my favorite kind of track. I was coming into this race with some kind of cold, and had been sick for a few days before the race, but was excited for another TT. My first practice felt good, thanks to Chris Carr's input. I felt like I knew the track before going out. It was my first time on the Peoria TT, so I took it easy to get to know the track and find the lines. We changed the gearing to see if I could gain some traction before the next practice. The next practice was a qualifying one and I knew that I needed to push harder every lap to get a good time. I just wasn't riding to my full capability being sick and having no energy or strength, but I tried to push myself and not think about it. I just wasn't getting fast times and ended up missing the front row for the heat. I knew what I needed to do to make the main. I was in the first heat race and starting on the third row.
We get ready, light goes green and I get a bad start. I started picking riders off each lap, but ran out of time. By the last lap, I found myself in 11th. I was trying hard, but I just couldn't get it. Now I have to qualify in the semi. I was in the first semi and starting on the second row. We line up, the light goes green, and I get a great start. I'm in second into the first corner. The track was really slippery, but I was pressuring the rider in front of me. On the last lap, I was right on his rear wheel and he made a mistake in turn one. I slipped right by him for the win. I was so happy. I gained my confidence back and was ready for the main.
We made some changes to the bike before the main. The horn goes off and we walk out to the line. I'm starting on the third row again. The light goes green and I get an okay start. I was in about 15th and started picking riders off and was pushing hard, but the track was getting slippery. I was spinning a lot and not gaining positions. I was in 11th and trying to find new lines, but ended up staying in 11th and was thankful for making the main and having the opportunity to race in Peoria.

There are so many wonderfully fun stories about monsters that we had to have a singalong storytime all about them. We read Go Away Big Green Monster, Thelonius Monster's Sky-High Fly Pie, and considered the merits of The Monster at the End of this Book along with When a Monster is Born. Our very special guest was Mr. Steve who brought along Honey the Bear to sing along with Octy and all of us. Then we had a monster parade over to the craft tables and made big green monsters. Join us for our next Singalong Storytime on May 17 where we'll have more music games and singalong songs along with favorite stories, puppets, a special guest, and a craft.
Stories, songs, puppets, movement, musical instruments, a special guest, and a special craft - it's Singalong Storytime! I hope you'll join us as we celebrate almost spring time with fun stories and a special craft about monsters (the fun kind, not the scary kind). This month's special guest is... a surprise! You'll have to come to find out who it is. We'll ask our special guest to sing along with us and Octy the Octopus who, as you know, speaks with musical notes, not with words as you and I do.
Join us for a fun almost-springtime evening of fun at the library!
Evening baby storytime is every Tuesday at 6 pm in February. We'll share songs, practice finger rhymes, read stories, play with puppets, and simply share some nice moments with our little ones.
One of my favorite things about programs for babies and caregivers at the library is that babies have the opportunity to interact with one another in a safe environment. Hearing songs, stories and rhymes is nice, but it wouldn't be the same if the babies didn't have their community of fellows to enjoy it with. Little ones engage in parallel play, tentatively interact with one another, and, of course, enjoy the time with you - their caregiver.
Evening Baby Storytime is open to babies from birth to two years old and their caregivers. Older siblings are welcome to attend as guests. No registration is required which means you can simply come to the library and have fun. I hope you'll attend and have some special moments!
It's so interesting to watch reading skills start to click for children. While the process of learning to read is different for everyone, you can often recognize those kids who have been read to a lot. It must be so much easier for them when they know that those little black blocks of sticks and squiggles correspond to the words they hear and say. And when they know about turning pages and going from left to right (for most of the books in this culture) and which way is up. All of these concepts about print are more easily learned when kids are read to early and often. Then, when the decoding part "starts to click" early readers have a more enjoyable time on top of that solid foundation. Building this foundation of concepts about print most often requires only a consistent and caring pleasurable effort- sharing books with your children every day. Singing easy songs - whatever you like. Saying those rhymes you remember or find some new ones. Your kids will love them. Choose books that you'll both enjoy. Visit your branch library for lots of great read aloud choices and you can watch it start to click from the very beginning.
Robert Munsch's Love You Forever may be the weirdest yet most beloved picture book about unconditional love ever. It's the illustrations. What's not so weird is when the mother says, "This kid is driving me cra-zy!" after the baby flushes her watch down the toilet. Because it's true, parenting is often frustrating work. Add to that the other stresses of life and, well, if you're a parent, you know what it's like. Take a look at the Parenting Topic Guide for great resources on all things parenting. When your little one is driving you crazy or when you're looking for great parenting books, websites, magazines, KPL databases, and community resources – you'll find them on KPL's Parenting Topic Guide.
"Dad's Golden Hour", an article by Clint Kelly in a recent enough issue of Motheringmagazine, is all about dads reading to their kids - how much fun it is and how it creates time away from the stresses of everyday life while creating a lasting connection. The article offers tips to dads and moms for making reading aloud to your kids even more fun. One of my favorite suggestions from the article is to try reading with your kids in a different, special space - underneath the kitchen table or even up a tree. The author also suggests reading stories at dinnertime, a nice way to combine two family strengthening routines in one busy day. I also like Kelly's suggestion to give kids parts in the story, a great way to read with, not just read to your children. Finally, a suggestion to make up your own stories to tell your kids is a good one. Kids are fascinated by their parents' real life stories from when they were children.

- Denver finally invited to talk airport issues with Adams officials
A meeting to discuss Adams County concerns that Denver's plan for an Airport City may violate a 24-year-old land use agreement was productive, but officials said Thursday it was only a start to resolving the conflict.
"I'm just encouraged we are sitting down together and talking," said Adams County Commissioner, W.R. "Skip" Fischer. "They need to acknowledge the IGA is in place, and I think the Denver mayor has done that."
A letter sent last month by Adams County Commissioners and city mayors to Denver Mayor Michael Hancock expressed concerns that the Airport City plan, as they understood it, was in violation of the intergovernmental agreement.
The Airport City plan is part of the larger aerotropolis plan rolled out by Hancock last year that would place development in clusters organized by industry around Denver International Airport as a way to spur the regional economy.
The intergovernmental agreement for that land was written in 1988, and later approved by Adams County voters, to allow Denver to annex almost 45 square miles of land for DIA. The pact contained strict guidelines on any further development surrounding the airport.
The guidelines restrict development for "accessory uses, which are related to development of natural resources located on the new airport site."
The agreement also limits residential, commercial and industry development to areas south of 72nd Avenue, and south and east of a open space buffer along Peña Boulevard.
In a response dated last week, Hancock said he believed his plan was compliant with the IGA, but asked Adams County officials to work with him to amend the agreement if needed.
Specifics about the the plan — and why officials would argue they do or don't violate the agreement — were not discussed Thursday, Fischer said.
"We haven't seen the plan," he said. "What we've seen are the things in the media."
Still, Fischer said he hopes not to change the IGA.
"We want to make sure we still respect and honor that agreement," he said. "It was put in place because of the people. We answer to the people."
According to a joint statement released Thursday afternoon by Adams County and Denver, coming discussions will consider how new economic opportunities might affect the IGA, but left open the option of changing the Airport City plans and the land use agreement.
"We expect to focus on the planning, governance, transportation, and financing issues relative to the IGA to create a new plan for the airport and the surrounding land that achieves our mutual goals and prosperity," the statement reads.
The next meeting is scheduled for Aug. 22 at DIA.

Proponents say the plan isn't to wire every nook and cranny within the 59 national parks that cover nearly 52 million acres across the U.S. Instead, the emphasis by the National Park Hospitality Association is on boosting cellphone and Internet coverage at park entrances, lodges, visitor centers and major traffic corridors.
According to the Boulder Daily Camera ( http://tinyurl.com/aprxyxc), Rocky Mountain National Park, one of the crown jewels of the national park system, is not on the list of up to a dozen parks on the list for the experiment, but other Colorado national parks, including Mesa Verde in the southwest part of the state, may yet be included.
"We're not wiring the backcountry. We know people are going to be worried about solitude in the parks. This is a pilot project, and we are aware of some criticisms already," said National Park Service spokesman Jeffrey Olson.
"We don't have a start date yet, but it could be this summer if things move along. We would, of course, welcome public input. We're guessing that there will be interest from the public, and we will have formal input processes," Olson said.
The 10,000-member environmental group Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility said one of the values of using public lands is solitude.
Executive director Jeff Ruch said some people want to get away from it all, and they don't want to be disturbed by the incessant chirping of cellphones.

Dental Implants
Topic Overview
A dental implant is an artificial tooth that replaces a tooth that has been taken out. Implants are natural-looking, can provide support for dentures, and do not affect the teeth bordering them. They are as stable as your real teeth and protect you from the loss of jawbone, which occurs when you lose teeth.
You may need an implant if you have lost a tooth because of tooth decay or an accident. To receive an implant, you need to have healthy gums and enough bone to support the implant.
After your tooth has been removed:
- Your dentist, oral surgeon, or gum disease specialist (periodontist) will place an anchor and post in your jawbone. The anchor functions as the tooth root and is made from metals such as titanium. The post extends out of the anchor. Your new tooth will attach to the post. It takes 3 to 6 months for the jawbone to grow around the anchor and hold it in place. Some dentists use two operations to put in the anchor and the post.
- When the anchor is well attached to the bone, your dentist will cement the artificial tooth (crown) to the implant.
You may have swelling and/or tenderness for a few days after the surgery, and your dentist may give you pain medicine. Your dentist may also suggest that you eat only soft foods for a period of time.
After you have an implant, it stays in. You do not have to remove it for cleaning or soaking, as you do dentures.
It is just as important to brush and floss implants as it is with natural teeth. If bacteria build up on implants, you can end up with gum disease and bone loss.

May 6, 2016
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Federal Communications Commission says the nation's four largest wireless carriers have agreed to make emergency 911 texts available nationwide by May 2014.
Major rollouts of the texting system are expected next year.
The agency said Thursday that under the agreement with AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile, more than 90 percent of U.S. cellphone users would be able to access emergency services by sending a text message to 911.
The FCC says this could help people in emergency situations when a voice call could put the caller in danger. Texting could also aid a person with disabilities who is unable to make a voice call.
However, the FCC says people should always make a voice call to 911 during an emergency if they can.

- "Cho, a promise is a comfort fe a fool ya know, Niko. The boy have fe creep before him can walk, ya know."
- ―Little Jacob.
Concrete Jungle is the first mission in Grand Theft Auto IV given to protagonist Niko Bellic by Rastafarian Little Jacob from his apartment on Dillon Street in Schottler, Broker, Liberty City. It is unlocked by the mission Jamaican Heat.
This mission introduces the player to the Cover System.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Take Jacob to the apartment block in Willis.
- Drive to the Rear alleyway.
- Waste the drug dealers.
- Go and pick up Jacob.
- Take Jacob to the town house in Meadows Park.
- Go with Jacob to the front door.
- Follow Jacob into the house.
- Take down all the drug dealers.
- Take Jacob back to the Homebrew Cafe.
- Dealers
- Hillside Posse
Niko meets up with Little Jacob at Jacob's apartment. Jacob wants Niko to drive him to Saratoga Avenue in Willis for a drug deal. However, Jacob is uneasy about it because he is buying drugs from a new source. Outside the apartment where the deal will take place, Jacob wants Niko to cover the back of the apartment just in case the deal goes sour, as he covers the front of the apartment. The deal does go sour as the dealers don't even have the drugs and just want the money. Jacob calls Niko that they are trying to escape through the back. Niko kills the three dealers who are trying to escape. Niko picks up Jacob and Jacob wants Niko to drive to Savannah Avenue in Meadows Park to get back on the people who set the deal up. Niko and Jacob break into an apartment and kill all who are inside shooting that them. After that, Jacob wants Niko to drive him to his base of operations, the Homebrew Cafe.
Video Walkthrough
After the Mission
- The reward for completing this mission is $200. The mission Shadow is unlocked.
- Jacob's red and black Virgo is now available for the player to drive.
- Drug dealers that are at the deal will attempt to ambush Niko Bellic and Little Jacob.
- Drug dealers are in the house where Niko and Jacob get their revenge.
- If the windows to the car you are driving are open, smoke from Jacob's marijuana will be seen seeping out of them (this happens anytime Jacob is in a car with Niko and the windows are open). Despite this, Jacob will still say that he would rather Niko keep the windows closed so they can "hot-box", i.e. keep the smoke in the car. Jacob will say this even if Niko uses a motorcycle.
- The mission is named after one of Bob Marley's songs; Concrete Jungle, which also plays on Tuff Gong Radio.
- Even if the player enters a vehicle other than Little Jacob's, the default radio station will be Tuff Gong Radio.
- When Little Jacob calls Niko while he is looking out, there will be a small delay when trying to accept the call.
- If Niko follows Jacob to the front of the apartment block, he can see Little Jacob knock on the front door.
- If you go back to Jacob before killing the gangsters, then you will see that he has disappeared. He will reappear after you've killed the gangsters.
- You cannot access the roof to the gangsters apartment in this mission, but you will be able to before and after this mission. There is also a Flying Rat on the roof of the building.
- Also, the health kit that's on the table will only appear in this mission. If Jacob dies and the mission fails, the health kit will disappear.
- The Gangsters Niko and Jacob were fighting were members of the Hillside Posse
- The Player does not nessasarily need to take Jacob's car, but most players take it anyway.

Dozens of employees and residents of a Martin County assisted living center have been treated for scabies after an outbreak last week.
Forty one employees and 41 residents of the Williamston House in Williamston were treated after it was confirmed that two women residents had the skin disease, according to the Martin-Tyrrell-Washington District Health Department.
Scabies is an easily spread skin disease caused by very small mites that burrow into the skin and deposit their eggs. It is mostly spread by direct contact with infected people.
Since the outbreak was discovered on Wednesday, a crew has been cleaning out the facility. That crew is leaving today. Visitors have been asked not to visit until the center is cleaned.
The health department says while it is pretty common for a scabies outbreak to happen, this is the first one this year in Martin County.

Antihistamines for Allergic Rhinitis
Older (first-generation) over-the-counter and prescription antihistamines
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|chlorpheniramine maleate
Newer (second-generation) over-the-counter antihistamines
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|Alavert, Claritin
Newer (second-generation) prescription antihistamines
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
Antihistamines may be available as tablets, capsules, nasal sprays, or liquids. You can use them alone or combined with decongestants to treat allergic rhinitis.
How It Works
Many symptoms of allergic rhinitis, such as sneezing, itching, and runny nose, occur when your body releases a chemical called histamine. Antihistamine medicines block histamine and may reduce your symptoms.
Why It Is Used
You can use antihistamines to stop or reduce sneezing, runny nose, and watery and itchy eyes caused by an allergic reaction.
How Well It Works
All of these antihistamines work equally well to relieve sneezing, itching, and runny nose.
- Antihistamines begin to provide relief in 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- Antihistamines dry up the runny nose caused by allergies, but they usually do not clear up stuffiness.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor if you have:
- Hives.
- Fast or irregular heartbeat.
- Fever.
- Unusual bleeding or bruising.
- Belly pain.
- Unusual tiredness or weakness.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Drowsiness.
- Dry mouth, nose, or throat.
- Stomach upset.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
In general, antihistamines don't relieve nasal congestion well. They are often combined with a decongestant in one product. These medicines may not be safe for young children or for people who have certain health problems. Read and follow all instructions on the label.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

- "I spend time with Harry because I have things to discuss with him, information I must give him before it is too late."
- —Dumbledore explains their lessons to Severus Snape.[src]
These private lessons took place during the course of Harry Potter's sixth year in 1996-1997 between him and the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Albus Dumbledore. The purpose of these lessons were to teach Harry about Lord Voldemort's past in an attempt to figure out how to defeat him, further discuss the prophecy that caused Harry's destiny, and unriddle an important secret of Voldemort's, guessed at by Dumbledore, that possibly involves Voldemort being immortal. The answers to these questions and mysteries were attempted to be found using the Pensieve, a memory-storing device in which Dumbledore and Harry could delve into memories (sometimes of the Headmaster himself and sometimes belonging to others) that would help unravel the secrets involving Voldemort, his birth, his rise to power, and his weaknesses.
First lesson
The first lesson took place at 8 p.m. on a Saturday in early September 1996. The password to Dumbledore's office was Acid Pops.
Bob Ogden's memory
- Harry: "Where are we going, sir?"
- Dumbledore: "For a trip down Bob Ogden's memory lane... he died some time ago, but not before I had tracked him down and persuaded him to confide these recollections to me. We are about to accompany him on a visit he made in the course of his duties. If you will stand, Harry..."
- — Dumbledore introduces this memory to Harry[src]
In this first memory, Harry witnessed an encounter between Bob Ogden, an employee of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and the pure-blood House of Gaunt. Ogden, as head of the Magical Law Enforcement Patrol, was sent to the Gaunt shack to summon Morfin Gaunt to a hearing for using magic against a Muggle. The Muggle in question, Tom Riddle Sr., was attacked by Morfin by means of an unidentified jinx or hex that gave him painful hives.
Ogden was not received well by the Gaunts, who conversed with each other in Parseltongue, and Morfin ended up sending a spell that made yellow goo come from Ogden's nose, and Morfin's father, Marvolo Gaunt physically and verbally abused his daughter Merope Gaunt while brandishing Slytherin family heirlooms, a ring and his locket at Ogden. At that moment, Tom Riddle Sr. and his girlfriend, Cecilia, drove by and scoffed at the Gaunt shack, and Morfin revealed that his sister was in love with the Muggle, Tom Riddle Sr.
Marvolo Gaunt, a pure-blood supremacist and a fanatic for his Slytherin family heritage, was furious that his daughter would love a Muggle, and Ogden stopped him from throttling Merope with a Revulsion Jinx. Ogden ran from the shack into Tom and Cecilia's carriage, and after orienting himself from the collision, he Apparated. Dumbledore and Harry exited the memory, with Dumbledore then revealing that Ogden came back with reinforcements from the Ministry who overpowered Morfin and Marvolo and sent them to Azkaban, albeit with Morfin's sentence longer than Marvolo's.
After seeing the memory, Dumbledore explained to Harry that Marvolo Gaunt was Voldemort's grandfather and namesake for his middle name, and Merope was his mother, thus making Morfin his uncle, who he would encounter later. Tom Riddle Sr. was Voldemort's Muggle father and namesake. This memory also saw the introduced of Salazar Slytherin's Locket, an heirloom marking the familial link of the Gaunts to Salazar Slytherin, and Marvolo Gaunt's Ring, the familial link of Gaunts to the Peverells, both of which would later become some of Voldemort's Horcruxes.
- "I believe that Merope, who was deeply in love with her husband, could not bear to continue enslaving him by magical means. I believe that she made the choice to stop giving him the potion. Perhaps, besotted as she was, she had convinced herself that he would by now have fallen in love with her in return. Perhaps she thought he would stay for the baby's sake. If so, she was wrong on both counts. He left her, never saw her again, and never troubled to discover what became of his son"
- —Albus Dumbledore explaining Merope and Tom Riddle Sr.'s tragic relationship[src]
This memory also introduced the Resurrection Stone as the black stone within the ring, though this would not be realised by Harry until much later. Dumbledore and Harry talked about Merope's use of a Love Potion to seduce Tom Riddle Sr., but because of her deep love for him she chose to take him off the Potion, thinking or perhaps hoping that the effects of the potion would be permanent. She was incorrect, and Riddle abandoned his wife and unborn child. Dumbledore then told Harry he should only confide in Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger about what they talked about in the lessons.
Second lesson
The second lesson took place at 8pm on a Monday in mid-October 1996.
Albus Dumbledore's memory (#1)
- Harry: "Where are we going?"
- Dumbledore: "This time, we are going to enter my memory. I think you will find it both rich in detail and satisfyingly accurate. After you, Harry..."
- — Dumbledore introduces this lesson[src]
During this lesson, Harry witnessed Albus Dumbledore's first meeting with the eleven-year old Tom Marvolo Riddle. Dumbledore arrived at Wool's Orphanage with an appointment to speak with Mrs. Cole. While talking to Mrs. Cole, she revealed some of the incidents that have happened with Tom over the years, including the circumstances in which he was brought to the orphanage and "funny things" he has done to the other children. Dumbledore meets Tom, who is at first wary that Dumbledore is someone from the asylum, that Mrs. Cole and the others want him locked up. By lighting Tom's wardrobe on fire and forcing him to return the trinkets he stole from other children (undoubtedly by misusing his magical abilities), Dumbledore proved to Riddle that he (Dumbledore) was a wizard and convinced him to come to Hogwarts.
Dumbledore offered to help Tom in Diagon Alley and buying school books, but Tom assured him he could manage alone, and so Dumbledore informed him that the Hogwarts Express would leave from King's Cross Station on 1 September. Riddle informed Dumbledore, as the man turned to leave, that he had the rare gift of speaking to snakes, which Dumbledore told him was unusual but not unheard of.
- Harry: "Did you know -- then?"
- Dumbledore: "Did I know I had just met the most powerful dangerous Dark wizard of all time? No, I had no idea that he was to grow up to be what he is. However, I was certainly intrigued by him. I returned to Hogwarts intending to keep an eye upon him, something I should have done in any case, given that he was alone and friendless, but which, already, I felt I ought to do for others' sake as much as his."
- — Harry and Dumbledore after seeing this memory[src]
Before seeing the memory, Harry and Dumbledore discussed Merope's refusal to use magic any longer, the sale of the locket to Borgin and Burkes, and her death shortly after giving birth. It was revealed that Voldemort had an uncommonly powerful control of magic at such a young age, a cruel and controlling nature, and had a preference for acting alone and without a desire for friendship. When Dumbledore mentioned that the barman of the Leaky Cauldron was also named Tom, Voldemort visibly showed his contempt for anything that tied him to other people, anything that made him ordinary. Riddle wished to be different from others, separate and notorious. Thus, he soon shed the ordinary name of "Tom" and created the alias "Lord Voldemort".
- Dumbledore: "His powers, as you heard, were suprisingly well-developed for such a young wizard and -- most interestingly and ominously of all -- he had already discovered that he had some measure of control over them, and begun to use them consciously. And as you saw, they were not the random experiments typical of young wizards: he was already using magic against other people, to frighten, to punish, and to control. The little stories of the strangled rabbit and the young boy and girl he lured into a cave were most suggestive ... I can make them hurt if I want to...'"
- Harry: "And he was a Parselmouth."
- Dumbledore: "Yes, indeed; a rare ability, and one supposedly connected with the Dark Arts, although as we know, there are Parselmouths among the great and the good too. In fact, his ability to speak to serpents did not make me nearly as uneasy as his obvious instincts for cruelty, secrecy, and domination"
- — Dumbledore and Harry discuss young Tom Riddle[src]
Third lesson
The third lesson took place at 8pm one evening in early January 1997.
Morfin Gaunt's memory
For this lesson, Dumbledore and Harry delved into the memory of Morfin Gaunt, Voldemort's uncle. The scene in question was when the sixteen-year old Tom Riddle encountered Morfin as he sought out his heritage. The memory showed that, in the absence of Merope, the Gaunt shack had gone to seed. Riddle entered the house, and because he so resembled his father, Morfin mistook him for a moment as his hated, Muggle brother-in-law. Riddle proved to Morfin that he spoke Parseltongue, and Morfin informed Riddle that Marvolo was dead and told Riddle the story of Riddle Sr. leaving Merope and Merope subsequently robbing them of Slytherin's locket. Tom Riddle, learning that in fact his father, a Muggle, left his mother, was furious, and as Voldemort moved forward, the memory ended.
- "Whatever Morfin was, he did not deserve to die as he did, blamed for the murders he had not committed."
- —Albus Dumbledore on Morfin's fate[src]
Dumbledore informed Harry that the reason the memory went dark was because Morfin could not remember anything from that point onwards. When Morfin woke up, he was alone and the ring was stolen. In Little Hangleton, the murders of Tom Riddle Sr. and his parents were revealed, and the Ministry suspected a Muggle-hater who lived across the valley from the Riddle House: Morfin. When they found him, he admitted to the murders immediately, giving details and being boastful about his deed. Upon handing over his wand, it was shown that its last spell was the Killing Curse on the Riddles. He was led to Azkaban without a fight and died there, forever lamenting the loss of the ring. Before Morfin died, however, Dumbledore visited him and used skilled Legilimency to extract the true memory, but Morfin passed away before Dumbledore could give this proof to the Ministry.
Before seeing this memory, Dumbledore explained to Harry about Tom Riddle's school years as a brilliant, handsome, quiet boy thirsty for knowledge who attracted sympathy from all the staff, which was helped through his careful flattery of them. However, Dumbledore alone did not take for granted that he was trustworthy, and Riddle was always very guarded with Dumbledore. As such, he had the sense never to charm Dumbledore as he did the other teachers. While at school, Riddle also put together a group of students whose wrongdoing would never be traced to them; the forerunners of the Death Eaters.
Harry also learned that Voldemort was obsessed with his heritage. This memory revealed how Voldemort learned the truth about his mother and father, and his own status as a half-blood, as well as that he Stunned his uncle, took his wand, proceeded to the Riddle house, and murdered his father, as well as his paternal grandparents to obliterate the Riddle line and get revenge on the father who never wanted him. He returned to the Gaunt shack, performed a False Memory Charm on his uncle, laid Morfin's wand beside its unconscious owner, grabbed the ring, and left. Dumbledore also informed Harry that, while Voldemort was underage at the time and the Ministry detected underage magic, the Ministry could only detect the magic, not the perpetrator. They were unable to tell if a child performed underage magic in a house in which witches and wizards performed magic, and thus relied on the witch and wizard parents to enforce the obedience of the child. This, as demonstrated through this memory, was not a very good system, as it allowed Voldemort to kill and frame his uncle without the Ministry attributing it to himself.
Horace Slughorn's memory (fake)
- "...the most important [memory] I have collected."
- —Albus Dumbledore[src]
In this lesson, Harry witnessed Tom Riddle during his school years question Horace Slughorn. The scene began with Tom Riddle and his gang of students in Slughorn's office, being handsome and relaxed as always. Tom asked Slughorn whether or not Galatea Merrythought was retiring, and Slughorn began saying that what with Tom's ability to know things he shouldn't and his careful flattery about the people who matter and thanks Tom for the crystallized pineapple. Before he can finish his statement, the room filled with a thick white fog and Slughorn's voice, unnaturally loudly, said "You'll go wrong, boy, mark my words."
The fog cleared, and the subjects in the memory did not appear to have any idea that anything odd had happened. As it was late, Slughorn dismissed his group of students. Tom, however, lingered behind, and then asked Slughorn what the professor knew about Horcruxes. Just then, the dense fog filled the room once more and the loud voice of Slughorn boomed out once again, admonishing Tom by saying that he didn't know anything about Horcruxes, he wouldn't tell him if he did, and told him to never let the professor catch him mentioning them again.
- Tom Riddle: "Sir, I wanted to ask you something."
- Horace Slughorn: "Ask away, then, m'boy. Ask away..."
- Tom Riddle: "Sir, I wondered what you know about...about Horcruxes?"
- Horace Slughorn: "I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HORCRUXES AND I WOULDN'T TELL YOU IF I DID! NOW GET OUT OF HERE AT ONCE AND DON'T LET ME CATCH YOU MENTIONING THEM AGAIN!"
- — Horace Slughorn's false memory of him talking to Tom Riddle about Horcruxes[src]
- "And so, for the first time, I am giving you homework, Harry. It will be your job to persuade Professor Slughorn to divulge the real memory, which will undoubtedly be our most crucial piece of information of all... He has weaknesses like the rest of us and I believe that you are the one person who might be able to penetrate his defences. It is most important that we secure the true memory, Harry ... how important, we will only know when we have the real thing."
- —Dumbledore to Harry about procuring the true memory[src]
Albus Dumbledore informed Harry that key parts of the memory had been omitted, as the memory had obviously been tampered with. He told Harry that he believed Slughorn to be ashamed of what he remembered, and thus tried to rework the memory to show himself in a better light by crudely obliterating the parts Slughorn didn't want Dumbledore to see. Then, Dumbledore gave Harry the task of persuading Professor Slughorn to divulge the real memory, which Dumbledore believed was the most important piece of information of all. Dumbledore told Harry that Slughorn was an able wizard who undoubtedly carried an antidote to Veritaserum after Dumbledore got the fake memory, and was a much more skilled Occlumens than Morfin Gaunt. Thus, Dumbledore said that it would be something unique about Harry that would play to Slughorn's weaknesses and get him to hand over the true memory.
- "This memory is everything...without it we are blind. Without it, we leave the fate of our world to chance. You have no choice. You must not fail."
- —Dumbledore assigning Harry the task of retrieving the lesson.[src]
Fourth lesson
The fourth lesson took place at 8pm on a Monday in mid March 1997. The password to Dumbledore's office was Toffee Eclairs.
Hokey's memory
- "Can you keep a secret, Tom? Will you promise you won't tell Mr. Burke I've got it? He'd never let me rest if he knew I'd shown it to you, and I'm not selling, not to Burke, not to anyone!"
- —Hepzibah Smith prior to showing Tom Riddle Hufflepuff's cup and Slytherin's locket[src]
Hepzibah, who enjoyed being doted on and charmed by the handsome Tom Riddle, decided to show Tom two of her most prized possessions. She first showed him Helga Hufflepuff's cup, a relic of Hogwarts founder Helga Hufflepuff. Tom showed obvious interest in the object, though did not object as it was taken away and Hokey obediently brought another treasure Hepzibah wanted to show him: Salazar Slytherin's locket.
Hepzibah revealed that she bought it from Mr. Burke for a hefty sum, who bought it from a "ragged-looking woman who seemed to have stolen it, but had no idea of its true value". Voldemort's eyes momentarily flashed scarlet, as he knew that the woman was his mother and that the locket was his birthright. Hepzibah took the locket back, and her foolish smile faltered for a moment when she momentarily glimpsed the red gleam of Voldemort's eyes. She then ordered Hokey to take the two objects away and lock them up again with the usual enchantments.
At the beginning of this lesson, Harry was very ashamed that he was unable to procure the true memory from Slughorn, especially when Dumbledore made it clear how important that memory was. While Dumbledore did not scold him openly, he was disappointed, and Harry assured Dumbledore that he would work harder in procuring the memory.
Before going into Hokey's memory, Dumbledore explained that Voldemort reached his seventh year with top grades in every examination, and everyone expected spectacular things from Riddle, the prefect, Head Boy, etc. Despite offers, particularly from Professor Slughorn, to get him involved with the Ministry of Magic, Riddle ended up working at Borgin and Burkes, though he had previously asked the Headmaster, Armando Dippet, if he could work as the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. According to Dumbledore, Riddle's reasoning in wanting to return to Hogwarts was because it was the first and only place he had felt at home; he may have wanted to unravel more mysteries of the ancient castle and explore magic and secrets in it never before seen by students; and to have influence over young witches and wizards so as to have a recruiting ground, a place to build up his army. Dippet said Riddle was too young at 18 and told him he could reapply in a few years. Instead, at Borgin and Burkes, he was sent to persuade people to part with their treasures for sale by the partners.
After seeing the memory, Dumbledore informed Harry that Hepzibah died two days after that scene, and Hokey was convicted of poisoning her mistress's cocoa by accident. Similar to the murder of the Riddle family and Morfin's confession, Hokey had a clear memory of putting a lethal, little-known poison in the cocoa instead of sugar, and being old and confused she didn't mean to do it. In truth, Voldemort modified her memory the same way he did to Morfin, and the Ministry was already predisposed to suspect Hokey because she was a house-elf. Soon after Hokey's conviction, Hepzibah's family discovered that her two greatest treasures were missing; in the same way, the young assistant at Borgin and Burkes vanished and no one saw Tom Riddle again for a long time.
Albus Dumbledore's memory (#2)
- Dumbledore: "And now for the very last recollection I have to show you, at least until you manage to retrieve Professor Slughorn's memory for us. Ten years separate Hokey's memory and this one, ten years during which he can only guess at what Lord Voldemort was doing..."
- Harry: "Whose memory is it?"
- Dumbledore: "Mine."
- — Dumbledore introduces this memory[src]
In this memory, Harry witnessed the man who began openly calling himself Voldemort as he returned to Hogwarts with the intention of taking up a teaching position. Voldemort entered the Headmaster's office and met with Dumbledore, who offered him a drink. They discussed how both Voldemort and Dumbledore never desired a career in the Ministry, and Dumbledore made it clear, very pleasantly, to Voldemot that he will always call him "Tom", despite the new name he has acquired. Voldemort revealed that he had returned to the school to pursue the teaching career he asked Professor Dippet about so long ago. Voldemort explained that he had done and seen much since leaving Hogwarts, and that he could share his experiences with young minds, that he had pushed the boundaries of magic further than they had ever been pushed.
Dumbledore contended that Voldemort still remained ignorant of the power of the love in magic, to which Voldemort disputed, but said that he wished to teach and that his talents were at Dumbledore's disposal. Dumbledore then surprised Voldemort with his knowledge that he would find a group of Voldemort's Death Eaters in the Hog's Head waiting for their leader to return. Dumbledore then decided to speak openly with Tom, asking him why he came to Hogwarts, surrounded by henchmen, to ask for a job he didn't want. When Tom disagreed, Dumbledore made it clear he knew Voldemort wished to return to Hogwarts, but not to teach, and asked what Voldemort's true purpose was in returning to the school. Furious, Voldemort left Dumbledore's office.
This memory showed that Voldemort, even after his time at Borgin and Burkes, still intended to gain influence over young wizards and witches, as he continued to build his power. In the amount of time since 18-year-old Voldemort, it was clear that he had spent years learning and discovering new types of Dark magic, and mutilating his soul. Rather than teach, Voldemort may have wanted to return to Hogwarts for the reasons he wanted to when he was 18: his fondness for the place and his desire to continue studying its secrets. As well as this, however, he was also interested in obtaining more artefacts of the Hogwarts founders.
The dispute between Voldemort and Dumbledore about love was one that was very important later, as Dumbledore had always believed Voldemort to be woefully ignorant about some forms of magic, whereas Voldemort believed nothing he had learned proved Dumbledore's theory that love was powerful. Dumbledore also explained that Voldemort was still after the Defence Against the Dark Arts position, even though he didn't mention it specifically. After Dumbledore refused to give him the job, Voldemort placed a curse on the post making it so a teacher would never last more than one year.
Although this was not realised until later, Voldemort's true reason for returning to the school was to place Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem, now a Horcrux of his, in the Room of Requirement. Voldemort had discovered the location of the diadem forest in Albania from information given to him by the Grey Lady, and he believed that the Horcrux would be safe in the Room of Requirement because he was arrogant enough to think that only he had plumbed the deepest depths and secrets of Hogwarts Castle. After his defeat during his attack at Godric's Hollow at the hands of baby Harry Potter, he later returned to the secluded forests of Albania to bide time until his return to power.
Final lesson
The final lesson took place shortly after midnight on 22 April, 1997. The password to Dumbledore's office was still Toffee Eclairs.
- Slughorn: "I'm not proud ... I am ashamed of what -- of what that memory shows ... I think I may have done great damage that day ..."
- Harry: "You'd cancel anything you did by giving me the memory. It would be a very brave and noble thing to do. (Slughorn gives him the memory) Thank you very much, Professor."
- Slughorn: "You're a good boy. And you've got her eyes ... just don't think too badly of me once you've seen it ..."
- — Harry persuading Slughorn to give him the memory[src]
Harry's assignment from Dumbledore was to persuade Horace Slughorn to divulge the true memory. After a few unsuccessful attempts, Harry realised what he needed to get Slughorn to give him the memory was luck; and Harry had previously won a bottle of Felix Felicis (a luck potion) from Slughorn in a Potions class. He drank some, and the potion guided him to Rubeus Hagrid's cabin, where the half-giant was holding Aragog's funeral. Slughorn accompanied Harry down to the funeral (mostly for the chance to collect valuable Acromantula venom), and Slughorn and Hagrid drank heavily, inside the hut.
Being helped by the lucky potion, Harry talked to Slughorn about the way his parents had died, how James had stood in front of Voldemort, who murdered him and then stepped over the body toward Lily. Slughorn told Harry that he had heard enough, and Harry told Slughorn that if the professor truly cared about Lily, he would help her son by giving him the memory. Slughorn was reluctant, his eyes brimming with tears, horrified at showing what he told Tom Riddle all those years ago. Harry told Slughorn that the only way they would be able to defeat Voldemort, defeat the man who killed Lily, was by having the information contained in Slughorn's memory. Slughorn then gave Harry the memory.
Horace Slughorn's memory (real)
- Dumbledore: "Good gracious, Harry, to what do I owe this very late pleasure?"
- Harry: "Sir -- I've got it. I've got the memory from Slughorn."
- Dumbledore: "Harry, this is spectacular news! Very well done indeed! I knew you could do it! [...] And now, now, at last, we shall see. Harry, quickly..."
- — Harry telling Dumbledore that he got the memory[src]
Harry took the memory to Dumbledore, and the two of them went into the Pensieve to witness it. Harry landed in Slughorn's office many years ago, with Tom Riddle in the midst of his gang. However, unlike the fake memory, white fog did not obscure the scene after Tom asked if Professor Merrythought was retiring; instead, Slughorn winked and told Tom that he expected him to rise to Minister for Magic within twenty years, fifteen if Tom continued sending Slughorn is favourite crystallised pineapple. When the clock chimed eleven o' clock, Slughorn dismissed the students, but Tom lingered behind and asked the Professor if he knew anything about Horcruxes.
- Slughorn: "Well, well, it can't hurt to give you an overview, of course. Just so that you understand the term. A Horcrux is the word used for an object in which a person has concealed part of their soul."
- Riddle: "I don't quite understand how that works, sir."
- Slughorn: "Well, you split your soul, you see, and hide part of it in an object outside the body. Then, even if one's body is attacked or destroyed, one cannot die, for part of the soul remains earthbound and undamaged. But, of course, existence in such a form...few would want it, Tom, very few. Death would be preferable."
- Riddle: "How do you split your soul?"
- Slughorn: "Well, you must understand that the soul is supposed to remain intact and whole. Splitting it is an act of violation, it is against nature."
- Riddle: "But how do you do it?"
- Slughorn: "By an act of evil -- the supreme act of evil. By committing murder. Killing rips the soul apart. The wizard intent upon creating a Horcrux would use the damage to his advantage: he would encase the torn portion --"
- — Horace Slughorn and Tom Riddle discussing Horcruxes[src]
Though Slughorn seemed hesitant, he decided a brief overview of the term wouldn't hurt. Thanks to Tom's careful flattery, Slughorn revealed to him that Horcrux was the term for an object in which a person has concealed part of their soul, and that one ripped the soul apart by committing murder and then hiding the piece of soul in the preferred object; thus, the person was protected should their body be destroyed because they had pieces of their soul hidden safely elsewhere. In other words, they were immortal. Tom was particularly interested in whether one could only split their soul once, and whether splitting it into seven, the most magically powerful number, would be better than just one. Slughorn was horrified at the idea of killing seven people. Riddle then assured Slughorn that he wouldn't tell anyone what the Professor told him.
Dumbledore told Harry that the memory had confirmed the theory which Dumbledore had been working on, but that it also confirmed that there was still a long way to go. Harry understood that the reason Voldemort didn't die when he attacked him was that Voldemort had a Horcrux (or Horcruxes) safe. Dumbledore then revealed that Harry himself handed Dumbledore proof of Horcruxes in his second year: Tom Riddle's diary. Dumbledore explained to Harry that, while it was clear Voldemort had wanted Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets to be opened once more, he was being careless about a fragment of his soul by simply passing it on to a Hogwarts student: the point of a Horcrux was to keep it well-hidden.
The Horcrux was destroyed by Harry, and Dumbledore inferred that the careless way Voldemort treated the diary meant that he had more -- or was planning to make more -- Horcruxes somewhere. Dumbledore explained when Voldemort said "I, who have gone further than anybody along the path that leads to immortality" to his gathered Death Eaters after his rebirth was referring to his Horcruxes, and that Voldemort's transformation into a less and less human state was due to him mutilating his soul. Harry mentioned that the seven Horcruxes could be anything, anywhere, but Dumbledore corrected him in that he has six Horcruxes (the seventh residing within him), and that Harry had already destroyed the diary and Dumbledore already destroyed Marvolo Gaunt's ring, which he found in the Gaunt shack with magical enchantments and a terrible curse placed upon it. Dumbledore told Harry that Voldemort would not have made Horcruxes out of random, useless objects, but trophies with powerful magical history worthy of the honour.
- Harry: "Does Voldemort know when a Horcrux is destroyed, sir? Can he feel it?"
- Dumbledore: "A very interesting question, Harry. I believe not. I believe that Voldemort is now so immersed in evil, and these crucial parts of himself have been detached for so long, he does not feel as we do. Perhaps at the point of death, he might be aware of his loss...but he was not aware, for instance, that the diary had been destroyed until he forced the truth out of Lucius Malfoy. When Voldemort discovered that the diary had been mutilated and robbed of all its powers, I am told that his anger was terrible to behold."
- — Harry and Dumbledore on whether Voldemort can feel if his Horcruxes are destroyed.[src]
Dumbledore told Harry that he would be prepared to bet that Helga Hufflepuff's cup and Salazar Slytherin's locket were also made Horcruxes, and also possibly something of Rowena Ravenclaw's. The only relic of Godric Gryffindor, his sword, was with Dumbledore and thus was unable to be made a Horcrux. Dumbledore also mentioned that he believed Voldemort made his snake, Nagini, a Horcrux, and was one Horcrux short before entering Harry's parents' house with the intention of killing Harry, circumventing the prophecy, and making a Horcrux with Harry's death. Dumbledore also told Harry that Voldemort was so immersed in evil and that the pieces of his soul had been detached for so long that he did not feel when the Horcruxes were destroyed.
- Harry: "So if all of his Horcruxes are destroyed, Voldemort could be killed?"
- Dumbledore: "Yes, I think so. Without his Horcruxes, Voldemort will be a mortal man with a maimed and diminished soul. Never forget, though, that while his soul may be damaged beyond repair, his brain and his magical power remain intact. It will take uncommon skill and power to kill a wizard like Voldemort, even without his Horcruxes."
- — Harry and Dumbledore discussing how to destroy Voldemort[src]
Despite this, it was said that his anger was terrible upon discovering the diary's destruction. Dumbledore explained that Voldemort meant for the diary to be smuggled into Hogwarts, but Lucius was supposed to wait for Voldemort's say-so, which he never received, as Voldemort vanished shortly after giving him the diary. Voldemort didn't tell Lucius what it truly was, and so Lucius went ahead and planted the diary on Ginny Weasley in the hopes of getting Arthur Weasley discredited, Dumbledore thrown out of Hogwarts, and getting rid of the highly incriminating object at one time. He also explained that, even if Voldemort's Horcruxes were all destroyed, it would take a wizard with uncommon skill and power to defeat the Dark Wizard.
- Albus Dumbledore: "Harry, never forget that what the prophecy says is only significant because Voldemort made it so. I told you this at the end of last year. Voldemort singled you out as the person who would be most dangerous to him -- and in doing so, he made you the person who would be most dangerous to him!"
- Harry Potter: "But it comes to the same --"
- Albus Dumbledore: "No, it doesn't! You are setting too much store by the prophecy!"
- Harry Potter: "But, but you said the prophecy means --"
- Albus Dumbledore: "If Voldemort had never heard of the prophecy, would it have been fulfilled? Would it have meant something? Of course not! Do you think every prophecy in the Hall of Prophecy has been fulfilled?"
- Harry Potter: "But, but last year, you said one of us would have to kill the other --"
- Albus Dumbledore: "Harry, Harry, only because Voldemort made a grave error and acted on Professor Trelawney's words! If Voldemort had never murdered your father, would he have imparted in you a furious desire for revenge? Of course not! If he had not forced your mother to die for you, would he have given you a magical protection he could not penetrate? Of course not, Harry! Don't you see? Voldemort himself created his worst enemy, just as tyrants everywhere do! Have you any idea how much tyrants fear the people they oppress? All of them realise that, one day, amongst their many victims, there is sure to be one who rises against them and strikes back! Voldemort is no different! Always he was on the lookout for the one who would challenge him. He heard the prophecy and he leapt into action, with the result that he had not only handpicked the man most likely to finish him, he handed him uniquely deadly weapons!"
- — Harry and Dumbledore discussing the prophecy[src]
Harry believed he didn't have any uncommon skill or power, but Dumbledore contradicted him: Harry had the ability to love, and this was the power that the prophecy mentioned "the Dark Lord knows not". Dumbledore explained that what the prophecy said was only significant because Voldemort made it so, and that by choosing to kill Harry to circumvent the prophecy, Voldemort singled out the person who would be most dangerous to him. Dumbledore told Harry that not all the prophecies in the Hall of Prophecy have been fulfilled; the prophecy about Harry and Voldemort would have meant nothing if Voldemort hadn't chosen to act on it. If Voldemort hadn't killed Harry's parents, he would not have given Harry the desire for revenge nor the sacrificial protection given to him by his mother when she died for him. Not only did Voldemort handpick the man most likely to finish him, but also gave him the tools for the job.
- Albus Dumbledore: "By attempting to kill you, Voldemort himself singled out the remarkable person who sits here in front of me, and gave him the tools for the job! It is Voldemort's fault that you were able to see into his thoughts, his ambitions, that you even understand the snakelike language in which he gives orders, and yet, Harry, despite your privileged insight into Voldemort's world (which, incidentally, is a gift any Death Eater would kill to have), you have never been seduced by the Dark Arts, never, even for a second, shown the slightest desire to become one of Voldemort's followers!"
- Harry Potter: "Of course I haven't! He killed my mum and dad!"
- Albus Dumbledore: "You are protected, in short, by your ability to love! The only protection that can possibly work against the lure of power like Voldemort's! In spite of all the temptation you have endured, all the suffering, you remain pure of heart, just as pure as you were at the age of eleven, when you stared into a mirror that reflected your heart's desire, and it showed you only the way to thwart Lord Voldemort, and not immortality or riches."
- — Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter discussing the impact of the prophecy on Harry's life.[src]
Dumbledore told Harry that, in fact, Harry was protected by the ability to love, and that despite all the temptation and suffering he had endured, he had never had the desire to join Voldemort. Indeed, Harry could flit into Voldemort's mind without harming himself, whereas it was mortal agony when Voldemort tried to possess Harry, as he discovered at the end of the Battle of the Department of Mysteries. In Voldemort's hurry to mutilate his own soul, he underestimated the power of a soul that is untarnished and whole. Dumbledore explained to Harry that Harry has got to kill Voldemort in the end, but not because of the prophecy; instead, Harry has got to kill Voldemort because he would never rest until he saw Voldemort finished at his own hands. The prophecy didn't mean Harry had to do anything; it gave him the choice because Voldemort marked him as his equal. However, Dumbledore informed Harry that Voldemort continued to set store by the prophecy, thus making it inevitable that either Harry and Voldemort would kill each other in the end. Harry realises that what Dumbledore was trying to tell him was the difference between being dragged in to face your destruction or to walk in with your head held high, and that, between these two options, there was a great deal of difference.
- "But he understood at last what Dumbledore had been trying to tell him. It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high. Some people, perhaps, would say that there was little to choose between the two ways, but Dumbledore knew -- and so do I, thought Harry, with a rush of fierce pride, and so did my parents -- that there was all the difference in the world."
- —Harry thinking about what Dumbledore has told him during this discussion.[src]
Behind the scenes
- In the film version of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, only Dumbledore's first memory (at the orphanage) and both the fake and real versions of Horace Slughorn's memory are shown. All of the other memories are omitted.
- In the film, only the diary, the ring, and the locket are discussed. No mention is made of the cup, the object of Ravenclaw's, or Nagini.
- In the book, Dumbledore says how Voldemort would collect "trophies", and therefore would not use random items (like tin cans and old potion bottles) to make Horcruxes, however, in the film, Dumbledore says that Horcruxes "Could be anything. Most common place of objects.", and then lists a ring and a book as examples. Though in a deleted scene for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, Harry says that Dumbledore's theory was that Voldemort would not make random objects into Horcruxes.
- Furthermore, in the Half-Blood Prince film, Dumbledore says that the Horcrux ring belonged to Voldemort's mother, not his grandfather, though later in Deathly Hallows: Part 1, Harry says that, according to Dumbledore, the ring belonged to his grandfather; also, he had knowledge that the locket belonged to Voldemort's mother, even though no Gaunt memory was shown in the film.
