Harry Potter 6 Quotes

Header by Samulli
HP fans are flocking to the movies for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in July. I am re-reading the book to remember some details and be more aware of what's showing (and not) in the movie. Out of the many quotes in the book that I like, amuse me or are relavant to me, here are 13 of them:

1. People find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than for being right.~ Hermione Granger on Dumbledore, p. 96

2. Why are you worrying about You-Know-Who?You should be worrying about U-No-Poo- The Constipation Sensation that's gripping the nation.~ Sign on the Weasley Twins Joke Shop, p.116

3. It is impossible to manufacture or imitate love. When you have seen asmuch of life as I have, you will not underestimate the power of obsessive love.~ Horace Slughorn to Malfoy and Nott, p. 186

4. We teach you not only to use magic but to control it.~ Dumbledore to Riddle, p.273

5. Stop bossing me around.~ Ron to Hermione, p. 293

6. The important thing to remember when Apparating are the three D's: Destination, Determination, Deliberation.~ Twycross, p. 384

7. We all think our subject's most important.~ Professor Slughorn to Professor Trelawney, p. 319

8. Jinxes go in and out of fashion like everything else.~ Lupin to Harry, p. 336

9. I prefer flying.~Harry to Ron, p. 386

10. It's important to fight, and fight again and keep fighting, for only then
could evil be kept at bay.~ Dumbledore
And the following do not have page numbers because I got them from the net.

11. Is a man alive if he can't be killed?~ Cornelius Fudge

12. Let us step into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure~ Albus Dumbledore

13. Don't count your owls before they are delivered.~ Albus Dumbledore.

Hallelujah Chorus: stand or sit?

According to legend, King George II of England rose to his feet when the Hallelujah Chorus was sung. Following protocol his subjects rose up as well. Thus began the tradition of audiences around the world rising during the Hallelujah performace. There are many speculations as to why the king stood or if he even stood at all. The Bangkok Combined Choir is composed of volunteer singers of around twenty nationalities. Every year in December, the choir performs Handel's Messiah. I sang once. (pure luck: there was no audition in 2000) Rehearsals got me thinking of the tradition of standing when the Hallelujah Chorus is sang. I googled what people have to say and my today is a list of opinions about audience decorum during the chorus: 1. The Hallelujah Chorus is like an anthem for the church. Whenever you hear it you are supposed to stand up. 2. Standing for the Hallelujah Chorus just interrupts the performance. 3. People should not be taught that they need to stand up at a certain time ...

Regency delight and love language

Friday's Fave Five: Regency Period Cake Please scroll down for Mommy Moments Ambience of Banana Leaf Restaurant dinners continue to be the trend for us this week. Rustic charm has always been a big hit to me and Banana Leaf's got it. Buckets of real wheat, garlic and pumpkin hang adorning the wall. Plus the sweet and sour fish and chicken with cashew nuts and mushroom are a real pleasure. J Lo Live This was a gift to me two years ago. Cj is too young to be choosy with scents.
