THE BOOK on Dumbledore
4 Best Book Examples• “Would you care for a lemon drop?” A lemon drop? “They’re a kind of
Muggle sweet I’m rather fond of”…… at a very serious moment when he is having a conversation about Voldemort.
• Dumbledore gave a great sniff as he took a golden watch from his pocket and examined it. It was a very odd watch. It had twelve hands but no numbers; instead, little planets were moving around the edge. It must have made sense to Dumbledore, though, because he put it back in his pocket and said, “Hagrid’s late….”
• “Even if I could, I wouldn’t. Scars can come in handy. I have one myself above my left knee that is a perfect map of the London Underground…”
• “Dumbledore had swapped his pointed wizard’s hat for a flowered bonnet, and was chuckling merrily at a joke Professor Flitwick had just read him.”
More Important Book Examples• "I see myself holding a pair of thick, woolen socks." Harry stared.
"One can never have enough socks," said Dumbledore. "Another Christmas has come and gone and I didn't get a pair. People will insist on giving me books.”
• "It's lucky it's dark. I haven't blushed so much since Madame Pomfrey told me she liked my new earmuffs.”
• "What happened down in the dungeons between you and Professor Quirrel is a complete secret, so, naturally, the whole school knows.”
• “Harry lay there, lost for words. Dumbledore hummed a little and smiled at the ceiling.
• “Ah, music,” he said, wiping his eyes. “A magic beyond all we do here! And now, bedtime. Off you trot!
• He was wearing long robes, a purple cloak that swept the ground, and high-heeled, buckled boots.
