"Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." - Albus Dumbledore

Hello, fellow Potterheads!
I have been thinking about Dumbledore's quotes recently, and how true they are to life (either the wizarding or the muggle world.) Like this one above! "Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." How much more true can that be.
That being said, I think that for the next few weeks, i will be choosing some Albus Dumbledore quotes and just talking about them.
This quote has to be one of my favorites, because of how and when he says it. He says it during the feast on the first night at Hogwarts. He says it the best of reasons. He knows that dark times are coming, and that there is nothing he can really do about it. So he chooses to tell his pupils that they need to look on the light side of things during that year at Hogwarts. He cares so deeply about his students, that he comforts them before they are even in turmoil.
This is also a great use of foreshadowing by JK Rowling. There she goes, being absolutely flawless again. But later in the books, Dumbledore gives Ron Weasley the light-putter-outer Dumbledore uses when he places Harry at the Dursley's "home." When Ron (spoiler alert) leaves Harry and Hermione during their hunt for Horcruxes in the seventh book, he uses the putter-outer in order to find them again, and save Harry's life. They were in a very dark situation, but Ron literally turned on the light to make the situation ten times better, and all around more convenient for everybody involved.
So there we have it, the two reasons that I love the quote so much. I will probably come up with more reasons as my Harry Potter loving life goes on, but for now there are only two.
I have to admit, even through I am not a huge fan of the guy, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore can have his insanely wise moments. Like this one.
Until next time!
