Daily Dialogue — September 28, 2016

TRELAWNEY: He will return tonight.
POTTER: Sorry?
TRELAWNEY: Tonight, he who betrayed his friends at Hogwarts with murder shall break free. Innocent blood shall be spilled, and servant and master shall be reunited once more.

— Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), screenplay by Steve Kloves, based on the novel by J.K. Rowling

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Clairvoyance. Today’s suggestion by Will King.

Trivia: J.K. Rowling based the dementors on her battle with depression.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary by Will: “Up to this point, Professor Trelawney has appeared to be a somewhat distracted, less-than-fully-aware character. Her build-up to this moment painted her as hardly someone to be wary of. Even after her pronouncement she seems completely unaware of what just transpired. It was a choice bit of writing to use her to deliver this prophecy, which heightened the gravity of its importance to Harry.”
