In case any other Harry Potter nerds come along and worry their memory is completely failing them:

Albums Dumbledore says this in the books. Hermione only has this quote in the movie adaptations.




Wouldn't call myself a nerd, but I was so confused thinking "isn't this what Dumbledore said to Harry when asking about Voldemort?"

Guess it just shows retention of books overrides movies, given that I've consumed both.

Your Wikipedia link is very useful since it clarifies that Damnatio memoriae refers to exclusion "from official accounts".


>Today's best known examples of damnatio memoriae from antiquity concern chiselling stone inscriptions or deliberately omitting certain information from them.

>The term is used in modern scholarship to cover a wide array of official and unofficial sanctions through which the physical remnants and memories of a deceased individual are destroyed.

Certainly not exclusively from official accounts. Not sure what your point here is?


Why the scare quotes?


The quotes are from the article's title.
