Knight2King

[pegkerr]

I may have mentioned this before, but I'm rather taken with the rather elaborately drawn Knight2King theory for the Harry Potter books. (Click here to read the first essay in the series, and then follow it up with this one which further developed the theory after the release of Order of the Phoenix.)

They sure had a lot of fun making it up, anyway. And some of the speculations and supporting evidence are surprisingly convincing.

What do you think?

As signs that I have too much time on my hands go, this one takes the cake ...

Albus Dumbledore
Ronald Bilius Weasley

Albus D_ _ _l_or_ is what one can make with the letters of Ron's name. What are you left with?

A weird coincidence? Or Dobby's deliberate transliteration? You decide.

To make it weirder? I have pretty much no latin, but the letters missing from Dumbledore's name? ...
umb_d_e

The first is the root for protection, leading to words such as these:
umbo -onis m. [a boss , round projection]; esp. [the center of a shield]; [a shield; the elbow].

umbra -ae f. [a shade , shadow; a shady place; protection; idleness, pleasant rest; a phantom, ghost, shade, semblance; an uninvited guest; a fish, perhaps grayling].

And "de" is defined thusly:

de prep. with abl. (1) in space , [down from, away from]. Transf., [coming from] an origin; [taken from] a class or stock, [made from] a material, [changed from] a previous state; of information, [from] a source. (2) in time, [following from, after; in the course of, during]. (3) [about] a subject; [on account of] a cause; [according to] a standard.

So ... the letters left in Ron's name imply the absence or negation of the Weezy [sic], and those in Dumbledore's indicate protection from displaced origins.

This is what one can be inspired to by random interesting posts, after a long, hard day of studying for orals ...

*laughs* Oh, my! You should send that to the website to draw it to their attention!
