To bring the next generation of Wizarding Europe together. Favorite : Harry said, staring at Hagrid. Thank you." (Albus Dumbldore, at the opening of welcome feast, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone). NITWIT! Another moment of wonderment from the start of term banquet was Albus Dumbledore’s parting words at the end of his speech: ‘Nitwit! Odd when he says we must do this or that, simply because the Druids say so. Tweak! Minister Riddle has brought peace and prosperity to this great country, order to Azkaban…. Please note that I'm familiar with the theory in this essay (Oy, talk about stretching to make a point. "A visionary epistle. Tweak!’ actually mean?
It might be suggested this a function of her circular writing and the end necessarily recalling the beginning except, again, would Rowling make the DDore brackets random remarks or words that point to his inclusive and loving understanding of people outside categories?If this strikes you as ‘over analysis,’ so be it!

Sort of.. to give our children a common perspective.
The public challenge. Consider that we see Dumbledore’s proclivity toward joking a number of times in the series (“Would you like a sherbert lemon?” … “Socks”). Our job is not to forgive those who have done wrong. Malfoy, startled at this unusual intervention from his Minister, subsided into his seat, his place at the Dispatch Box seized by Riddle. "This Administration is picking foreign quarrels for the sole purpose of covering up its Nearby, Longbottom was nodding his head in approval, urging him on, while several others around him were also trying to listen, their heads inclined in sympathy rather than joining the general commotion.

In short, each of the four words is a “put-down” that one house would use to describe the “other” (anyone not part of their new house).I have to doubt this is the Hufflepuff self-understanding. A friend over at the Barnes and Noble Book Club I’m moderating this month wrote a longish post about the Four Houses, their Four Elements equivalents, and their probable spiritual qualities.
Thanks!I still think that the four words are randomly chosen. If there truly is a deeper meaning, it’s certainly never explained further in-universe or even referenced again, but Dumbledore’s unsettling eccentricity is (“He is a bit mad, isn’t he?”).I disagree with your argument that the four words are arbitrary, however, for points in the post, namely, that these are Dumbledore’s first and last words in the Saga suggests they are not whimsy or arbitrary, that Dumbledore is much better known as a man whose depths are not appreciated or comprehensible than he is as an eccentric or nutter, and Rowling’s care as a writer testify that these words are meaning-full rather than meaning-as-you-like or meaning-less-if-not-empty.I absolutely totally agree with what JohnABaptist wrote on September 30, 2007 at 6:08 pm.Hi.

Nitwit! (Nitwit, mud/slush, jewel/gem/trinket, small potato).You know how some professors start off by making a silly joke? Does the Right Honourable gentleman wish for Britain to follow the herd like dogs follow a dust cart?
"Harry held his ground, demanding to be heard, his clenched hand raised - it still gripped Daphne's letter - while Riddle's loyalists were jeering, shouting at him to sit down and resume his place, as if he was a mere boy walloped by his teacher. But Dumbledore is all about the clever malleability of interpretations, so it could be one, the other, or both disguised as nothing.I find your analysis of the other words convincing, with the exception of “Tweak” which I also think is a bit of a stretch, not quite directly related to Hufflepuff’s central characteristics – but I don’t myself have a better explanation!
