r/harrypotter on Reddit: Is anyone else really bothered by the 'Dumbledore' quote "Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light"?
February 8, 2013 -

I get that the Dumbledore character in the movie said it. But it bothers me because when people credit it to Dumbledore, I feel like it implies that the original (real) Dumbledore of JK Rowling's creation would have said it. But he didn't, and I don't think he would have said something so simplistic and sappy. He was always more sophisticated than that, even when he was being silly. So it bothers me that people credit this to Dumbledore all the time, when the real Dumbledore never would have said it. One could argue that it doesn't really matter, since the character's name in the movies is Dumbledore, so who else are they going to credit it to? But to me the Dumbledore in the movies (like many of the characters) is just a weak, altered shadow of the book version.

Your thoughts?
