Summary

This quote from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series reminds readers of the power of words and the importance of facing fears head-on. Dumbledore advises Harry to use the name "Voldemort" instead of the feared alternative, "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named." By speaking and acknowledging the name, Dumbledore suggests that it weakens the fear and empowers individuals to confront their fears directly. The quote teaches a valuable lesson about the significance of language and the influence it has on our perception of things.
