Sonic 2 - The Loop

"I use the Pensieve. One just siphons the excess thoughts from one's listen, pours them into the bowl, and examines them at one's leisure. It becomes easier to spot patterns and links, you lot understand, when they are in this form."

— Albus Dumbledore explaining his Pensieve to Harry Potter^[src]

A Pensieve was a very rare and powerful magical item. They were a magical device used to review and shop memories.^{[two] [1]} When in use, a silvery light shines from its contents. This light was brilliant, whitish silver, cloud-similar, and moving ceaselessly. Harry Potter thought the content in the basin looked like "light made liquid — or like wind fabricated solid".^[one]

Description

"One merely siphons the excess thoughts from ane's mind, pours them into the basin, and examines them at 1's leisure. It becomes easier to spot patterns and links, you empathize, when they are in this form."

— Dumbledore explaining the purpose of a Pensieve to Harry Potter^[src]

A Pensieve

It had the appearance of a shallow rock or metal bowl, into which runes and strange symbols were carved and precious stones were fitted. It was filled with a silvery substance that appears to be a cloudy liquid/gas.^[two] The collected memories of people who had siphoned their recollections into it.^{[ii] [one]}

Once memories were siphoned into the Pensieve, they could so exist viewed from a not-participant, tertiary-person point of view. Attributable to the highly personal nature of extracted memories, and the potential for abuse, almost Pensieves were entombed with their owners along with the memories they contain. Some witches and wizards would laissez passer on their Pensive/memories to another person.^{[two] [i]}

Pensieves were intensely personal, since memories oft held recollections of things one would wish to hide or forget. The Pensieve of a powerful witch or magician was typically buried with them when they die. However, the Hogwarts Pensieve did not vest to a particular person, only to the school.^[2]

History

A Pensieve was located in the Headmaster's Office at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where it was used past the diverse Headmaster and Headmistresses of the school over the years.^[1]

Behind the scenes

A Pensieve as seen in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite

• In the books, the Pensieve is said to exist able to sit on a tabular array, however, in the 4th movie, the Hogwarts Pensieve is much larger and is kept in a separate cabinet. This is contradicted by the 6th film, where it can sit down on the table and looks equally if it is fabricated out of metal instead of stone. This contradiction is resolved in the 8th film, when Harry goes to the headmaster's office and removes the metallic dish from the stone basin before watching Severus Snape's memories.
  • In the film, the Pensieve while in its chiffonier bears a strong resemblance to a baptismal font, specifically an corker or affusion font, primarily used for the baptism of infants.
• In the film accommodation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Burn down, when Harry used the pensieve, he was sitting in the court itself and watching the hearing as if he was part of it, while in the moving picture accommodation of Harry Potter and the One-half-Blood Prince, Harry is just watching the retentiveness merely is non seen anywhere in it.
• In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Role 2 (video game) after the end credits in celebration of the determination of the saga, Harry in one case once again enters the Pensieve and sees flashbacks from all of the other video games with a bulletin saying "Thanks for playing".
• In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Function two, Severus Snape's memories take the form of tears. Equally such, Snape specifically instructs Harry to put them in the Pensieve, something he does non do in the book, since Harry is familiar with the wispy class of thoughts.

Etymology

Pensieve is portmanteau, combining the words 'pensive' and 'sieve.' The latter is an object in which something may be sorted, drained or separated, and 'Pensive' is derived from French, and originally from the Latin 'pensare,' significant 'to ponder,' and in mutual English usage ways 'thoughtful' or 'reflective;' thus a 'pensieve' allows for the sorting of thoughts, or memories. Pensive can as well refer to a tense mood someone seems to exist in, and indeed many of the memories Harry views in it are of tense or awkward moments.
