The Humble Sock

Maybe the relationship between socks and knitting also extends to headgear... since we find Hermione knitting hats for the House Elves in book 5. Maybe there's a contrast between the two types of things that can be knitted, having said that no one actually knits socks in the series I don't think... of course where would Mrs. Weasley's jumpers for all but her daughter-in-law-to-be fit in?

Just noticed in book 6 when harry's about to leave with Dumbledore for the cave he gives Ron a pair of socks and Ron's like, "What would I want with a pair of socks?"
Harry's response: "You need what's in them" 'cause the remainder of his Felix Felicis was in there.

Maybe I'm just showing my obsession with running bits... but hey!

Interesting.
Socks have came up more and more in the books. I see something happening with socks in the next book.
It's kinda funny to think that socks will play a part at all. lol!

Good one. I never noticed that.

Like Dobby has knitted some kind of protective magic into the socks.

The Ron=Dumbledore people say that socks are a symbol of mother's love that can be unappreciated until it's too late.

lol! My dad is the one who buys my socks! Ashley's too!

On the thing that was in the socks of Harry's the Felix Felicis, do we reckon Ron and Hermione took it? I mean if they did then reading that night at face value it looks like Felix didn't do his job!

I've forgotten the sequence of events.
When did girlfriend-what's-er-name catch them coming down the stairs,
with Harry in the Cloak? That was lucky.

You meaning when Malfoy was about to kill Dumbledore? And someone said they had blocked the stairs. I think the name could be Alecto, she was with the Death Eater Amycus.

No when Harry took Felix for the first time to get the memory from Sluggy Lavender dumped Ron. That was lucky because Ron had been hoping she would dump him for ages and it was lucky for Harry too cause it was annoying and he hated Ron and Hermione arguing all the time. On the ssame night Ginny and Dean split up.
The point Demelza was referring to about Felix not doing it's job, well it did because Hermione, Ron and the others who took it were lucky and kept safe. It couldn't stop DD dying though because he was meant to die, if he died at all.

Yes, don't you remember how they all kept dodging every curse that was thrown at them?
