Talk:Occlumency

Perhaps occlumency and legilimency should be listed on the same page under legilimency. The definition of occlumency should be included in this page, and a redirection set up from occulmency. The pages are very similar in content, and as they are antonyms they really should be grouped - Anon

I agree that occlumency and legilimency should be listed on the same page, but the main page should be occlumency, as this was mentioned in the books first. Also, note the lack of discussion on the legilimency page. --MrBawn 02:47, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

i made a few clarity related changes to this article. in addition, I also moved the description of legilmency to the top. I know that it was listed as a spoiler, but in the book occlumency and legilmency are named and described on nearly the same page, and i do not believe it constitutes a spoiler of the plot.

Psychology of Dumbledore
Perhaps comments need to be made on the attitudes displayed by all participants during Harry's lessons with Professor Snape? Harry is clearly capable of legilimency, but chooses not to recognise that himself. Dumbledore, as an expert, must have known what Harry was experiencing, but he chose not to relieve Snape of his duties. And there needs to be a comment on the reason why Dumbledore chose not to allow himself to get too close to Harry as, due to the connection between the minds of Harry and Voldemort, he would have exposed weakness to Voldemort.

IIRC, Harry was not a Legilimens;his Shield Charm simply reflected it back at Snape. I've lost the book, so I can't check.

Details from Book 6 need to be added to this page, and its sister page legilimency (assuming we keep it around). --MrBawn 02:47, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

Edit
I've made several alterations to improve readability and logical flow of ideas. I also cleared up the paragraph dealing with OOTP.

Spoiler-ish?
I realize that this is not an article regarding the book series merely information within it. However, I must impose a thought that some contents of this article are obviously post-OOTP and Occlumency is first mentioned there. I would think it wise to place a certain notice to indicate such information is found beyond year five. Simply to ensure those who are researching such information are not welcome to an unpleasant surprise. I would do so, but I do not feel I am yet ready to take on such a task, and feel someone else would be far more capable of doing so. Webmaster Pete 07:08, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree. I almost read something from book seven. Jobarts-Talk 04:41, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
