In Chamber of Secrets, Dumbledore reveals that he sees himself "holding a pair of thick woollen socks" in the Mirror of Erised, which shows "nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts." He also makes the wonderful remark that "One can never have enough socks...Another Christmas has come and gone and I didn't get a single pair. People will insist on giving me books".

HP fans can read the essay on socks at the HP Lexicon at http://www.hp-lexicon.org/essays/socks.html


...I wonder if my kilt is in the que yet?;-)
Um, that was from Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone (or Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone in the US) not Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets.
