Darkest of Times was an event of the Calamity.[1]

Brilliant Great Hall[]

"Hello, I'm glad I found you — I'm afraid we've got a situation on our hands. The Calamity has become more active, It seems to centre around Dumbledore... and maybe Voldemort.

Now, most of the new Foundables can be tied directly to Dumbledore, but... depending on how you look at them, they're connected to Voldemort, too. We need to be vigilant.

Harry Potter[src]
Images Name Description Remarks
Brilliant Fawkes WU
Brilliant Fawkes Fawkes was a highly faithful pet to his owner, Albus Dumbledore, providing aid to the headmaster and those loyal to him when they were in danger. One need look no further than Dumbledore's Patronus - a phoenix - to know the depth of their bond.
"Fawkes was a loyal companion to Dumbledore, everybody knows that. It's less commonly known that one of his feathers was used to make my wand... and also Voldemort's. "
Harry Potter[src]
Brilliant Dumbledore WU
Brilliant Dumbledore The Philosopher's Stone was used to create the Elixir of Life, capable of indefinitely extending one's lifespan. Suspecting the Stone was coveted by those with dark intentions. Headmaster Albus Dumbledore hid the Philosopher's Stone within the Mirror of Erised.
"Seeing Dumbledore struggle against an Inferius reminds me of that moment in the cave, trying to recover one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. I don't think it's a great sign that the Calamity is manifesting Inferius Confoundables."
Harry Potter[src]
Brilliant Post Owl WU
Brilliant Post Owl Highly intelligent and well trained, Post Owls are entrusted with delivering wizarding correspondences, sometimes flying long distances to track down their parcel's recipient.  
"You recover an owl, and I'm here wondering if there's a deeper meaning. It's just an owl... right?"
Harry Potter[src]
Brilliant Glass Jug of Pumpkin Juice WU
Brilliant Glass Jug of Pumpkin Juice Pumpkin juice is a popular pumpkin-based beverage that is served throughout the wizarding world, usually chilled.
"I don't even want to theorize why Pumpkin juice is a Foundable. If it turns out there's something sinister about Pumpkin Juice, I'd be gutted."
Harry Potter[src]
Brilliant Professor Trelawney 2 WU
Brilliant Professor Trewlaney Although she was widely suspected to be a fraud by her Divination students, Professor Trelawney made at least two true prophesies: one concerning the birth of a boy who would have the power to defeat Lord Voldemort, and one about the Dark Lord's rebirth.
"Trelawney was Professor of Divination while Dumbledore was Headmaster, but she also made prophecies about Voldemort... I have no idea what to rake of this."
Harry Potter[src]
Brilliant Professor Burbage WU
Brilliant Professor Burbage Before her untimely death at the hands of Lord Voldemort, Charity Burbage was the Muggle Studies professor at Hogwarts School.
"If you remember, Professor Burbage was brutally murdered by Voldemort for being an advocate of Muggle rights. Why would the Calamity make her a Foundable? Is it her connection to Voldemort, or Dumbledore?"
Harry Potter[src]
"Here's what we know so far the Calamity is producing Foundables related to Dumbledore. Or Voldemort. OR both of them. I don't quite know what to make of that."
Harry Potter[src]

Brilliant Headmaster's Office[]

"Hello again. We're seeing another surge in Calamity activity, and once again, we're finding Foundables that have ties to both Dumbledore and Voldemort. We need to figure out who the Calamity is actually focused on.

If the Calamity is manifesting things related to Voldemort, then we may not have a Threat level high enough to define what we're up against.

Harry Potter[src]
Images Name Description Remarks
Brilliant Pensieve WU
Brilliant Pensieve In his search for information about Voldemort's past and endeavors, Albus Dumbledore collected memories from witches and wizards who crossed the Dark Lord's path, and used the Pensieve to view them.
"This was Dumbledore's personal Pensieve. While I used it with him to experience memories of Tom Riddle's past, I think its safe to say that this Foundable is far more connected to Dumbledore than Voldemort."
Harry Potter[src]
Brilliant Young Dumbledore WU
Brilliant Young Dumbledore In his quest to defeat Voldemort, Albus Dumbledore sifted through the memories of witches and wizards who knew the Dark Lord before his rise to power - including his own memories of meeting young Tom Riddle in a Muggle orphanage.
"Dumbledore once showed me his memory of meeting a young Tom Riddle, and he was wearing a purple suit. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but this Foundable feels more Dumbledore” than ”Voldemort” to me."
Harry Potter[src]
Brilliant Memory Vials WU
Brilliant Memory Vials Albus Dumbledore used these glass vials to store extracted memories, which he could review at his leisure in the Pensieve. This process enabled him to make connections that he might otherwise have missed.
"These vials definitely belonged to Dumbledore. He stored memories related to Tom Riddle in them, but they were memories from the time before he became Voldemort, and were used to fight him."
Harry Potter[src]
Brilliant Sherbet Lemon WU
Brilliant Sherbet Lemon Sherbet Lemons are hard, lemon-flavored sweets sold in Muggle shops. Albus Dumbledore, who was rather fond of them, kept a few in the pockets of his robes to enjoy himself or offer to his companions.
"Dumbledore loved Sherbet lemons, and I have a hard time imagining Voldemort enjoying a Muggle sweet That there's a Sherbet Lemon Foundable is a great sign the Calamity is focusing on Dumbledore."
Harry Potter[src]
Brilliant Griffin Statue WU
Brilliant Griffin Statue Regal and imposing, this bronze Griffin Statue stands guard at the door to the Headmaster's Office at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"That statue guards the entrance to the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts. I always found it a bit intimidating, but we never been happier to see it. This Foundable is one hundred percent Dumbledore-related."
Harry Potter[src]
Brilliant Deluminator WU
Brilliant Deluminator A truly gifted and inventing wizard, Albus Dumbledore created the Deluminator, a device that allows its user to absorb and store light, then release it at will. He used the Deluminator to darken the street lamps of Privet Drive the night that he delivered the infant Harry Potter to his aunt and uncle.
"Dumbledore invented the Deluminator, so I think we can safely say that this Foundable is not related to Voldemort."
Harry Potter[src]
"You know, when you put it all together, this surge in Calamity activity was tied to Dumbledore, and his fight against darkness. We won that fight, and we'll overcome this. Calamity, too.

The lesson I'm learning is to try to focus on what we're actually seeing from the Calamity, and not what we fear it could become.
"
Harry Potter[src]
