- "Zis is nothing. At ze Palace of Beauxbatons, we 'ave ice sculptures all around ze dining chamber at Chreestmas. Zey do not melt, of course… zey are like 'uge statues of diamond, glittering around ze place."
- — Fleur Delacour[src]
A diamond is a very valuable gemstone with remarkable physical characteristics: it has the highest hardness and thermal conductivity of any bulk material and a relatively high optical dispersion which results in its characteristic lustre.[1]
History[]
Yellow diamonds filled the Hufflepuff House points hourglass at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[2]
Pierre Lebeau & Cie traded in diamond, as well as other gemstones.[3]
During the 1986–1987 school year, Albus Dumbledore may have given Jacob's sibling a diamond from the Hufflepuff House point hourglass as thanks for recovering the hourglasses.[4]
The Firebolt broomstick sported a handle that was treated with a polish described as being "diamond-hard".[5]
According to Fleur Delacour, the Palace of Beauxbatons at Christmas time would have ice sculptures that would not melt, but were like huge statues of glittering diamond.[6]
For Christmas, in 1996, Fred and George Weasley offered their mother a brand-new midnight blue witch's hat glittering with what looked like tiny starlike diamonds.[7]
Diamonds were among the gems set into Muriel's tiara, as well as moonstones.[8]
Behind the scenes[]
- Although diamonds are generally thought to be clear gemstones, yellow ones do exist, which would explain the yellow colour of the gemstones in the House points hourglass.
- Whether or not Dumbledore gives Jacob's sibling a ruby, emerald, sapphire, or diamond is dependent on the House that the player character chose.
