Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Square soft-grey editorial card for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), featuring Albus Dumbledore’s line about finding happiness in dark times, a symbolic monochrome light illustration, birthday context for Michael Gambon, and a dry closing kicker.

“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”

Albus Dumbledore · Michael Gambon

Why today

19 October is Michael Gambon’s birthday. In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Gambon makes his first appearance as Albus Dumbledore. Addressing Hogwarts after warning the students about the Dementors, he offers a little illumination: “Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”

Even wizards occasionally recommend the obvious switch.
