Cloaked in a heartfelt eulogy for Cedric Diggory, Albus Dumbledore warns the students and faculty of Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang, that difficult choices will arise for all of them. The phrasing, which presents morality and simplicity as mutually exclusive concepts, offers a subtle encouragement to all he addresses to brace themselves to make sacrifices for the sake of what is right.
