You have to take the time to park and go inside, where intricately carved wood and wrought iron filigree are lit from above by a domed atrium. Welton Becket also designed the three original buildings of the Los Angeles Music Center. You can't really get a good drive by view of the Getty Center on it's hilltop perch in Brentwood. He pointed out many scenarios where a flashlight could be useful — whether tracing the source of a leak under the sink, navigating through a dark attic, or ensuring security during an unexpected blackout. Dye recommended looking for water and impact-resistant models to ensure they can handle the rough and tumble of home repair work.

The 5 most unique gas stations in Los Angeles

Right next to the Disney Concert Hall is The Broad, which opened in 2015. You have to get up close to really appreciate the "veil and vault" concept of architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro. The white honeycomb covering is suspended over the interior box, letting in natural light, but preventing direct sun exposure to the art within. With the spring season in full swing and summer just around the corner, more people are checking off their to-do lists and getting their homes and apartments into tip-top shape for hosting. An excellent example of American Arts and Crafts style architecture, Gamble House was designed in 1908 by Charles and Henry Greene for David and Mary Gamble (Procter and Gamble). Architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue designed it to in the style of ancient Egypt.

Albus Dumbledore visits to retrieve the Horcrux, and Voldemort returns to check on the Horcrux and is enraged to find it gone. In mythological lore, she claimed the life of Lucius, a prospective heir to the Roman empire, and was linked to virtue, or virtus (morals / strength of character). It was believed that those with ill-morals, or "lacking virtue", displeased the goddess, and invited "bad fortune" upon themselves. Lucius Malfoy, one of Lord Voldemort's followers and Death Eaters, seems to take his name from the Roman figure; and, he, too, "suffered Voldemort's wrath".

After scandal, movie producer Randall Emmett is flying under the radar with a new name

Well, perhaps Humphrey Belcher was a fan of Muggle-style cheese fondue and wanted to provide a proper wizarding version.... From Professor Trelawney's comments, at first these appear to be ordinary playing cards rather than Tarot cards. Yes, people do sometimes use ordinary playing cards for that sort of thing, but Trelawney's later references to "The Lightning-Struck Tower" indicate that sometimes, at least, she uses a Tarot deck instead. With Morfin's arrest and subsequent death in Azkaban, the house remains empty and presumably falls into ruin. Tom Marvolo Riddle, in his later guise as Lord Voldemort, does revisit the shack to hide a Horcrux there.

Family traits

His French-cuffed shirt is sometimes stretched tight across his midsection. He is slouching and gaunt-faced with his hair sitting atop his head like a ragged ship’s sail inflated with air. When Richard Neutra's wife Dione dies in 1990, she left the house to California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, which administers the house as a museum. The 14-acre campus is a showcase for the interior design trades, but also has some public galleries and lots of public art. You can photograph the outside as much as you want, but taking photos inside is discouraged. “Beyond simple tasks like hanging pictures, a good hammer is indispensable for more demanding jobs such as removing door hinges or repairing parts of a wooden fence.

Buckminster Fuller's geodesic design, but the rest were never built. Built in 16 weeks using 316 interlocking concrete panels, the theatre opened in 1963 with a curved 86-foot wide screen. The Capitol Records Building near Hollywood and Vine was designed by architect Welton Becket in 1956 to resemble a stack of vinyl 45 records.

Marvolo, in particular, seems prepared to dismiss the entire magical governance structure because it does not accept his ancestry as somehow setting him above other wizards. Ogden does not realise that Morfin Gaunt is speaking Parseltongue. The Gaunts and the Potters are both descended from the Peverell family. Although Dumbledore thought that Harry had gained his ability to speak Parseltongue from the back-firing Killing Curse as a baby, it may be that what the curse did was bring out a latent inherited ability. Once a very wealthy family, the Gaunt family had squandered much of their gold early due to the Gaunt family's love for grandeur and mental instability, leaving them with very little inheritances for the later generations.

Blood status

"Can you not think of any measure Merope could have taken to make Tom Riddle forget his Muggle companion, and fall in love with her instead?""The Imperius Curse?" Harry suggested. "Or a love potion?""Very good. Personally, I am inclined to think that she used a love potion.  I am sure it would have seemed more romantic to her...." Two doors led off the main room, which served as kitchen and living room combined. Morfin was sitting in a filthy armchair beside the smoking fire, twisting a live adder between his thick fingers and crooning softly at it in Parseltongue.... There was a scuffling noise in the corner beside the open window and Harry realised that there was somebody else in the room, a girl whose ragged grey dress was the exact colour of the dirty stone wall behind her.

Dumbledore's comments about memories being "guesswork" is easy to read past without thinking through what he is really saying. People's (and wizard's) memories are only as good as their own personal perception of the world around them. If they are mistaken, what they see and what Dumbledore and Harry may conclude from these Pensieve memories may also be wrong. Here and there were directions for what looked like spells that the Prince had made up himself.

Although, to the wizarding world at large, it seemed that these three families ended with the death of Voldemort, in truth they continue with his secret daughter, Delphini. Delphini was later sent to Azkaban for her crimes of murder and attempting to illegally alter timelines.[8] It was unknown what Delphini last name was, if she went by the surname Riddle, Gaunt, or Slytherin. Through all of this, the defendant has been little more than a blur in a red tie.

Marvolo, despite his old age, also shows some of the same abilities, as he is imprisoned in Azkaban for attacking Ministry of Magic employees. It seemed to him a very strange location to choose for a house, or else an odd decision to leave the trees growing nearby, blocking all light and the view of the valley below. He wondered whether it was inhabited; its walls were mossy and so many tiles had fallen off the roof that the rafters were visible in places. Nettles grew all around it, their tips reaching the windows, which were tiny and thick with grime.

In addition to keeping a wrench around the house, Dye told his followers to look for a suitable flashlight. Homeowners should always be prepared to work under different weather and light conditions. As a seasoned expert, Dye has formed some strong opinions on what sort of wrench works best.

Look below the glassy skyscrapers and you'll find Art Deco high-rises in Downtown Los Angeles, craftsman bungalows in Pasadena and envious estates along the hills and beaches. We think Los Angeles architecture is worth celebrating, so we've put together this guide to some of the city's most remarkable buildings and styles. The House of Gaunt was once a prominent, wealthy family in the wizarding world, and originated from many powerfully magical wizards and witches. Gaunt's heir deposed a king and usurped the throne, possibly alluding to the Gaunts' descendant Voldemort's attempts to overthrow wizarding Britain's government and rule it himself.

With each lesson from Dumbledore, the readers, along with Harry, better understand Voldemort and we even feel sympathy for him. We see him abandoned by his father before his birth, his mother's death and his entrance into life at the orphanage. From the early Twentieth Century through today, the world's most famous and influential architects have created amazing buildings, homes and structures in LA and Southern California. These are just a few of the most beautiful - and unusual places you can see on your personal architecture tour. By the early twentieth century, the Gaunts had been reduced to poverty, possessing only a few old heirlooms and living in a small, run-down shack.

Los Angeles is full of beautiful Craftsman houses, but the Gamble House in Pasadena, designed inside and out by brothers Charles and Henry Greene is the cream of the crop. The house was built in 1908 as a summer house for David and Mary Gamble of the Procter and Gamble Company. The house incorporates Japanese elements into a Swiss chalet framework using craftsman techniques. Every detail in the house from the peg wood paneling to the stained glass windows was designed by the brothers, with Charles being responsible for more of the interior details.

Henry Tudor (later Henry VII)'s mother was a Beaufort, and his claim to the throne derived from her. Therefore, John of Gaunt is an ancestor of the House of Tudor. Up until the 20th century, every single member of the Gaunt family was pure-blood.[1] They were also the last known descendants of Salazar Slytherin, as well as descendants of the Peverells, famed ancestors in whom they took great pride.
