To make matters worse, Hogwarts is playing host to the Dementors, the terrifying Azkaban guards who are stationed at the school in an attempt to protect the students from Black. The Dementors suck the souls from their victims and, unfortunately for Harry, they seem to have more of an effect on him than the rest of his classmates. Their ominous presence chills the young wizard to the bone, rendering him virtually HOPELESS

HOPELESSNESS

Hopelessness is anticipated defeat.
--KARL THEODOR JASPERS (1883–1969)

Naked to earth was I brought—
Naked to earth I descend.
Why should I labor for nought,
Seeing how naked the end?
--PALLADAS (C. 400)

There are no hopeless situations. There are only people who have grown hopeless about them.
--CLARE BOOTHE LUCE (1903–1987)

When you are at the end of your rope, God is there to catch you—but not before.
--ERWIN W. LUTZER

When you say a situation or a person is hopeless, you are slamming the door in the face of God.
--CHARLES L. ALLEN (1913– )

Romans 5:2 (New Living Translation)
Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of highest privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God's glory.
