"I open at the close." Who said it: Snitch/Dumbledore Book/film: The Deathly Hallows It probably took some of you a very long time to understand what this message meant and even when you did find out, you wished that you back to your former, ignorant self. "I open at the close" is a metaphor for life and death, the continuous cycle and as Mufasa says, "we're all part of the circle of life." This is when (some of) you realised that Harry was a horcrux and he was going to have to die.
