How can I use name in a sentence?
I told you I would read the name somewhere before, I read it on the train coming here — listen to this: ‘Dumbledore is particularly famous for his defeat of the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, for the discovery of the twelve uses of dragon's blood, and his work on alchemy with his partner, Nicolas Flamel'!
He sat down, stared into the fire for a few seconds, and then said, It begins, I suppose, with — with a person called — but it is incredible yeh do not know his name, everyone in our world knows — Who?
He will be famous — a legend — I would not be surprised if today was known as Harry Potter day in the future — there will be books written about Harry — every child in our world will know his name!
They had indeed been searching books for Flamel's name ever since Hagrid had let it slip, because how else were they going to find out what Snape was trying to steal?
We must've been through hundreds of books already and we can not find him anywhere — just give us a hint — I know I have read his name somewhere.
