The following includes information about a scriptural quotation in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

On the tomb of Kendra and Ariana Dumbledore is written Matthew 6:21. Here's a bit of context:

¹⁹Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; ²⁰but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. ²¹For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matthew 6:19-21

We in the liturgical churches read this on Ash Wednesday, but Harry Potter reads it on Christmas Eve.

An astute cultural/theological observation by Mrs. Rowling, I think.
