    "The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure. Thoughts are not etched on the inside of skulls, to be perused by any invader. The mind is a complex and many-layered thing... It is true, however, that those who have mastered Legilimency are able, under certain conditions, to delve into the minds of their victims and to interpret their findings correctly."-- Severus Snape In our legilimency episode, we discuss how the magic works, people we know who are accomplished Legilimens (like Queenie and Voldemort), and different times this power may have been used through the series.
