Slughorn’s Hourglass

In Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince movie, Professor Slughorn has in his office an hourglass that measures the quality of conversation. When it is stimulating, the sand runs slowly.

When Tom Riddle is shown in the memory asking Slughorn about Horcruxes, the sand in the hourglass stops completely.

When was the last time you’ve had such an engaging conversation? One so stimulating and interesting that time stops?
