A Circle Mystery

From Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:
"Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?"
"...a circle has no beginning," Luna Lovegood once cleverly said.

But really, does a circle have no beginning?
I mean, there has to be something that begun the circle,
or else there would be no circle at all..........

What do you think?

i create the pheonix and it decides to light itself on fire. so there is a beginning when i start drawing the circle, once i complete it it continues forever until i erase its bonds.

The beginning of a circle is an ellipse.

The end of the ellipse is the beginning of a circle.

Fardin, that sounds like the same reason that the chicken came before the egg.

I notice that Luna was noncommittal about the end a circle.

The beginning of a circle is the point at which one places his writing apparatus upon one's object to be written upon.

. the egg comes first before the phoenix then the fire.. there would be no ashes if there's no phoenix... its like where did fawkes..a phoenix hatched from an egg then dies by igniting itself then turns down to ashes....

a circle starts from a dot.. it end towards the dot or the beginning
