“Books are like mirrors: if a fool looks in, you cannot expect a genius to look out.”

“You haven't got a letter on yours," George observed. "I suppose she thinks you don't forget your name. But we're not stupid-we know we're called Gred and Forge.”

“You know, Minister, I disagree with Dumbledore on many counts...but you cannot deny he's got style...”

“We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already.”

“Let us step into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.”

“Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.”

“Dumbledore says people find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right.”

“Cinderella? Snow White? What's that? An illness?”

“I don't believe in the kind of magic in my books. But I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book.”

“The thing about growing up with Fred and George," said Ginny thoughtfully, "is that you sort of start thinking anything's possible if you've got enough nerve.”

“Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect.”

“Is 'fat' really the worst thing a human being can be? Is 'fat' worse than 'vindictive', 'jealous', 'shallow', 'vain', 'boring' or 'cruel'? Not to me.”

“Oh well... I'd just been thinking, if you had died, you'd have been welcome to share my toilet.”

“Yeah, Quirrell was a great teacher. There was just that minor drawback of him having Lord Voldemort sticking out of the back of his head!”

“Understanding is the first step to acceptance, and only with acceptance can there be recovery.”

“One can never have enough socks," said Dumbledore. "Another Christmas has come and gone and I didn't get a single pair. People will insist on giving me books.”

“It is my belief... that the truth is generally preferable to lies.”

“Of all the trees we could've hit, we had to get one that hits back.”

“It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high. Some people, perhaps, would say that there was little to choose between the two ways, but Dumbledore knew - and so do I, thought Harry, with a rush of fierce pride, and so did my parents - that there was all the difference in the world.”

“Of all the trees we could've hit, we had to get one that hits back.”

“He was my mum and dad's best friend. He's a convicted murderer, but he's broken out of wizard prison and he's on the run. He likes to keep in touch with me, though...keep up with my news...check if I'm happy...”

“There are some things you can't share without ending up liking each other, and knocking out a twelve-foot mountain troll is one of them.”

“Youth can not know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.”

“Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!”

“Honestly, if you were any slower, you’d be going backward.”

“Give her hell from us, Peeves.”

“It is a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well.”

“The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well.”

“Ah, music," he said, wiping his eyes. "A magic beyond all we do here!”

“Ginny!" said Mr. Weasley, flabbergasted. "Haven't I taught you anything? What have I always told you? Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain?”

“What happened down in the dungeons between you and Professor Quirrell is a complete secret, so, naturally the whole school knows.”

“I hope you're pleased with yourselves. We could all have been killed - or worse, expelled. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to bed.”

“The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.”

“Why are you worrying about YOU-KNOW-WHO, when you should be worrying about YOU-NO-POO? The constipation sensation that's gripping the nation!”

“We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all of the power we need inside ourselves already.”

“So light a fire!" Harry choked. "Yes...of course...but there's no wood!" ...

“You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.”

“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”

“I'm going to keep going until I succeed — or die. Don't think I don't know how this might end. I've known it for years.”

“Don't let the muggles get you down.”

“But Dumbledore says he doesn't care what they do as long as they don't take him off the Chocolate Frog cards.”

“You think the dead we loved truly ever leave us? You think that we don't recall them more clearly in times of great trouble?”

“To hurt is as human as to breathe.”

“Accio Brain!”

“From now on, I don't care if my tea leaves spell 'Die, Ron, Die,' I'm chucking them in the bin where they belong.”

“Sometimes you remind me a lot of James. He called it my 'furry little problem' in company. Many people were under the impression that I owned a badly behaved rabbit.”

“Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.”

“Don’t put your wand there, boy! ... Better wizards than you have lost buttocks, you know!”

“Does it hurt?" The childish question had escaped Harry's lips before he could stop it.

"Dying? Not at all," said Sirius. "Quicker and easier than falling asleep.”
