“The world isn’t split into good people and Death Eaters.”

“You should write a book," Ron told Hermione as he cut up his potatoes, "translating mad things girls do so boys can understand them.”

“According to Madam Pomfrey, thoughts could leave deeper scars than almost anything else.”

“Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it.”

“There's always room for a story that can transport people to another place.”

“There is no good and evil, there is only power and those too weak to seek it.”

“Harry was left to ponder in silence the depths to which girls would sink to get revenge.”

“Don't worry. You're just as sane as I am.”

“For instance, this new idea that You-Know-Who can kill with a single glance from his eyes. That’s a basilisk, listeners. One simple test: Check whether the thing that’s glaring at you has got legs. If it has, it’s safe to look into its eyes, although if it really is You-Know-Who, that’s still likely to be the last thing you ever do.”

“A breeze ruffled the neat hedges of Privet Drive, which lay silent and tidy under the inky sky, the very last place you would expect astonishing things to happen. Harry Potter rolled over inside his blankets without waking up. One small hand closed on the letter beside him and he slept on, not knowing he was special, not knowing he was famous, not knowing he would be woken in a few hours' time by Mrs. Dursley's scream as she opened the front door to put out the milk bottles, nor that he would spend the next few weeks being prodded and pinched by his cousin Dudley...He couldn't know that at this very moment, people meeting in secret all over the country were holding up their glasses and saying in hushed voices: "To Harry Potter - the boy who lived!”

“Every second he breathed, the smell of the grass, the cool air on his face, was so precious: To think that people had years and years, time to waste, so much time it dragged, and he was clinging to each second.”

“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 an invader. The mind is a complex and many-layered thing.”

“If you don’t like to read, you haven’t found the right book.”

“Your mother died to save you. If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love. Love as powerful as your mother's for you leaves it's own mark. To have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever.”

“I'll be in my bedroom, making no noise and pretending I'm not there.”

“I want to commit the murder I was imprisoned for.”

“We did it, we bashed them wee Potter's the one, and Voldy's gone moldy, so now let's have fun!”

“Here lies Dobby, a free elf.”

“I mean, you could claim that anything's real if the only basis for believing in it is that nobody's proved it doesn't exist!”

“Just because it’s taken you three years to notice, Ron, doesn't mean no one else has spotted I'm a girl!”

“Time will not slow down when something unpleasant lies ahead.”

“Dumbledore will only leave from Hogwarts when there are none loyal to him!”

“Well, I certainly don't," said Percy sanctimoniously. "I shudder to think what the state of my in-tray would be if I was away from work for five days."

“Snape's patronus was a doe,' said Harry, 'the same as my mother's because he loved her for nearly all of his life, from when they were children.”

“I enjoyed the meetings, too. It was like having friends.”

“Whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.”

“It is a strange thing, but when you are dreading something, and would give anything to slow down time, it has a disobliging habit of speeding up.”

“As much money and life as you could want! The two things most human beings would choose above all - the trouble is, humans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things that are worst for them.”

“What would come, would come...and you would have to meet it, when it did.”

“When you have seen as much of life as I have, you will not underestimate the power of obsessive love.”

“This is night, Diddykins. That's what we call it when it goes all dark like this. ”

“The last words Albus Dumbledore spoke to the pair of us?' Harry is the best hope we have. Trust him.”

“DUMBLEDORE'S ARMY, STILL RECRUITING.”

“When in doubt, go to the library.”

“Anyone can speak Troll. All you have to do is point and grunt.”

“There is an expiry date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction; the moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you.”

“Are you insane? Of course I want to leave the Dursleys! Have you got a house? When can I move in?”

“I make mistakes like the next man. In fact, being--forgive me--rather cleverer than most men, my mistakes tend to be correspondingly huger.”

“Hogwarts was the first and best home he had known. He and Voldemort and Snape, the abandoned boys, had all found home here. ”

“So that's little Scorpious. Make sure you beat him in every test, Rosie. Thank god you've inherited your mother's brains.”

“Malfoy glanced around. Harry knew he was checking for signs of teachers. Then he looked back at Harry and said in a low voice, "You're dead, Potter." Harry raised his eyebrows. "Funny," he said, "you'd think I'd have stopped walking around...”

“Just then Neville caused a slight diversion by turning into a large canary.”

“I’m never wearing them," Ron was saying stubbornly. "Never." "Fine," snapped Mrs. Weasley. "Go naked. And, Harry, make sure you get a picture of him. Goodness knows I could do with a laugh.

How're we getting to King's Cross tomorrow, Dad?" asked Fred as they dug into a sumptuous pudding. "The Ministry's providing a couple of cars," said Mr. Weasley. Everyone looked up at him. "Why?" said Percy curiously. "It's because of you, Perce," said George seriously. "And there'll be little flags on the hoods, with HB on them-" "-for Humongous Bighead," said Fred.”

“For future reference, Harry, it is raspberry...although of course, if I were a Death Eater, I would have been sure to research my own jam preferences before impersonating myself.”

“By all means continue destroying my possessions. I daresay I have too many.”

“No story lives unless someone wants to listen. The stories we love best do live in us forever. So whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.”

“The best of us must sometimes eat our words.”

“I am sorry too," said Lupin. "Sorry I will never know [my son]... but he will know why I died and I hope he will understand I was trying to make a world in which he could live a happier life.”

“Killing is not so easy as the innocent believe.”
