Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears.”After all this time?””Always,” said Snape.
Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect.
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.
When you have seen as much of life as I have, you will not underestimate the power of obsessive love.
What do I care how ‘e looks? I am good-looking enough for both of us, I theenk! All these scars show is zat my husband is brave!
You are protected, in short, by your ability to love!
Then she was kissing him as she had never kissed him before…and it was blissful oblivion, better than firewhisky; she was the only real thing in the world.
He didn’t realize that love as powerful as your mother’s for you leaves its own mark.
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.
We’re all human, aren’t we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving.
There is no good and evil, there is only power and those too weak to seek it.
What would come, would come…and you would have to meet it, when it did.
As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.I wish you all very good lives.
Hearing voices no one else can hear isn’t a good sign, even in the wizarding world.
Whatever happens to your body, your soul will survive, untouched…
To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.
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.
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.
Understanding is the first step to acceptance, and only with acceptance can there be recovery.
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.
Dumbledore will only leave from Hogwarts when there are none loyal to him!
Besides, the world isn’t split into good people and Death Eaters. We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.
We can’t choose our fate, but we can choose others. Be careful in knowing that.
You must accept the reality of other people. You think that reality is up for negotiation, that we think it’s whatever you say it is. You must accept that we are as real as you are; you must accept that you are not God.
Call him Voldemort, Harry. Always use the proper name for things. Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.
What’s most important in a friendship? Tolerance and loyalty.
I am what I am, an’ I’m not ashamed. ‘Never be ashamed,’ my ol’ dad used ter say, ‘there’s some who’ll hold it against you, but they’re not worth botherin’ with.
The mistake ninety-nine percent of humanity made, as far as Fats could see, was being ashamed of what they were; lying about it, trying to be somebody else.
Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.
Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also
I am not worried, Harry,” said Dumbledore, his voice a little stronger despite the freezing water. “I am with you.
That’s chess!” snapped Ron. “You’ve got to make some sacrifices!
Have to? Of course you have to! But only because of you, Harry, won’t rest until Voldemort is finished! Think now, for once, if you have never heard of the prophecy! What would you do?
Nothing like a nighttime stroll to give you ideas.
Do you remember me telling you we are practicing non-verbal spells, Potter?””Yes,” said Harry stiffly.”Yes, sir.””There’s no need to call me “sir” Professor.”The words had escaped him before he knew what he was saying.
He can run faster than Severus Snape confronted with shampoo.
Is it true that you shouted at Professor Umbridge?””Yes.””You called her a liar?””Yes.””You told her He Who Must Not Be Named is back?””Yes.””Have a biscuit, Potter.
Death’s got an Invisibility Cloak?” Harry interrupted again.”So he can sneak up on people,” said Ron. “Sometimes he gets bored of running at them, flapping his arms and shrieking…
Percy wouldn’t notice a joke if it danced naked in front of him wearing one of Dobby’s hats.
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.
Don’t talk to me.””Why not?””Because I want to fix that in my memory for ever. Draco Malfoy, the amazing bouncing ferret…
Why are they all staring?” demanded Albus as he and Rose craned around to look at the other students.”Don’t let it worry you,” said Ron. “It’s me. I’m extremely famous.
Holey? You have the the whole world of ear-related humor before you, you go for holey?
Now, you two – this year, you behave yourselves. If I get one more owl telling me you’ve – you’ve blown up a toilet or –””Blown up a toilet? We’ve never blown up a toilet.””Great idea though, thanks, Mum.
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!
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…
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?
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!
An Unbreakable Vow?” said Ron, looking stunned. “Nah, he can’t have…. Are you sure?””Yes I’m sure,” said Harry. “Why, what does it mean?””Well, you can’t break an Unbreakable Vow…””I’d worked that much out for myself, funnily enough.
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.
Where is Wood?” said Harry, suddenly realizing he wasn’t there.”Still in the showers,” said Fred. “We think he’s trying to drown himself.
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.
Harry, don’t go picking a row with Malfoy, don’t forget, he’s a prefect now, he could make life difficult for you…””Wow, I wonder what it’d be like to have a difficult life?” said Harry sarcastically.
We did it, we bashed them wee Potter’s the one, and Voldy’s gone moldy, so now let’s have fun!
I don’t mean to be rude—” he began, in a tone that threatened rudeness in every syllable.”Yet, sadly, accidental rudeness occurs alarmingly often,” Dumbledore finished the sentence gravely.
I dreamed I was buying new shoes last night,” said Ron. “What d’ya think that’s gonna mean?””Probably that you’re going to be eaten by a giant marshmallow or something,” said Harry.
Mistletoe,” said Luna dreamily, pointing at a large clump of white berries placed almost over Harry’s head. He jumped out from under it. “Good thinking,” said Luna seriously. “It’s often infested with nargles.
Anyone can speak Troll. All you have to do is point and grunt.
So that’s little Scorpious. Make sure you beat him in every test, Rosie. Thank god you’ve inherited your mother’s brains.
By all means continue destroying my possessions. I daresay I have too many.
Great, tell me when you’ve defeated Voldemort for me, will you?
So why in the name of Merlin’s saggy left —”“Don’t talk to your mother like that.
Nobody’s ever asked me to a party before, as a friend. Is that why you dyed your eyebrow, for the party? Should I do mine too?
Everybody finished the song at different times. At last, only the Weasley twins were left singing along to a very slow funeral march.
Hello, Minister!” bellowed Percy, sending a neat jinx straight at Thicknesse, who dropped his wand and clawed at the front of his robes, apparently in awful discomfort. “Did I mention I’m resigning?
Fred, you next,” the plump woman said. “I’m not Fred, I’m George,” said the boy. “Honestly, woman, you call yourself our mother? Can’t you tell I’m George?” “Sorry, George, dear.” “Only joking, I am Fred,” said the boy and off he went.
Ooh, you look much tastier than Crabbe and Goyle, Harry” said Hermione, before catching sight of Ron’s raised eyebrows, blushing slightly and saying “oh you know what I mean – Goyle’s Potion looked like bogies.
The mind is a complex and many-layered thing, Potter… or at least, most minds are…
His eyes are as green as a fresh pickled toad,His hair is as dark as a blackboard.I wish he was mine, he’s really divine,The hero who conquered the Dark Lord.
Don’t forget to give Neville our love!’ Ginny told James as she hugged him.!’ Neville-‘James rolled his eyes…..
I knew I could do it all this time,” said Harry, “Because I’d already done it… does that make sense?
Am I about to discover where you, Ron, and Hermione disappeared to while you were supposed to be in the back room of Fred and George’s shop?”How did you…?”Harry, please. You’re talking to the man who raised Fred and George.
When we come face-to-face with one down a dark alley, we’re going to be having a shufti to see if it’s solid, aren’t we, we’re not going to be asking, ‘Excuse me, are you the imprint of a departed soul?
And it’s Gryfindor in possession again, as Johnson takes the Quaffle— Flint alongside her —poke him in the eye, Angelina —it was a joke, professor, it was a joke…
You can laugh! But people used to believe there were no such things as the Blibbering Humdinger or the Crumple-Horned Snorkack!
Well you seemed too busy to call him a prat and I thought someone should.
Harry and Hermione are very platonic friends. But I won’t answer for anyone else, nudge-nudge wink-wink!
I thought it sounded a bit like Percy singing… maybe you’ve got to attack him while he’s in the shower, Harry.
I’ve never stunned anyone except in our D.A. lessons,” said Luna, sounding mildly interested. “That was noisier than I thought it would be.
I have gone temporarily deaf and haven’t any idea what you said, Harry.
Oh, of course,” said Ron, clapping a hand to his forehead. “I forgot we’ll be hunting down Voldemort in a mobile library.
I see a light in the kitchen. Let us not deprive Molly any longer of the chance to deplore how thin you are.
Do I look stupid?” snarled Uncle Vernon, a bit of fried egg dangling from his bushy mustache.
I was supposed to be waiting up here when you got back, only your Phoenix lot got in the way…”“Yes, they do that,” said Dumbledore.
Yes, my tiara sets off the whole thing nicely,” said Auntie Muriel in a rather carrying whisper. “But I must say, Ginevra’s dress is far too low-cut.”Ginny glanced round, grinning, winked at Harry, then quickly faced the front again.
Professor Kettleburn, our Care of Magical Creatures teacher, retired at the end of last year in order to enjoy more time with his remaining limbs.
I WILL NOT TOLERATE MENTION OF YOUR ABNORMALITY UNDER THIS ROOF!
Yeah you can have a word,” said Harry savagely. “Good-bye.
Yeah, well, food’s one of the five exceptions to Gamp’s Law of Elemental Transfigurations,” said Ron, to general astonishment.
Wild!” Ron said, twiddling the replay knob on the side. “I can make that old bloke down there pick his nose again… and again… and again…
How in the name of Merlin’s pants have you managed to get your hands on those Horcrux books?
So Dobby stopped us from getting on the train and broke your arm. . . .” He shook his head. “You know what, Harry? If he doesn’t stop trying to save your life he’s going to kill you.
No, thanks,” said Harry. “The toilet’s never had anything as horrible as your head down it— it might be sick.” Then he ran, before Dudley could work out what he’d said.
My Head of House said I lacked certain necessary qualities…like the ability to behave myself.
The poor things keep calling in those – those pumbles, I think they’re called – you know, the ones who mend pipes and things – “”Plumbers?”” – exactly, yes, but of course they’re flummoxed.
I never know,” Harry called to Hagrid over the noise of the cart, “What’s the difference between a stalagmite and a stalactite?””Stalagmite’s got an ‘m’ in it,” said Hagrid.
Even if I could, I wouldn’t. Scars can come in handy. I have one myself above my left knee that is a perfect map of the London Underground.
You see, I, unlike you, have been made a prefect, which means that I, unlike you, have the power to hand out punishments.”“Yeah,” said Harry, “but you, unlike me, are a git.
I’m dying!” Malfoy yelled, as the class panicked. “I’m dying, look at me! It’s killed me!
That is the second time you have spoken out of turn, Miss Granger,” said Snape coolly. “Five more points from Gryffindor for being an insufferable know-it-all.
Harry, we saw Uranus up close!” said Ron, still giggling feebly. “Get it, Harry? We saw Uranus — ha ha ha —
Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
The truth.” Dumbledore sighed. “It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution.
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.
Newt Scamander : “My philosophy is that worrying means you suffer twice.
Hermione was screaming again: the sound went through Harry like physical pain.
Hermione turned and beamed at Harry; her eyes, too, were full of tears.‘…then I declare you bonded for life.
You’ll stay with me?’Until the very end,’ said James.
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.
Would you like me to [kill you] now?” asked Snape, his voice heavy with irony. “Or would you like a few moments to compose an epitaph?
Snape raised his wand and pointed it directly at Dumbledore.
And Death spoke to them —’”“Sorry,” interjected Harry, “but Death spoke to them?”“It’s a fairy tale, Harry!”“Right, sorry. Go on.
Would it hurt to die? All those times he had thought it was about to happen and escaped, he had never really thought of the thing itself: his will to live had always been so much stronger than his fear of death.
Mad Eye’ Moody on the Avada Kedavra curse: “Not nice,” he said calmly. “Not pleasant. And there’s no counter curse. There’s no blocking it. Only one known person has ever survived it, and he’s sitting right in front of me.
To have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever.
As Ginny and Hermione moved closer to the rest of the family, Harry had a clear view of the bodies lying next to Fred: Remus and Tonks, pale and still and peaceful-looking, apparently asleep beneath the dark, enchanted ceiling.
Birth and death: there was the same consciousness of heightened existence and of her own elevated importance
No – no – no!” someone was shouting. “No! Fred! No!”And Percy was shaking his brother, and Ron was kneeling beside them, and Fred’s eyes stared without seeing, the ghost of his last laugh still etched upon his face.
Only one thing mattered: this was not a Horcrux. Dumbledore had weakened himself by drinking that horrible potion for nothing. Harry crumpled the parchment in his hand and his eyes burned with tears as behind him Fang began to howl.
And anyway, it’s not as though I’ll never see Mum again, is it?
But you’re dead,’ said Harry.’Oh, yes,’ said Dumbledore matter-of-factly.’Then… am I dead too?”Ah,’ said Dumbledore, smiling still more broadly. ‘That is the question, isn’t it? On the whole, dear boy, I think not.
If she could have died…if she could have disappeared forever…but the solid surface of things refused to dissolve around her, and her body, her hateful hermaphrodite’s body, continued in its stubborn, lumpen way, to live…
Human efforts to avoid or overcome death are always doomed to disappointment.
I think that perhaps if I had had to slow down the ideas so that I could capture them on paper I might have stifled some of them.
Writing for me is a kind of compulsion, so I don’t think anyone could havemade me do it, or prevented me from doing it.
Destiny is a name often given in retrospect to choices that had dramatic consequences.
His priority did not seem to be to teach them what he knew, but rather to impress upon them that nothing, not even… knowledge, was foolproof.
Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike.
All’s fair in love and war,” said Ron brightly, “and this is a bit of both.
Sometimes, if she simply remained quiet, and let the inadequacy of his excuses reverberate on the air, he became ashamed and backtracked.
She seemed to think that one of the perks of marriage was that it gave you rights of comment and intrusion over single people’s love lives.
NEWT: Now there’s absolutely nothing for you to worry about.JACOB: Tell me – has anyone ever believed you when you told them not to worry?NEWT: My philosophy is that worrying means you suffer twice.
But Dumbledore says he doesn’t care what they do as long as they don’t take him off the Chocolate Frog cards.
Don’t put your wand there, boy! … Better wizards than you have lost buttocks, you know!
Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!
Oh, there you are, Albus,’ he said. ‘You’ve been a very long time. Upset stomach?”No, I was merely reading the Muggle magazines,’ said Dumbledore. ‘I do love knitting patterns.
Don’t worry. You’re just as sane as I am-Luna Lovegood
Her voice was now so shrill only bats would be able to hear it soon, but she had reached a level of indignation that rendered her temporarily speechless..
I am not forgotten, you know, no, I still receive a very great deal of fan
One more lesson like that and I might just do a Weasley.
Yeah,” said Harry. “No more pretending we care what happens when Jupiter and Uranus get too friendly .
Never try to understand the students. They hate it. They would much rather be tragically misunderstood, wallow in self-pity, stew in their own —”“That’s enough, Phineas,” said Dumbledore.
I expect what you’re not aware of would fill several books, Dursely.
At least my happiness doesn’t depend on Ron’s goalkeeping ability.
Listen, Harr,y can I have a go on it? Can I?””I don’t think anyone should ride that broom just yet!” said Hermoine shrilly.Harry and Ron looked at her.”What d’you think Harry’s going to do with it – sweep the floor?” said Ron.
Fred and George exchanged looks.”You don’t mind if we don’t kiss you, do you, Ron?” said Fred in a falsely anxious voice. “We could curtsy, if you like,” said George. “Oh, shut up,” said Ron, scowling at them.
Being fed, and having a soft bed, and other people being in charge, seemed the most wonderful prospect in the world at that moment.
Divination is turning out to be much more trouble than I could have foreseen, never having studied the subject myself.
Why would I go looking for someone I know wants to kill me?
Books are like mirrors: if a fool looks in, you cannot expect a genius to look out.
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.
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.
If you don’t like to read, you haven’t found the right book.
I think it’s the books that you read when you’re young that live with you forever.
Madam Pince, our librarian, tells me that it is ‘pawed about, dribbled on, and generally maltreated’ nearly everyday – a high compliment for any book.
He wanted to be stopped, to be dragged back, to be sent back home… But he was home. Hogwarts was the first and best home he had known. He and Voldemort and Snape, the abandoned boys, had all found home here…
Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.
I am very frustrated by fear of imagination, I don’t think that’s healthy.
Voldemort is playing a very clever game. Declaring himself might have provoked open rebellion. Remaining masked has created confusion, uncertainty, and fear.
I think the willfully unimaginative see more monsters. They are often more afraid.
He must have known I’d want to leave you.””No, he must have known you would always want to come back.
You think I’m a fool?” demanded Harry.”No, I think you’re like James,” said Lupin, “who would have regarded it as the height of dishonor to mistrust his friends.
You’re the one who is weak. You will never know love or friendship. And I feel sorry for you.
All I ever wanted to do was go to Hogwarts and have a mate to get up to mayhem with. Just like Harry Potter. And I got his son. How crazily fortunate is that.
Besides, the world isn’t split into good people and Death Eaters.
By the time she had interpreted Harry’s dreams at the top of her voice (all of which, even the ones that involved eating porridge, apparently foretold a gruesome and early death), he was feeling much less sympathetic toward her.
For in dreams we enter a world that is entirely our own. Let them swim in the deepest ocean or glide over the highest cloud. (Albus Dumbledore)
Just think how many books I could’ve sold if Harry had been a bit more creative with his wand.” -[On the success of 50 Shades of Grey]
If only the hat had mentioned a house for people who felt a bit queasy, that would have been the one for him.
What are we doing here? Has something gone wrong?”“Oh no, Ron,” came Fred’s voice, very sarcastically. “No, this is exactly where we wanted to end up.
Draco Malfoy is a bad boy!” squeaked Dobby angrily.
Fred and George turned to each other and said together, “Wow — we’re identical!
I do know a few things, actually. I know you have rather backwards laws about relations with non-magic people. That you’re not mean to befriend them, that you can’t marry them, which seems mildly absurd to me.
I was ripped from my body, I was less than spirit, less than the meanest ghost . . . but still, I was alive.
Autumn seemed to arrive suddenly that year. The morning of the first September was crisp and golden as an apple.
I make mistakes like the next man. In fact, being–forgive me–rather cleverer than most men, my mistakes tend to be correspondingly huger.
Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it.
You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.
There is no shame in what you are feeling, Harry,’ said Dumbledore’s voice. ‘On the contrary… the fact that you can feel pain like this is your greatest strength.
…-the two look at each other – one full of guilt – other full of pain – both full of unhappiness.
Ah, music,” he said, wiping his eyes. “A magic beyond all we do here!
(…) “to have a hairy heart” has passed into everyday wizarding language to describe a cold or unfeeling witch or wizard.
Oh, these people’s minds work in strange ways, Petunia, they’re not like you and me,” said Uncle Vernon, trying to knock in a nail with the piece of fruitcake Aunt Petunia had just brought him.
As Hagrid had said, what would come would come and he would have to meet it when it did.
Sirius was a brave, clever, and energetic man, and such men are not usually content to sit at home in hiding while they believe others to be in danger.
You sort of start thinking anything’s possible if you’ve got enough nerve
Youth can not know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.
The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure.
In the end, it mattered not that you could not close your mind. It was your heart that saved you.
Every witch or wizard with a wand has held in his or her hands more power than we will ever know. With the right spell or potion, they can fabricate love, travel through time, change physical form and even extinguish life.
You do care, you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it all.
It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.
You do care. You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.
He had a powerful kind of ache inside of him, half joy, half terrible sadness.
How awful it was, thought Tessa, remembering Fats the toddler, the way tiny ghosts of your living children haunted your heart; they could never know, and would hate it if they did, how their growing was a constant bereavement.
Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic…
You’re the cleverest witch I’ve ever met Hermione.
According to Madam Pomfrey, thoughts could leave deeper scars than almost anything else.
We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.
Failure gave me an inner security that I had never attained by passing examinations.
My mother can’t have been magic, or she wouldn’t have died”, said Riddle
It’s so difficult to describe depression to someone who’s never been there, because it’s not sadness. I know sadness. Sadness is to cry and to feel. But it’s that cold absence of feeling— that really hollowed-out feeling.
Depression isn’t just being a bit sad. It’s feeling nothing. It’s not wanting to be alive anymore.
You can’t live without failing at something, unless you love so cautiously you might as well have nit lived at all, in which case, you fail be default.
The most important thing is to read as much as you can, like I did. It will give you an understanding of what makes good writing and it will enlarge your vocabulary.
We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.
Somewhere out in the darkness, a phoenix was singing in a way Harry had never heard before: a stricken lament of terrible beauty.
The last words Albus Dumbledore spoke to the pair of us?’ Harry is the best hope we have. Trust him.
Course Dumbledore trusts you,” growled Moody. “He’s a trusting man, isn’t he? Believes in second chances. But me — I say there are spots that don’t come off, Snape. Spots that never come off, d’you know what I mean?
No, Harry, you listen,” said Hermione. “We’re coming with you. That was decided months ago – years, really.
Dumbledore says people find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right.
Grief, it seemed, drove Voldemort out…though Dumbledore, of course, would have said that it was love.
the world had ended, so why had the battle not ceased
There was no waking from this nightmare, no comforting whisper in the dark that he was safe really, that it was all in his imagination; the last and greatest of his protectors had died, and he was more alone than he had ever been.
We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.
He hurried to car and set off home, hoping he was imagining things, which he had never hoped before, because he didn’t approve of imagination.
I enjoyed the meetings, too. It was like having friends.
Ah, Harry, how often this happens, even between the best of friends! Each of us believes that what he has to say is much more important than anything the other might have to contribute!
Karakarof spat onto the ground at Dumbledore’s feet. In one swift movement, Hagrid seized the front of Karkaroff’s furs, lifted him into the air, and slammed him against a nearby tree.
True coolness is the incidental by-product of higher pursuits.
It’s all right, Ginny. It’s over. It’s just a memory.
We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all of the power we need inside ourselves already.
Oh, are you doing magic? Let’s see it, then.”She sat down. Ron looked taken aback.“Er — all right.”He cleared his t
Apparently wizards poke their noses in everywhere!
The spells are made up. I have met people who assure me, very seriously, that they are trying to do them, and I can assure them, just as seriously, that they don’t work.
The Prime Minister gazed hopelessly at the pair of them for a moment, then the words he had fought to suppress all evening burst from him at
To have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever.-Albus Dumbledore to Harry Potter, page 299
…but it’s not so much having to repair the damage, it’s more the attitude behind the vandalism, Harry. Muggle-baiting might strike some wizards as funny, but it’s an expression of something much deeper and nastier…
I do believe something magical can happen when you read a good book
The world is full of wonderful things you haven’t seen yet. Don’t ever give up on the chance of seeing them.
She was half running away from the hall, and she knew that she had done something cataclysmic, and she wanted nothing more than to be swallowed up by the darkness and to disappear forever.
Play to your strengths.””I haven’t got any,” said Harry, before he could stop himself.”Excuse me,” growled Moody, “you’ve got strengths if I say you’ve got them. Think now. What are you best at?
Failure is so important. We speak about success all the time. It is the ability to resist failure or use failure that often leads to greater success. I’ve met people who don’t want to try for fear of failing.
Your qualifications, your CV, are not your life, though you will meet many people of my age and older who confuse the two.
Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one arena where I believed I truly belonged.
Bed rest and a large steaming mug of hot chocolate. I always find that cheers me up.
Ron: Why spiders? Why couldn’t it be “follow the butterflies?
Just because you’re allowed to use magic now you don’t have to whip your wands out for every tiny little thing!
Much as he detested Filch, Harry couldn’t help feeling a bit sorry for him, though not nearly as sorry as he felt for himself.
Don’t let it worry you,” said Ron. “It’s me. I’m extremely famous.
Why are you worrying about you-know-who?You should be worrying about u-no-poo!The constipation sensation that’s gripping the nation!
Hermione: You! You foul, loathsome, evil little cocroach!Ron: Hermione, no! He’s no worth it.
Hermione: You! You foul loathsome evil little cockroach!
Ron: [mimicking Hermione] “It’s Levi-OOOOH-sa not LevioSAR.” She’s a nightmare, honestly. It’s no wonder she hasn’t got any friends!
Let us step into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.
I know [Umbridge] by reputation and I’m sure she’s no Death Eater-“”She’s foul enough to be one…””Yes, but the world isn’t split into good people and Death Eaters.
It was important, Dumbledore said, to fight, and fight again, and keep fighting, for only then could evil be kept at bay, though never quite eradicated. . . .
Potter is mocked by a faculty member for the idea that there is evil in the world from which even children need to learn to defend themselves by the actual practice of doing so rather than familiarity with theory.
Snape looked horrified. ‘You have kept him alive so that he can die at the right moment?”Don’t look shocked, Severus. How many men and women have you watched die?”Lately, only those whom I could not save’, said Snape.
From this point forth, we shall be leaving the firm foundation of fact and journeying together through the murky marshes of memory into thickets of wildest guesswork.
If his surroundings could have reflected the feelings inside him, the pictures would have been screaming in pain.
Neville kicked aside the broken fragments of his own wand as they walked slowly toward the door. “My gran’s going do kill be,” said Neville thickly, blood spattering from his nose as he spoke, “dat was by dad’s old wand…
It’s just hard,” Harry said finally, in a low voice, “to realize he won’t write me again
Working hard is important, but there’s something that matters even more. Believing in yourself. Think of it this way: Every great wizard in history has started out as nothing more than we are now. Students. If they can do it, why not us?
Scrimgeour: “It’s time you learned some respect!” Harry: “It’s time you earned it.
I—I didn’t think—””That,” said Professor McGonagall, “is obvious.
If you made a better rat than a human, it’s not much to boast about, Peter.
The fridge had been emptied of all Dudley’s favorite things — fizzy drinks and cakes, chocolate bars and burgers — and filled instead with fruit and vegetables and the sorts of things that Uncle Vernon called “rabbit food.
It doesn’t matter what a person is born but it matters how he grows up to be…
It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
It is not our abilities that show who we truly are, it is our choices.
Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.
He never seemed to grasp the immense mutability of human nature, nor to appreciate that behind every nondescript face lay a wild and unique hinterland like his own.

Are you planning to follow a career in Magical Law, Miss Granger?” asked Scrimgeour.“No, I’m not,” retorted Hermione. “I’m hoping to do some good in the world!
Aren’t you two ever going to read Hogwarts, A History?””What’s the point?” said Ron. “You know it by heart, we can just ask you.
Wherever I am, if I’ve got a book with me, I have a place I can go and be h
There’s always room for a story that can transport people to another place.
Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young…
We were young, thoughtless – carried away with our own cleverness
Choice was dangerous: you had to forgo all other possibilities when you chose.
You may wear that scar like a crown, Potter, but it is not up to a seventeen-year-old boy to tell me how to do my job! It’s time you learned some respect!”It’s time you earned it,’ said Harry.
Your father is alive in you, Harry, and shows himself most plainly when you need of him. How else could you produce that particular Patronus? Prongs rode again last night.
No story lives unless someone wants to listen. So thank you, all of you.
Why do you live?Because I have something worth living for.
We’re all going to keep fighting, Harry. You know that?
Whenever he was in company he wanted to get away, and whenever he was alone he wanted company.
Wherever I am, if I’ve got a book with me, I have a place I can go and be happy.
I just wish I’d asked you sooner. We could’ve had ages . . . months . . . years maybe. . . .
Prof McGonagall : … bravery doesn’t forgive stupidity. …
Harry then did something that was both very brave and very stupid
You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity.
As for the fact that Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle apeared to be going their different ways when they were usually inseparable, these things happened as people got older–Ron and Hermione, Harry reflected sadly, were living proof.
And I must draft an advertisement for the Daily Prophet, too,’ he added thoughtfully. ‘We’ll be needing a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher…. Dear me, we do seem to run through them, don’t we?
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.
Don’t forget to give Neville our love!’ Ginny told James as she hugge
Draco: Flipendo! … Keep up, old man.Harry: We’re the same age, Draco.Draco: I wear it better.
This is night, Diddykins. That’s what we call it when it goes all dark like this.
Promise me you’ll look after yourself … stay out of trouble …’‘I always do, Mrs Weasley,’ said Harry. ‘I like a quiet life, you know me.
Stop moving!’ Hermione ordered them. ‘I know what this is – it’s Devil’s Snare!”Oh, I’m so glad we know what it’s called, that’s a great help,’ snarled Ron, leaning back, trying to stop the plant curling around his neck.
Parents shouldn’t leave their kids unless —unless they’ve got to.
He thought that it was all over, finished, done with. Andrew had never yet had reason to observe the first tiny bubble of fermenting yeast, in which was contained an inevitable, alchemical transformation.
Harry was left to ponder in silence the depths to which girls would sink to get revenge.
He felt that he was still groping in the dark; he had chosen his path but kept looking back, wondering whether he had misread the signs, whether he should not have taken the other way.
Every time he tried to reconstruct the internal arguments that had led to his decision, they sounded feebler to him.
Those who choose not to empathise enable real monsters. For without ever committing an act of outright evil ourselves, we collude with it, through our own apathy.
…it is hard to throw off long-established love:hard, but this you must managed somehow
You should write a book,” Ron told Hermione as he cut up his potatoes, “translating mad things girls do so boys can understand them.
Well, wouldn’t it have been easier if she’d just asked me whether I liked her better than you?””Girls don’t often ask questions like that,” said Hermione.”Well, they should!” said Harry forcefully.
That’s what they should teach us here. How girls’ brains work… It would be more useful than divination, anyway…
How can I have hung round you for five years and not think girls are clever?
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?
There was a brief silence in which the distant echo of Hagrid smashing down a wooden front door seemed to reverberate through the intervening years.

Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?””…I think the answer is that a circle has no beginning.””Well reasoned.
And tears came before he could stop them, boiling hot then instantly freezing on his face, and what was the point in wiping them off? Or pretending? He let them fall.
Dumbledore’s man through and through, aren’t you Potter?” “Yeah I am,” said Harry. “Glad we straightened that out.
Understanding was coming so fast, it seemed to bypass thought.
Famous Harry Potter,” said Malfoy. “Can’t even go to a bookshop without making the front page.
Harry… take my body back, will you? Take my body back to my parents…
Honestly, if you were any slower, you’d be going backward.
Longbottom, if brains were gold, you’d be poorer than Weasley, and that’s saying something.
October extinguished itself in a rush of howling winds and driving rain and November arrived, cold as frozen iron, with hard frosts every morning and icy drafts that bit at exposed hands and faces.
Oh, very good,’ interrupted Snape, his lip curling. ‘Yes, it is easy to see that nearly six years of magical education have not been wasted on you, Potter. ‘Ghosts are transparent.
It was surely one thing to respect the Dark Arts as a dangerous enemy, another to speak of them with a loving caress in his voice?
The presence of hundreds of books had finally convinced Hermione that what they were doing was right.
We could all have been killed -or worse, expelled.
Harry — I think I’ve just understood something! I’ve got to go to the library!”And she sprinted away, up the s
Because that’s what Hermione does,’ said Ron, shrugging. ‘When in doubt, go to the library.
How to distract Scorpius from difficult emotional issues? Take him to a library.” – Albus Severus Potter
He had grown used to the idea that Dumbledore could solve anything.

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.
Whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.
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.
Yeah ‘ear ‘ear,” said George, with half a glance at Fred, the corner of whose mouth twitched.
Finally, the truth. Lying with his face pressed into the dusty carpet of the office where he had once thought he was learning the secrets of victory, Harry understood at last that he was not supposed to survive.
Hermione drew herself to her full height; her eyes were narrowed and her hair seemed to crackle with electricity.”No,” she said, her voice quivering with anger, “but I will write to your mother.
Harry witnessed Professor McGonagall walking right past Peeves who was determinedly loosening a crystal chandelier and could have sworn he heard her tell the poltergeist out of the corner of her mouth, ‘It unscrews the other way.
The ministry has fallen. Scrimgeour is dead. They are coming.
You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be!
They’re evacuating the younger kids and everyone’s meeting in the Great Hall to get organized. We’re fighting.
Rita looked as though she would have liked nothing better than to seize the paper umbrella sticking out of Hermione’s drink and thrust it up her nose.
Ron’s indignation on his behalf was worth about a hundred points to him.
And it’s Johnson, Johnson with the Quaffle, what a player that girl is, I’ve been saying it for years but she still won’t go out with me —”JORDAN!’ yelled Professor McGonagall.’Just a fun fact, Professor, adds a bit of interest —
You will also find that help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.
But Ron was staring at Hermione as though suddenly seeing her in a whole new
I see you are —”“Dumbledore’s man through and through,” said Harry. “That’s right.
Hello, Professor McGonagall,” said Moody calmly, bouncing the ferret still higher.“What — what are you doing?” said Professor McGonagall, her eyes following the bouncing ferret’s progress through the air.“Teaching,” said
Ron gave a tiny jerk of the head that Harry understood to mean, Well – if you must.
There are some things you can’t share without ending up liking each other.
Like the fact that the person Sirius cared for the most about in the world was you,” said Dumbledore quietly.
He sounds exactly like Moody,” said Harry quietly, tucking the letter away again inside his robes. “‘Constant vigilance!’ You’d think I walk around with my eyes shut, banging off the walls….
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, if you’ve a ready mind, Where those of wit and learning, Will always find their kind.
All those poor elves I haven’t set free yet, having to stay over during Christmas because there aren’t enough hats!
In dreams, we enter a world that’s entirely our own.
Friday was an important day for Harry and Ron. They finally managed to find their way down to the Great Hall without getting lost once.
Dudley thought for a moment. It looked like hard work.
Minerva, kindly go to Hagrid’s house, where you will find a large black dog sitting in the pumpkin patch. Take the dog to my office, tell him I will be with him shortly, then come back here.
Don’t, Ginny, we’ll send you loads of owls.We’ll send you a Hogwarts toilet seat.George!Only joking, Mum.
Fools who wear their hearts proudly on their sleeves, who cannot control their emotions, who wallow in sad memories and allow themselves to be provoked this easily — weak people, in other words…
Scared?” Malfoy muttered, so that Lockhart couldn’t hear him.”You wish.” said Harry out of the corner of his mouth.
I think so,’ said Professor McGonagall dryly, ‘we teachers are rather good at magic, you know.
Yes, Harry Potter!” said Dobby at once, his great eyes shining with excitement. “And if Dobby does it wrong, Dobby will throw himself off the topmost tower, Harry Potter!”“There won’t be any need for that,” said Harry hastily.
Ron’s ears turned bright red and he become engrossed in a tuft of grass at his feet, which he prodded with his toe ‘he must’ve known I’d run out on you’.’No’, Harry corrected him, ‘He must’ve known you’d always want to come back
Personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a checklist of acquisition. Your qualifications are not your life.
Directly above them, framed in the doorway from the Brain Room, stood Albus Dumbledore, his wand aloft, his face white and furious. Harry felt a kind of electric charge surge through every particle of his body – they were saved.
Aha! What villains are these, that trespass upon my private lands! Come to scorn at my fall, perchance? Draw, you knaves, you dogs!
But from that moment on, Hermione Granger became their friend. Because there are somethings you can’t go through in life and become friends, and knocking out a twelve-foot mountain troll is one of them.
Which only goes to show that the best of us must sometimes eat our words,’ Dumbledore went on, smiling.
Play Quidditch at all?”“No,” Harry said again, wondering what on earth Quidditch cou
Without cunning, there is no innovation. Without ambition, there is no accomplishment.
Ron’s eyebrows rose so high that they were in danger of disappearing into his hair.
Not at all up to your usual standard, Hermione. Only one out of three, I’m afraid. I have not been helping Sirius get into the castle and I certainly don’t want Harry dead. But I won’t deny that I am a werewolf.
Amazing, how much more difficult it was to extend his arm twelve inches and touch her hand than it was to snatch a speeding Snitch from midair …
If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love.
NO!”The scream was the more terrible because he had never expected or dreamed that Professor McGonagall could make such a sound.
There you go, Harry!” Ron shouted over the noise. “You weren’t being thick after all — you were showing moral fiber!

I will be sharing additional information I’ve been hoarding for years about the world of Harry Potter
You think the dead we love ever truly leave us? You think that we don’t recall them more clearly than ever in times of great trouble?
I’m not going anywhere!” said Harry fiercely. “One of my best friends is Muggle-born; she’ll be first in line if the Chamber really has been opened…
Like all young people, you are quite sure that you alone feel and think, you alone recognize danger, you alone are the only one clever enough to realise…
The Chamber Of Secrets had been opened.Enemies of the heir, beware.
The Chasers throw the Quaffle and put it through the hoops to score,” Harry recited. “So — that’s sort of like basketball on broomsticks with six hoops, isn’t it?”“What’s basketball?” said Wood curiously.“Never mind,” said Harry quickly.
Perhaps you have been looking in the wrong places.
Yes, but the world isn’t split into good people and Death Eaters,’ said Sirius with a wry smile.
And again Harry understood without having to think. It did not matter about bringing them back, for he was about to join them. He was not really fetching them: They were fetching him.
Hogwarts is threatened!” shouted Professor McGonagall. “Man the boundaries, protect us, do your duty to our school!

The three witches and the knight set off down the hill together, arm in arm, and all four led long and happy lives, and none of them ever knew or suspected that the Fountain’s waters carried no enchantment at all.
In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again.
Hagrid!” Harry called, holding on to the bike for dear life. “Hagrid—Accio Hagrid!
Snape was a bully who loved the goodness he sensed in Lily without being able to emulate her. That was his tragedy.
Yeah, his school! It was his first real home, the place that meant he was special; it meant everything to him, and even after he left -“”This is You-Know-Who we’re talking about, right? Not you?” inquired Ron.

What is life without a little risk?” -Sirius Black
It took me a long time to discover your weakness, Albus Potter. I thought it was pride, I thought it was the need to impress your father, but then I realised your weakness was the same as your father’s – friendship.
You might belong in Hufflepuff, Where they are just and loyal, Those patient Hufflepuffs are true and unafriad of toil
All the same, we should get to bed,” whispered Hermione. “It wouldn’t do to oversleep tomorrow.”“No,” agreed Ron. “A brutal triple murder by the bridegroom’s mother might put a bit of a damper on the wedding.
His heart was leaping against his ribs like a frantic bird. Perhaps it knew it had little time left, perhaps it was determined to fulfill a lifetime’s beats before the end.
Because if its just you alone, you’re not much of a threat.
The ones who love us never really leave us, you can always find them in here.’ – Sirius Black
But you would think, wouldn’t you, that getting hit forty-five times in the neck with a blunt axe would qualify you to join the Headless Hunt? – Sir Nicholas de Mimsy
You’ll stay with me? Until the very end, said James. They won’t be able to see you? asked Harry. We are part of you, said Sirius. Invisible to anyone else.
You think the dead we loved ever truly leave us? You think we don’t recall them more clearly than ever in times of great trouble? Your father is alive in you, Harry, and shows himself plainly when you have need of him.
You might belong in Gryffindor where dwell the brave at heart. Their daring nerve and chivalry set Gryffindors apart.
Hasn’t your experience with the Time-Turner taught you anything, Harry? The consequences of our actions are always so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed…
We could have all been killed -or worse, expelled.
You know, I sometimes think that we Sort too soon….
The long game was ended, the Snitch has been caught, it was time to leave the air….

It was one of those rare occasions when the true story is even more strange and exciting than the wild rumours.
Harry Potter set Dobby free!” “Least I could do, Dobby”, said Harry, grinning. “Just promise never to try and save my life again.
I don’t care if you fall off your broom as long as you catch the Snitch first.
I can’t be a wizard. I’m just Harry.” Harry Potter
Arthur and Fred—” “I’m George,” said the twin at whom Moody was pointing. “Can’t you even tell us apart when we’re Harry?” “Sorry, George—” “I’m only yanking your wand, I’m Fred really—
Yes, Harry, you can love, said Dumbledore, who looked as though he knew perfectly well what Harry had just refrained from saying. Which, given everything that has happened to you, is a great and remarkable thing.
I’m not worried, Harry, said Dumbledore, his voice a little stronger despite the freezing water. I am with you.
Dumbledore is gone, Harry. He’s gone.He will only be gone from the school when none here or loyal to him, said Harry, smiling in spite of himself.
Those who want power do not deserve it.And those who deserve power do not want it.
Yes, Harry, you can love, said Dumbledore, who looked as though he knew perfectly well what Harry had just refrain from saying. Which, given everything that has happened to you, is a great and remarkable thing.
Uncle Vernon’s face worked furiously. The idea of being taught consideration by a man who had just blasted away half his living-room wall seemed to be causing him intense suffering.
Working hard is important. But there is something that matters even more: Believing in yourself.
For our Hogwarts is in danger from external, deadly foesAnd we must unite inside her or we’ll crumble from within
You’re joking, Perce! You are actually joking, Percy… I don’t think I’ve heard you joke since you were-
Harry Potter mustn’t be angry… Dobby hoped… if Harry Potter thought his friends had forgotten him… Harry Potter might not want to go back to school, sir…
I don’t want to stay here overnight,’ said Harry angrily, sitting up and throwing back his covers. ‘I want to find McLaggen and kill him.
You, yourself, will never rest until you’ve tried!
What Harry found most unusual about life at Ron’s, however, wasn’t the talking mirror or the clanking ghoul: It was the fact that everybody there seemed to like him.
Very astute, Harry, but the mouth organ was only ever a mouth organ.” – Albus Dumbledore
Why spiders? Why couldn’t it be ‘follow the butterflies’?

Strange how short-sighted being invisible can make you.
Merlin’s pants!” shrieked Hermione, jumping up and running from the room.”Merlin’s pants?” repeated Ron, looking amused. “She must be really upset.
Dumbledore raised his finger for silence, a silence which fell as though he had struck Uncle Vernon dumb.
The castle grounds were gleaming in the sunlight as though freshly painted; the cloudless sky smiled at itself in the smoothly sparkling lake, the satin-green lawns rippled occasionally in a gentle breeze: June had arrived.
And without thinking, without planning it, without worrying about the fact that fifty people were watching, Harry kissed her.
Running at Ron, she flung them around his neck and kissed him full on the mouth. Ron threw away the fangs and broomstick he was holding and responded with such enthusiasm that he lifted Hermione off her feet.
Shh! Listen! Someone’s coming! I think — I think it might be us!
I think the only reason I never lost my mind is that I knew I was innocent. That wasn’t a happy thought, so the dementors couldn’t suck it out of me…but it kept me sane and knowing who I am…helped me keep my powers…
The sword of Gryffindor was hidden they knew not where, and they were three teenagers in a tent whose only achievement was not, yet, to be dead.
We have to remember, sometimes the most important history is the history we’re making today.
The point is, if we find out you’ve been horrible to Harry —”“— and make no mistake, we’ll hear about it.“even if you won’t let Harry use the fellytone
