"Professor Moody!" said a shocked voice. Professor Mc Gonagall was coming down the marble staircase with her arms full of books."Hello, Professor Mc Gonagall," said Moody calmly, bouncing the ferret still higher."What - what are you doing" said Professor Mc Gonagall, her eyes following the bouncing ferret's progress through the air."Teaching," said"

"We could have all been killed -or worse, expelled."

"You know, I sometimes think that we Sort too soon..."

"An extraordinary lightness seemed to spread through his whole body and the next second, in a rush of wings, they were flying upward through the pipe. Harry could hear Lockhart dangling bellow him, saying, "Amazing! Amazing! This is just like magic!"

"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."

"Half our family does seem to owe you their lives, now I stop and think about it," Mr. Weasley said in a constricted voice. "Well, all I can say is that it was a lucky day for the Weasleys when Ron decided to sit in your compartment on the Hogwarts Express, Harry."

"I can't be a wizard. I'm just Harry." Harry Potter"

"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."

"We don't need magic to change the world."

"Yes,' said Dumbledore. 'He'll have that scar for ever.''Couldn't you do something about it, Dumbledore''Even if I could, I wouldn't. Scars can come in useful. I have one myself above my left knee which is a perfect map of the London underground."

"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."

"Merlin's pants!" shrieked Hermione, jumping up and running from the room."Merlin's pants" repeated Ron, looking amused. "She must be really upset."

"Why spiders? Why couldn't it be 'follow the butterflies'?"

"Those patient Hufflepuffs are true and unafraid of toil."

"Spiders... the spiders... they want me to tap-dance. And I don't want to tap-dance!"

"You foul, lying, evil little cockroach!"

"Strange how short-sighted being invisible can make you."

"The plan, which I really hope I fulfilled, is that the reader, like Harry, would gradually discover Ginny as pretty much the ideal girl for Harry. She’s tough, not in an unpleasant way, but she’s gutsy. He needs to be with someone who can stand the demands of being with Harry Potter, because he’s a scary boyfriend in a lot of ways. He’s a marked man. I think she’s funny, and I think that she’s very warm and compassionate. These are all things that Harry requires in his ideal woman…. Initially, she’s terrified by his image. I mean, he’s a bit of a rock god to her when she sees him first, at 10 or 11, and he’s this famous boy. So Ginny had to go through a journey… I didn’t want Ginny to be the first girl that Harry ever kissed. That’s something I meant to say, and it’s kind of tied in…. And I feel that Ginny and Harry, in this book, they are total equals. They are worthy of each other. They’ve both gone through a big emotional journey, and they’ve really got over a lot of delusions together. So, I enjoyed writing that. I really like Ginny as a character."
