"Is it true that you shouted at Professor Umbridge''Yes,' said Harry.'You called her a liar''Yes.''You told her He Who Must Not Be Named is back''Yes.'Professor Mc Gonagall sat down behind her desk, frowning at Harry. Then she said, 'Have a biscuit, Potter-''Have- what?"

"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."

"Never tickle a sleeping dragon."

"Without cunning, there is no innovation. Without ambition, there is no accomplishment."

"If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love."

She was a quite extraordinary witch, you know, but she did like to experiment and one of her spells went rather badly wrong one day. I was nine." "I’m sorry," Harry mumbled. "Yes, it was rather horrible," said Luna conversationally. "I still feel very sad about it sometimes. But I’ve still got Dad. And anyway, it’s not as though I’ll never see Mum again, is it" "Er – isn’t it" said Harry uncertainly. She shook her head in disbelief. "Oh, come on.

"Will there ever be an encyclopedia? Possibly. I would say two things about the encyclopedia: firstly, I’ve always said and I stand by it, whenever I do do a printed encyclopedia I would like all the proceeds to go to charity.
