"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."

"They think I'm a waste of space, actually, but I'm used to—"I don't think you're a waste of space."If Harry had not seen Dudley's lips move, he might not have believed it. As it was, he stared at Dudley for several seconds before accepting that it must have been his cousin who had spoken; for one thing, Dudley had turned red. Harry was embarrassed and astonished himself."

"I really feel that we're not giving children enough credit for distinguishing what's right and what's wrong. I, for one, devoured fairy tales as a little girl. I certainly didn't believe that kissing frogs would lead me to a prince, or that eating a mysterious apple would poison me, or that with the magical "Bibbity-Bobbity-Boo" I would get a beautiful dress and a pumpkin carriage. I also don't believe that looking in a mirror and saying "Candyman, Candyman, Candyman" will make some awful serial killer come after me. I believe that many children recognize Harry Potter for what it is, fantasy literature. I'm sure there will always be some that take it too far, but that's the case with everything. I believe it's much better to engage in dialog with children to explain the difference between fantasy and reality. Then they are better equipped to deal with people who might have taken it too far."

"I am not worried, Harry, said Dumbledore, his voice a little stronger despite the freezing water. I am with you."

"Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life."

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

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

"“I wish... I wish I were dead...”“And what use would that be to anyone?”"

"I have noticed more than once in life that a taste for the ineffably twee can go hand-in-hand with a distinctly uncharitable outlook on the world, I once shared an office with a woman who had covered the wall space behind her desk with pictures of fluffy kitties; she was the most bigoted, spiteful champion of the death penalty with whom it has ever been my misfortune to share a kettle. A love of all things saccharine often seems present where there is a lack of real warmth or charity."

"“Your mother died to save you. If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love. He didn't realize that love as powerful as your mother's for you leaves its own mark. Not a scar, no visible sign… to have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever. It is in your very own skin. Quirrel, full of hatred, greed, and ambition, sharing his soul with Voldemort, could not touch you for this reason. It was agony to touch a person marked by something so good.”"

"“Here lies Dobby, a free elf.”"

"“Ginny, listen... I can't be involved with you anymore. We've got to stop seeing each other. We can't be together. It's for some stupid noble reason isn't it?It's been like...like something out of someone else's life these last few weeks with you. But I can't...we can't... I've got to do things alone now. Voldemort uses people his enemies are close to. He's already used you as bait once, and that was just because you were my best friend's sister. Think how much danger you'll be in if we keep this up. He'll know, he'll find out. He'll try and get me through you. What if I don't care?I care. How do you think I'd feel if this was your funeral...and it was my fault...”"

"It's going to be all right, sir, Harry said over and over again, more worried by Dumbledore's silence than he had been by his weakened voice. We're nearly there ... I can Apparate us both back ... don't worry ... I am not worried, Harry, said Dumbledore, his voice a little stronger despite the freezing water. I am with you."

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

"“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.”"

"How to distract Scorpius from difficult emotional issues? Take him to a library." - Albus Severus Potter"

"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."

"There was a clatter as the basilisk fangs cascaded out of Hermione's arms. 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. Is this the moment? Harry asked weakly, and when nothing happened except that Ron and Hermione gripped each other still more firmly and swayed on the spot, he raised his voice. OI! There's a war going on here! Ron and Hermione broke apart, their arms still around each other. I know, mate, said Ron, who looked as though he had recently been hit on the back of the head with a Bludger, so it's now or never, isn't it? Never mind that, what about the Horcrux? Harry shouted. D'you think you could just --- just hold it in, until we've got the diadem? Yeah --- right --- sorry --- said Ron, and he and Hermione set about gathering up fangs, both pink in the face."

"“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.”"
