I… must… not… look… like… a… baboon’s… backside.

So then I thought, I’d like you to have something to remember me by, you know, if you ever meet some veela when you’re off doing whatever you’re doing.’I think dating opportunities are going to be pretty thin on the ground, to be honest.’There’s a silver lining I’ve been looking for,’ she whispered, and then...

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.

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.

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.

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.

Right, sorry. Go on.

At least my happiness doesn’t depend on Ron’s goalkeeping ability.

Then you should have died!!! Died! Rather than betray your friends as we would have done for you!!!

Harry―yer a wizard.

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

The wand picks you, you don’t pick the wand.

You might never fail on the scale I did, but some failure in life is inevitable. It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default.

No story lives unless someone wants to listen. So thank you, all of you.

I don’t go looking for trouble. Trouble usually finds me.

A giant! A giant in the forest! And we’re supposed to give him English lessons! Always assuming, of course, we can get past the herd of murderous centaurs on the way in and out! I — don’t — believe — him!

you’ve got strengths if I say you’ve got them.

Have you ever seen anything quite as pathetic?” said Malfoy. “And he’s supposed to be our teacher!”Harry and Ron both made furious moves toward Malfoy, but Hermione got there first – SMACK!She had slapped Malfoy across the face with all the strength she could muster. Malfoy staggered. Harry, Ron, Crabbe, and Goyle stood flabbergasted as...

Oh you is a bad elf, Dobby!

and lucky Harry doesn’t lose his head in a crisis — ‘there’s no wood,’ honestly.

Alors, Hermione, tu admires toujours autant Lockhart, maintenant? dit Ron à travers le rideau. Si Harry avait eu envie d’être transformé en mollusque, il l’aurait demandé.Tout le monde peut commettre des erreurs, répondit Hermione. D’ailleurs, ça ne te fait plus mal, n’est-ce-pas, Harry?Non, dit Harry. L’ennuie, c’est que ça ne me fait plus rien du...

For our Hogwarts is in danger from external, deadly foesAnd we must unite inside her or we’ll crumble from within

Harry dreamed he was back in the DA room. Cho was accusing him of luring her there under false pretences; she said he had promised her a hundred and fifty Chocolate Frog Cards if she showed up. Harry protested… Cho shouted, ‘Cedric gave me loads of Chocolate Frog Cards, look!’ And pulled out fistfuls of...

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.

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...

Which way did they go, Peeves?” Filch was saying. “Quick, tell me.” “Say ‘please.'” “Don’t mess with me, Peeves, now where did they go?” “Shan’t say nothing if you don’t say please,” said Peeves in his annoying singsong voice. “All right- PLEASE.” “NOTHING! Ha haaa! Told you I wouldn’t say nothing if you didn’t say...

but you, unlike me, are a git.

Hope springs forever.

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…

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.

I had a dream about a motorcycle,” said Harry, remembering suddenly. “It was flying.”Uncle Vernon nearly crashed into the car in front. He turned right around in his seat and yelled at Harry, his face like a gigantic beet with a mustache: “MOTORCYCLES DON’T FLY!”Dudley and Piers sniggered.”I know they don’t,” said Harry. “It was...

Harry… take my body back, will you? Take my body back to my parents…

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.

You do care, you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it all.

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?

He had grown used to the idea that Dumbledore could solve anything.

What happened down in the dungeons between you and Professor Quirrell is a complete secret, so, naturally the whole school knows.

DUMBLEDORE’S ARMY, STILL RECRUITING.

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.

Listeners, that brings us to the end of another Potterwatch. We don’t know when it will be possible to broadcast again, but you can be sure we shall be back. Keep twiddling those dials: the next password will be ‘Mad-Eye.’ Keep each other safe. Keep faith. Good night.

Don’t, Ginny, we’ll send you loads of owls.We’ll send you a Hogwarts toilet seat.George!Only joking, Mum.

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.

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…

I’ve got two neptunes here,” said Harry after a while, frowning down at his piece of parchment, “that can’t be right, can it?””Aaaaah,” said Ron, imitating Professor Trelawney’s mystical whisper, “when two neptunes appear in the sky, it is a sure sign that a midget in glasses is being born, Harry…”Seamus and Dean, who were...

Because that’s what Hermione does,’ said Ron, shrugging. ‘When in doubt, go to the library.

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.

Of all the trees we could’ve hit, we had to get one that hits back.

What’s that?” he snarled, staring at the envelope Harry was still clutching in his hand. “If it’s another form for me to sign, you’ve got another -“”It’s not,” said Harry cheerfully. “It’s a letter from my godfather.””Godfather?” sputtered Uncle Vernon. “You haven’t got a godfather!””Yes, I have,” said Harry brightly. “He was my mum and...

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.

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