Quotations
* * *
Dumbledore: It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our choices.
* * *
Dobby: Dobby is... free.
* * *
Harry: Not to be rude or anything, but this isn't a great time for me to have a house elf in my bedroom.
* * *
Ron: If it kills by looking people in the eye, why is it no one's dead?Harry: Because no one did look it in the eye. Not directly, at least. Colin saw it through his camera. Justin... Justin must've seen the basilisk through Nearly Headless Nick. Nick got the full blast of it, but he's a ghost; he couldn't die again. And Hermione... had the mirror! I bet you anything she was using it to look around corners in case it came along.
Ron: And Mrs. Norris? I'm pretty sure she didn't have a camera or a mirror, Harry.
Harry: The water. There was water on the floor that night. She only saw the basilisk's reflection.
* * *
Draco Malfoy: Training for the ballet, Potter?
* * *
Ron: Have you spoken to Hermione?Harry: She should be out of hospital in a few days... when she stops coughing up fur balls.
* * *
Ron: Why spiders? Why couldn't it be "Follow the butterflies"?
* * *
Harry: Wish you were here, Hermione. We need you. Now more than ever.
* * *
Hermione: It's a bit strange, isn't it?Harry: Strange?
Hermione: You hear this voice, a voice only you can hear, and then Mrs. Norris turns up petrified? It's just... strange.
Harry: Do you think I should have told them? Dumbledore and the others, I mean.
Ron: Are you mad?
Hermione: No, Harry. Even in the wizarding world, hearing voices isn't a good sign.
* * *
Tom Marvolo Riddle: Let's match the power of Lord Voldemort, Heir of Salazar Slytherin, against the famous Harry Potter.
* * *
Tom Marvolo Riddle: Haven't I told you? Killing Mudbloods doesn't matter to me any more. For many months now, my new target has been you.
* * *
Uncle Vernon: I should think you'd be a little more grateful. We've raised you since you were a baby, given you the food off our table, even let you have Dudley's second bedroom, purely out of the goodness of our hearts.
* * *
Draco Malfoy: "Enemies of the Heir Beware"? You'll be next, mudbloods.
* * *
Tom Marvolo Riddle: Funny, the damage a silly little book can do, especially in the hands of a silly little girl.
* * *
Professor Snape: You were seen. By no less than seven Muggles! Do you have any idea how serious this is? You have risked the exposure of our world! Not to mention the damage you inflicted on a Whomping Willow that's been on these grounds since before you were born!Ron: Honestly, Professor Snape, I think it did more damage to us.
Professor Snape: Silence! I assure you that were you in Slytherin and your fate rested with me, the both of you would be on the train home tonight!
* * *
Ron: Is there anything you CAN do?Gilderoy Lockhart: Yes, now you mention it. I'm rather gifted with Memory Charms. Otherwise, you see, all those wizards would have gone blabbing. And I'd never have sold another book.
* * *
Harry: You're running away? After all that stuff you did in your books?Gilderoy Lockhart: Books can be misleading...
Harry: You wrote them!
Gilderoy Lockhart: My dear boy, do use your common sense! My books wouldn't have sold half as well if people didn't think *I'd* done all those things!
* * *
Harry: But I haven't had any messages, from any of my friends. Not one, all summer.Dudley Dursley: Who'd want to be friends with you?
