I'm a person whose childhood wasn't connected with Harry Potter and so now it's the first time I watch this film series. And what can I say? I've fallen in love with this fairy tale world! Its main advantage is that it isn't just an entertainment for children - the story is pretty dark and mystic. Despite the fact, "Harry Potter" events follow magic, it shows true relationships - kind and sincere.

Quotations
* * *
Hermione: Now if you two don't mind, I'm going to bed before either of you come up with another clever idea to get us killed - or worse, expelled.Ron: She needs to sort out her priorities!
* * *
Dumbledore: It does not do to dwell on dreams, Harry, and forget to live.
* * *
Dumbledore: It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends.
* * *
Hagrid: You're a wizard, Harry!Harry: I'm a what?
* * *
Hermione: You'll be okay, Harry. You're a great wizard. You really are.Harry: Not as good as you.
Hermione: Me? Books and cleverness. There are more important things: friendship and bravery. And Harry, just be careful.
* * *
Dumbledore: What happened down in the dungeon between you and Professor Quirrell is a complete secret. So, naturally, the whole school knows.
* * *
Hermione: Stop moving, both of you. This is devil's snare! You have to relax. If you don't, it'll only kill you faster!Ron: Kill us faster? Oh, now I can relax!
* * *
Voldemort: There is no good and evil. There is only power, and those too weak to seek it.
* * *
Ron: I think we've had a bad influence on her.
* * *
Dumbledore: Only a person who wanted to find the Stone - find it, but not use it - would be able to get it. That is one of my more brilliant ideas. And between you and me, that is saying something.
* * *
Sorting Hat: Hmm, difficult. VERY difficult. Plenty of courage, I see. Not a bad mind, either. There's talent, oh yes. And a thirst to prove yourself. But where to put you?Harry: Not Slytherin. Not Slytherin.
Sorting Hat: Not Slytherin, eh? Are you sure? You could be great, you know. It's all here in your head. And Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness, there's no doubt about that. No?
Harry: Please, please. Anything but Slytherin, anything but Slytherin.
Sorting Hat: Well if you're sure, better be... GRYFFINDOR!
* * *
Draco Malfoy: You'll soon find out that some wizarding families are better than others, Potter. You don't wanna go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there.[he holds out his hand, which Harry doesn't take]
Harry: I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself, thanks.
* * *
Harry: I swear I don't know. One minute the glass was there and then it was gone. It was like magic.Uncle Vernon: There's no such thing as magic!
* * *
Harry: Say, Percy, who's that teacher talking to Professor Quirrell?Percy Weasley: Oh, that's Professor Snape, head of Slytherin House.
Harry: What's he teach?
Percy Weasley: Potions. But everyone knows it's the Dark Arts he fancies. He's been after Quirrell's job for *years*.
* * *
Ron: Wingardium leviosar!Hermione: Stop, stop, stop! You're going to take someone's eye out. Besides, you're saying it wrong. It's LeviOsa, not LeviosAR!
Seamus Finnigan: I'm half and half. Me dad's a muggle; Mam's a witch. Bit of a nasty shock for him when he found out.
* * *
Hermione: You've got dirt on your nose, by the way. Did you know? Just there.
* * *
Draco Malfoy: Think my name's funny, do you? No need to ask yours. Red hair... and a hand-me-down robe. You must be a Weasley.
* * *
Hermione: Look at you playing with your cards. Pathetic! We've got final exams coming up soon.Ron: I'm ready! Ask me any question.
Hermione: All right, what are the three most crucial ingredients in a Forgetfulness Potion?
Ron: I forgot.
Hermione: And what, may I ask, do you plan to do if this comes up in the final exam?
Ron: Copy off you?
Hermione: No, you won't! Besides, according to Professor McGonagall, we're to be given special quills bewitched with an anti-cheating spell.
* * *
Draco Malfoy: It's true then, what they're saying on the train. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts.
* * *
Ron: Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid, fat rat yellow!
* * *
Harry: Excuse me sir, can you tell me where I might find Platform Nine and Three-Quarters?Station Guard: Nine and Three-Quarters? Think you're being funny do ya?
* * *
Dudley Dursley: [on Dudley's birthday] How many are there?Uncle Vernon: 36, counted them myself.
Dudley Dursley: 36! But last year, last year I had 37!
Uncle Vernon: Yes, yes, but some of them are quite a bit bigger than last year.
Dudley Dursley: I don't care how big they are!
* * *
Hermione: Are you sure that's a real spell? Well, it's not very good, is it?
* * *
Voldemort: Harry Potter. We meet again.Harry: Voldemort?
Voldemort: Yes. You see what I've become? See what I must do to survive? Live off another, a mere parasite! Unicorn blood can sustain me, but it cannot give me a body of my own. But there is something that can; something that, conveniently enough, lies in your pocket!
* * *
Hagrid: See Harry, you're famous.Harry: But why am I famous, Hagrid? All those people back there, how is it they know who I am?
Hagrid: I'm not sure I'm exactly the right person to tell you that, Harry.
