What are we doing here? Has something gone wrong?” “Oh no, Ron,” came Fred’s voice, very sarcastically. “No, this is exactly where we wanted to end up.

I think I'll just go down and have some pudding and wait for it all to turn up - it always does in the end.

What’s comin’ will come, an’ we’ll meet it when it does.

I thought it sounded a bit like Percy singing... maybe you've got to attack him while he's in the shower, Harry.

Curiosity is not a sin.... But we should exercise caution with our curiosity... yes, indeed.

Anyone can speak Troll. All you have to do is point and grunt.

Well, I certainly don't," said Percy sanctimoniously. "I shudder to think what the state of my in-tray would be if I was away from work for five days." "Yeah, someone might slip dragon dung in it again, eh, Perce?" said Fred. "That was a sample of fertilizer from Norway!" said Percy, going very red in the face. "It was nothing personal!"

Harry!" said Fred, elbowing Percy out of the way and bowing deeply. "Simply splendid to see you, old boy-" "Marvelous," said George, pushing Fred aside and seizing Harry's hand in turn. "Absolutely spiffing." Percy scowled. "That's enough, now," said Mrs. Weasley. "Mum!" said Fred as though he'd only just spotted her and seizing her hand too. "How really corking to see you-

Scrimgeour: "It's time you learned some respect!" Harry: "It's time you earned it.

And anyway, it’s not as though I’ll never see Mum again, is it?

Never be ashamed! There's some who'll hold it against you, but they're not worth bothering with.

Do not pity the dead, Harry.

In dreams, we enter a world that’s entirely our own.

Ron: Why spiders? Why couldn't it be "follow the butterflies?

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

You will also find that help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.

Dobby is a free elf, and Dobby has come to save Harry Potter and his friends!

OH NO YOU DON’T, LADDIE!” Harry spun around. Professor Moody was limping down the marble staircase. His wand was out and it was pointing right at a pure white ferret, which was shivering on the stone-flagged floor, exactly where Malfoy had been standing.

He can run faster than Severus Snape confronted with shampoo.

Can I have a look at Uranus too, Lavender?

Where is Wood?" said Harry, suddenly realizing he wasn't there. "Still in the showers," said Fred. "We think he's trying to drown himself.

Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here!

... perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it.

The moment I said I'd finished a book, I knew what would happen. There would be a bidding war, and I would end up with someone who'd got the fattest wallet, who had bought it because I'd written Harry Potter. That would have been why.

George,” said Fred, “I think we’ve outgrown full-time education.” “Yeah, I’ve been feeling that way myself,” said George lightly.

Never tickle a sleeping dragon.

You need your Inner Eye tested, if you ask me.

You think the dead we loved ever truly leave us?

Harry witnessed Professor McGonagall walking right past Peeves who was determinedly loosening a crystal chandelier and could have sworn he heard her tell the poltergeist out of the corner of her mouth 'It unscrews the other way.

You are protected, in short, by your ability to love!

Holey? You have the the whole world of ear-related humor before you, you go for holey?
