"Harry was left to ponder in silence the depths to which girls would sink to get revenge."
— J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)

Harry Potter,

"Do you remember me telling you we are practicing non-verbal spells, Potter?"
"Yes," said Harry stiffly.
"Yes, sir."
"There's no need to call me "sir" Professor."
The words had escaped him before he knew what he was saying."

"It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more."

— J.K. Rowling

"'He accused me of being Dumbledore's man through and through.'

'How very rude of him.'

'I told him I was.'

Dumbledore opened his mouth to speak and then closed it again. Fawkes the phoenix let out a low, soft, musical cry. To Harry's intense embarrassment, he suddenly realized that Dumbledore's bright blue eyes looked rather watery, and stared hastily at his own knee. When Dumbledore spoke, however, his voice was quite steady.

'I am very touched Harry.'"
— J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)

"I DON'T CARE!" Harry yelled at them, snatching up a lunascope and throwing it into the fireplace. "I'VE HAD ENOUGH, I'VE SEEN ENOUGH, I WANT OUT, I WANT IT TO END, I DON'T CARE ANYMORE"
"You do care," said Dumbledore. He had not flinched or made a single move to stop Harry demolishing his office. His expression was calm, almost detached. "You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it."
— J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix)

"A breeze ruffled the neat hedges of Privet Drive, which lay silent and tidy under the inky sky, the very last place you would expect astonishing things to happen. Harry Potter rolled over inside his blankets without waking up. One small hand closed on the letter beside him and he slept on, not knowing he was special, not knowing he was famous, not knowing he would be woken in a few hours' time by Mrs. Dursley's scream as she opened the front door to put out the milk bottles, nor that he would spend the next few weeks being prodded and pinched by his cousin Dudley...He couldn't know that at this very moment, people meeting in secret all over the country were holding up their glasses and saying in hushed voices: "To Harry Potter - the boy who lived!"
— J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone)

"The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure. Thoughts are not etched on the inside of skulls, to be perused by an invader. The mind is a complex and many-layered thing."
— J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix)

"Dumbledore's man through and through, aren't you Potter?"
"Yeah I am," said Harry. "Glad we straightened that out."
— J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)

"'Don't talk to me.'
'Why not?'
'Because I want to fix that in my memory for ever. Draco Malfoy, the amazing bouncing ferret...' "
— J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire)

"Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people. … The real difference is that [Harry Potter author] Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and [Twilight author] Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good."

— J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban)

"The only way out is through."
— J.K. Rowling

"Debbie had to get up and slice me a thick piece of cake before she could answer. And I do mean thick. Harry Potter volume seven thick. I could have knocked out a burglar with this piece of cake. Once I tasted it, though, it seemed just the right size."
— Maureen Johnson (Let It Snow: Three Holiday Stories)

"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."
— J.K. Rowling

"So, why in Merlin's shaggy left..."
"Ronald, don't talk to your mother that way."

"'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 thigs alone now. Voldemort uses people his enemies are close to. He'salready 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...'"
— J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)

"Of all the trees we could've hit, we had to pick one that fights back."

"His hand closed automatically around the fake Horcrux but in spite of everything, in spite of the dark and twisting path he saw stretching ahead for himself, in spite of the final meeting with Voldemort he knew must come whether in a month in a year or in ten, he felt his heart lift at the thought that there was still one last golden day of peace left to enjoy with Ron and Hermione.

"An Unbreakable Vow?" said Ron, looking stunned. "Nah, he can’t have.... Are you sure?"
"Yes I’m sure," said Harry. "Why, what does it mean?"
"Well, you can’t break an Unbreakable Vow..."
"I’d worked that much out for myself, funnily enough."
— J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)

"Okay. Now my skin is really prickling. I've read all the Harry Potter books, all five of them. I don't remember any half-blood prince.

"What's this?" Trying to sound casual, I point at the ad, "What's Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince?"

"That's the latest book," Garth the other trainee, says "It came out ages ago."

I can't help gasping. "There's a sixth Harry Potter?"

"There's a seventh out soon!" Diana steps forward eagerly "And guess what happens at the end of book six-"

"Shh!" exclaims Nicole, the other nurse "Don't tell her!""
— Sophie Kinsella (Remember Me?)

"Don't you turn your back to me, Harry Potter! I want you to look at me when I kill you! I want to see the light leave your eyes!"
— J.K. Rowling

"'Xenophilius Lovegood,' he said, extending a hand to Harry. 'My daughter and I live over the hill, so kind of the Weasleys to invite us. I think you know my Luna?' he added to Ron.

'Yes' said Ron. 'Isn't she with you?'

'She lingered in that charming little garden to say hello to the gnomes, such a glorious infestation! How few wizards realize just how much we can learn from the wise little gnomes-or, to give then their correct names, the Gernumbli gardensi.'

'Ours do know a lot of excellent swear words,' said Ron, 'but I think Fred and George taught then those.'"
— J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows)

"And now, Harry, let us step into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure."
— J.K. Rowling

""Enter stranger but take heed, of what awaits the sin of greed. If you take but do not earn, you must pay most dearly in your turn. If you seek beneath our floors, a treasure that was never yours. Theif, you have been warned beware, of finding more than treasure there...""
— J.K. Rowling

""Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something please,
Whether we be old and bald,
Or young wit scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling
With some interesting stuff,
For now thet're bare and full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff,
So teach us something worth knowing,
Bring us back what we've forgot,
Just do your best, we'll do the rest,
And learn until our brians all rot...""
— J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone)
