Give me Harry Potter,” said Voldemort’s voice, “and none shall be harmed. Give me Harry Potter, and I shall leave the school untouched. Give me Harry Potter, and you will be rewarded. “You have until midnight.
Author: J. K. RowlingFrom this point forth, we shall be leaving the firm foundation of fact and journeying together through the murky marshes of memory into thickets of wildest guesswork.
Author: J. K. RowlingHarry looked down and saw deep green mountains and lakes, coppery in the sunset.
Author: J. K. RowlingYou 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.
Author: J. K. RowlingYou 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.
Author: J. K. RowlingAs for the fact that Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle appeared to be going their different ways when they were usually inseparable, these things happened as people got older – Ron and Hermione, Harry reflected sadly, were living proof.
Author: J. K. RowlingI just write what I wanted to write. I write what amuses me. It’s totally for myself.
Author: J. K. RowlingLife is difficult, and complicated, and beyond anyone’s total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.
Author: J. K. RowlingYou must accept the reality of other people. You think that reality is up for negotiation, that we think it’s whatever you say it is. You must accept that we are as real as you are; you must accept that you are not God.
Author: J. K. RowlingHe didn’t realize that love as powerful as your mother’s for you leaves its own mark. Not a scar, no visible sign… to have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone will give us some protection forever. it is in your skin.
Author: J. K. RowlingThe long game was ended, the Snitch had been caught, it was time to leave the air…
Author: J. K. RowlingWhat happened down in the dungeons between you and Professor Quirrell is a complete secret, so, naturally the whole school knows.
Author: J. K. RowlingDestiny is a name often given in retrospect to choices that had dramatic consequences.
Author: J. K. RowlingLongbottom, if brains were gold, you’d be poorer than Weasley, and that’s saying something.
Author: J. K. RowlingAccording to Madam Pomfrey, thoughts could leave deeper scars than almost anything else.
Author: J. K. RowlingIt was so good to be held. If only their relationship could be distilled into simple, wordless gestures of comfort. Why had humans ever learned to talk?
Author: J. K. RowlingFred and George turned to each other and said together, “Wow, we’re identical!” “I dunno though, I think I’m still better looking,” said Fred, examining his reflection in the kettle.
Author: J. K. RowlingIt is a strange thing, but when you are dreading something, and would give anything to slow down time, it has a disobliging habit of speeding up.
Author: J. K. RowlingThe wizards represent all that the true ‘muggle’ most fears: They are plainly outcasts and comfortable with being so. Nothing is more unnerving to the truly conventional than the unashamed misfit!
Author: J. K. RowlingThe world is full of wonderful things you haven’t seen yet. Don’t ever give up on the chance of seeing them.
Author: J. K. RowlingI think I’ll just go down and have some pudding and wait for it all to turn up – it always does in the end.
Author: J. K. RowlingThe last words Albus Dumbledore spoke to the pair of us?? Harry is the best hope we have. Trust him.
Author: J. K. RowlingSeverus Snape wasn’t yours,” said Harry. “Snape was Dumbledore’s, Dumbledore’s from the moment you started hunting down my mother. And you never realized it, because of the thing you can’t understand. You never saw Snape cast a Patronus, did you, Riddle?
Author: J. K. RowlingAnd what will you give me in return, Severus?’ ‘In – in return?’ Snape gaped at Dumbledore, and Harry expected him to protest, but after a long moment he said, ‘Anything..
Author: J. K. RowlingNeither can live while the other survives, and one of us is about to leave for good…
Author: J. K. RowlingFrom now on, I don’t care if my tea leaves spell ‘Die, Ron, Die,’ I’m chucking them in the bin where they belong
Author: J. K. RowlingYou care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.
Author: J. K. RowlingWe did it, we bashed them wee Potter’s the one, and Voldy’s gone moldy, so now let’s have fun!
Author: J. K. RowlingMr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.
Author: J. K. RowlingAs our listeners will know, unless they’ve taken refuge at the bottom of a garden pond or somewhere similar, You-Know-Who’s strategy of remaining in the shadows is creating a nice little climate of panic.
Author: J. K. RowlingVoldemort himself created his worst enemy, just as tyrants everywhere do! Have you any idea how much tyrants fear the people they oppress? All of them realize that, one day, amongst their many victims, there is sure to be one who rises against them and strikes back!
Author: J. K. RowlingRemember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory.
Author: J. K. RowlingI would like to be remembered as someone who did the best she could with the talent she had.
Author: J. K. RowlingWe Slytherins are brave, yes, but not stupid. For instance, given the choice, we will always choose to save our own necks.
Author: J. K. RowlingFawkes is a phoenix, Harry. Phoenixes burst into flame when it is time for them to die and are reborn from the ashes.
Author: J. K. RowlingHe didn’t realize that love as powerful as your mother’s for you leaves its own mark.
Author: J. K. RowlingThere 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.
Author: J. K. RowlingYou can laugh! But people used to believe there were no such things as the Blibbering Humdinger or the Crumple-Horned Snorkack!
Author: J. K. RowlingI’m going to keep going until I succeed – or die. Don’t think I don’t know how this might end. I’ve known it for years.
Author: J. K. RowlingThe silence was unbearable to him. If the pictures could have reflected the feelings inside him, they would have been screaming in pain.
Author: J. K. RowlingNo, I’m fine,? said Harry, wondering why he kept telling people this, and wondering whether he had ever been less fine.
Author: J. K. RowlingDumbledore says people find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right.
Author: J. K. RowlingFinally, the truth. Lying with his face pressed into the dusty carpet of the office where he had once thought he was learning the secrets of victory, Harry understood at last that he was not supposed to survive
Author: J. K. RowlingOr yet in wise old Ravenclaw, if you’ve a ready mind, Where those of wit and learning, Will always find their kind.
Author: J. K. RowlingAnd tears came before he could stop them, boiling hot then instantly freezing on his face, and what was the point in wiping them off? Or pretending? He let them fall.
Author: J. K. RowlingAh, Harry, how often this happens, even between the best of friends! Each of us believes that what he has to say is much more important than anything the other might have to contribute!
Author: J. K. RowlingIt’s so difficult to describe depression to someone who’s never been there, because it’s not sadness. I know sadness. Sadness is to cry and to feel. But it’s that cold absence of feeling – that really hollowed-out feeling.
Author: J. K. RowlingSnape’s patronus was a doe,? said Harry, ’the same as my mother’s because he loved her for nearly all of his life, from when they were children.
Author: Isaac NewtonOr perhaps in Slytherin, you’ll make your real friends. Those cunning folk use any means to achieve their ends.
Author: J. K. RowlingBeing different isn’t a bad thing. It means you’re brave enough to be yourself
Author: J. K. RowlingBecause to confide a part of your soul to something that can think and move for itself is obviously a very risky business.
Author: J. K. RowlingHoley? You have the the whole world of ear-related humor before you, you go for holey?
Author: J. K. RowlingOnce again you’ve put your keen and penetrating mind to the task and as usual come to the wrong conclusion!
Author: J. K. RowlingHearing voices no one else can hear isn’t a good sign, even in the wizarding world.
Author: J. K. RowlingReally Hagrid, if you are holding out for universal popularity, I’m afraid you will be in this cabin for a very long time.
Author: J. K. RowlingAlways the innocent are the first victims, so it has been for ages past, so it is now.
Author: J. K. RowlingYou will find that I will only truly have left this school when none here are loyal to me.
Author: J. K. RowlingTwilight fell: The sky turned to a light, dusky purple littered with tiny silver stars.
Author: J. K. RowlingHis eyes are as green as a fresh pickled toad, His hair is as dark as a blackboard. I wish he was mine, he’s really divine, The hero who conquered the Dark Lord.
Author: J. K. RowlingDumbledore would have been happier than anybody to think that there was a little more love in the world.
Author: J. K. RowlingThe 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.
Author: J. K. RowlingSomewhere out in the darkness, a phoenix was singing in a way Harry had never heard before: a stricken lament of terrible beauty. And Harry felt, as he had felt about phoenix song before, that the music was inside him, not without: It was his own grief turned magically to song…
Author: J. K. RowlingI hope you’re pleased with yourselves. We could all have been killed – or worse, expelled. Now if you don’t mind, I’m going to bed.
Author: J. K. RowlingFailure is so important. We speak about success all the time. It is the ability to resist failure or use failure that often leads to greater success. I’ve met people who don’t want to try for fear of failing.
Author: J. K. RowlingYou are the true master of death, because the true master does not seek to run away from Death. He accepts that be must die, and understands that there are far, far worse things in the living world than dying.
Author: J. K. RowlingIt is a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well.
Author: J. K. RowlingThere is an expiry date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction; the moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you.
Author: J. K. RowlingYour mother died to save you. If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love. Love as powerful as your mother’s for you leaves it’s own mark. To have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever.
Author: J. K. RowlingI sometimes find, and I am sure you know the feeling, that I simply have too many thoughts and memories crammed into my mind.
Author: J. K. RowlingYouth can not know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.
Author: J. K. RowlingWe can’t choose our fate, but we can choose others. Be careful in knowing that.
Author: J. K. RowlingI was set free, because my greatest fear had already been realized, and I was still alive, and I still had a daughter whom I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.
Author: J. K. RowlingYou think the dead we loved truly ever leave us? You think that we don’t recall them more clearly in times of great trouble?
Author: J. K. RowlingDifferences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open
Author: J. K. RowlingI think it’s the books that you read when you’re young that live with you forever.
Author: J. K. RowlingJust because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn’t mean we all have.
Author: J. K. RowlingWhether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home
Author: J. K. RowlingShe had a way of seeing the beauty in others, even, and perhaps most especially, when that person couldn’t see it in themselves.
Author: J. K. RowlingHappiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
Author: J. K. RowlingWe’re all human, aren’t we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving.
Author: J. K. RowlingBooks are like mirrors: if a fool looks in, you cannot expect a genius to look out.
Author: J. K. RowlingUnderstanding is the first step to acceptance, and only with acceptance can there be recovery
Author: J. K. RowlingFor in dreams we enter a world that is entirely our own. Let them swim in the deepest ocean or glide over the highest cloud.
Author: J. K. RowlingYou will also find that help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.
Author: J. K. RowlingI don’t believe in the kind of magic in my books. But I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book.
Author: J. K. RowlingThings we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect.
Author: J. K. RowlingDo not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love.
Author: J. K. RowlingOf course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?
Author: J. K. RowlingWe do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already.
Author: J. K. RowlingIf you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.
Author: J. K. RowlingIt takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.
Author: J. K. RowlingWe’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.
Author: J. K. RowlingDark times lie ahead of us and there will be a time when we must choose between what is easy and what is right.
