More quotes by J. K. Rowling
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
Dumbledore would have been happier than anybody to think that there was a little more love in the world.
J. K. Rowling
The Ministry places a rather higher value on my life than yours, I’m afraid.
J. K. Rowling
Sirius — it’s me . . . it’s Peter . . . your friend . . . you wouldn’t . . .” Black kicked out and Pettigrew recoiled. “There’s enough filth on my robes without you touching them,” said Black.
J. K. Rowling
I look at the effect that an individual's fame has on their family, for example, and the limitations that places upon your life to an extent - of course, it brings marvelous things too, but it brings them mainly to the individual. The people around the famous person often pay a price without reaping many of the rewards.
J. K. Rowling

J. K. Rowling
And do I look like the kind of man that can be intimidated? barked Uncle Vernon. Well... said Moody, pushing back his bowler hat to reveal his sinisterly revolving eye. Uncle Vernon lept backward in horror and collided painfully with a luggage trolley. Yes, I'd have to say you do, Dursley.
J. K. Rowling
The only reason to delay at this point was because the immediate prospect was so deeply uninviting.
J. K. Rowling
Wow, we're identical!
J. K. Rowling
You are — truly your father’s son, Harry. . . .
J. K. Rowling
Taunting Death ... means pitting oneself against a wily enemy who cannot lose.
J. K. Rowling
Poverty entails fear and stress and sometimes depression. It means a thousand petty humiliations and hardships.
J. K. Rowling
Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
J. K. Rowling
What are Fred and I? Next door neighbors?
J. K. Rowling
You are the true master of death, because the true master does not seek to run away from Death.
J. K. Rowling
These girls... they're going to kill me, Harry.
J. K. Rowling
And now a chill settled over them where they stood, and Harry heard the rasping breath of the dementors that patrolled the outer trees. They would not affect him now. The fact of his own survival burned inside him, a talisman against them, as though his father's stag kept guardian in his heart.
J. K. Rowling
Wherever I am, if I've got a book with me, I have a place I can go and be happy
J. K. Rowling
I'm a what? gasped Harry. A wizard, o' course, said Hagrid, sitting back down on the sofa, which groaned and sank even lower, an' a thumpin' good'un I'd say, once yeh've been trained up a bit. With a mum an' dad like yours, what else would yeh be?
J. K. Rowling
I want to fall in love with something in the way I fell in love with the idea of Harry before I write anything else.
