Love wins. It does win. We know it wins.
J. K. Rowling
I would rather die than betray his trust. That's not saying much, seeing as you're already dead, Ron observed. Once again, you show all the sensitivity of a blunt axe, said Nearly Headless Nick in affronted tones.
J. K. Rowling
She had a way of moving that moved him as much as music, which was what moved him most of all. Surely the spirit animating that pearless body must be unusual too? Why would nature make a vessel like that, if not to contain something still more valuable?
J. K. Rowling
Can I have a look at Uranus too, Lavender?
J. K. Rowling
I've never wanted to be a witch, but an alchemist, now that's a different matter. To invent this wizard world, I've learned a ridiculous amount about alchemy. Perhaps much of it I'll never use in the books, but I have to know in detail what magic can and cannot do in order to set the parameters and establish the stories' internal logic.
J. K. Rowling
He might have crawled up into the airing cupboard and died, but I mustn't get my hopes up.
J. K. Rowling
Don’ you worry, Harry. You’ll learn fast enough. Everyone starts at the beginning at Hogwarts, you’ll be just fine. Just be yerself. I know it’s hard. Yeh’ve been singled out, an’ that’s always hard. But yeh’ll have a great time at Hogwarts — I did — still do, ’smatter of fact.
J. K. Rowling
Knocking the shrieking goblins aside like skittles
J. K. Rowling
Sport is a very important subject at school, that's why I gave Quidditch such an important place at Hogwarts. I was very bad in sports, so I gave Harry a talent I would really loved to have. Who wouldn't want to fly?
J. K. Rowling
Parminder kept her unwept tears locked tightly inside where they seemed to undergo an alchemical transformation, returning to the outer world as lava slides of rage.
J. K. Rowling
If you love something - and there are things that I love - you do want more and more and more of it, but that's not the way to produce good work.
J. K. Rowling
I gave my hero a talent I'd love to have. Who wouldn't want to fly?
J. K. Rowling
Always the innocent are the first victims, so it has been for ages past, so it is now.
J. K. Rowling
I've been writing since I was six. It is a compulsion, so I can't really say where the desire came from I've always had it. My breakthrough with the first book came through persistence, because a lot of publishers turned it down!
J. K. Rowling
You're the one who is weak. You will never know love or friendship. And I feel sorry for you.
J. K. Rowling
I would like to be remembered as someone who did the best she could with the talent she had.
J. K. Rowling
The thing about fantasy - there are certain things you just don't do in fantasy.
J. K. Rowling
Contemplating the task ahead would not make it easier or the water warmer.
J. K. Rowling
If you have to ask, you’ll never know. If you know, you need only ask.
J. K. Rowling
You foul, lying, evil little cockroach!
J. K. Rowling
