Read as much as you possibly can. Nothing will help you as much as reading.
J. K. Rowling
Yes, Harry, blessed as I am with extraordinary brainpower, I understood everything you told me. I think you might even consider the possibility that I understood more than you did.
J. K. Rowling
You never get it right, you people, do you? Either we've got Fudge, pretending everything's lovely while people get murdered right under his nose, or we've got you, chucking the wrong people into jail and trying to pretend you've got 'The Chosen One' working for you!
J. K. Rowling

Its beats were numbered. How many would there be time for, as he rose and walked through the castle for the last time, out into the grounds and into the forest?
J. K. Rowling
Can I have a look at Uranus too, Lavender?
J. K. Rowling
... you could claim that anything's real if the only basis for believing in it is that nobody's proved it doesn't exist!
J. K. Rowling
If I wasn't a writer, I would be depressed.
J. K. Rowling
Wands are only as powerful as the wizards who use them. Some wizards just like to boast that theirs are bigger and better than other people's.
J. K. Rowling
Mad Eye' Moody on the Avada Kedavra curse: Not nice, he said calmly. Not pleasant. And there's no counter curse. There's no blocking it. Only one known person has ever survived it, and he's sitting right in front of me.
J. K. Rowling
Never tickle a sleeping dragon.
J. K. Rowling
We Slytherins are brave, yes, but not stupid. For instance, given the choice, we will always choose to save our own necks.
J. K. Rowling
It was on the corner of the street that he noticed the first sign of something peculiar - a cat reading a map.
J. K. Rowling
Pity you can't attach an extra arm to your [broom], Malfoy. Then it could catch the Snitch for you.
J. K. Rowling
He chanced a glance at her. She was not tearful that was one of the many wonderful things about Ginny, she was rarely weepy. He had sometimes thought that having six brothers must have toughened her up.
