More quotes by J. K. Rowling

J. K. Rowling
To the Dark Lord, I know I will be dead long before you read this but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret. I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I can. I face death in the hope that when you meet your match, you will be mortal once more. R.A.B
J. K. Rowling
Harry constantly repeated Dumbledore's final words to himself. I will only truly have left this school when none here are loyal to me. ... Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it. But what good were these words? Who exactly were they supposed to ask for help, when everyone was just as confused and scared as they were?
J. K. Rowling
It was as though they had been plunged into a fabulous dream. This, thought Harry, was surely the only way to travel - past swirls and turrets of snowy cloud, in a car full of hot, bright sunlight, with a fat pack of toffees in the glove compartment.
J. K. Rowling
I was ripped from my body, I was less than spirit, less than the meanest ghost . . . but still, I was alive.
J. K. Rowling

J. K. Rowling
Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!
J. K. Rowling
The mind is a complex and many-layered thing, Potter... or at least, most minds are.
J. K. Rowling
Ron's eyebrows rose so high that they were in danger of disappearing into his hair.
J. K. Rowling
The poor things keep calling in those – those pumbles, I think they're called – you know, the ones who mend pipes and things – Plumbers? – exactly, yes, but of course they're flummoxed.
J. K. Rowling
