What’s comin’ will come, an’ we’ll meet it when it does.
J. K. Rowling
For instance, this new idea that You-Know-Who can kill with a single glance from his eyes. That’s a basilisk, listeners. One simple test: Check whether the thing that’s glaring at you has got legs.

J. K. Rowling
You look in excellent health to me, Potter, so you will excuse me if I don't let you off homework today. I assure you that if you do die, you need not hand it in.
J. K. Rowling
Giggling should be made illegal.
J. K. Rowling
It's going to be all right, sir, Harry said over and over again, more worried by Dumbledore's silence than he had been by his weakened voice. We're nearly there ... I can Apparate us both back ... don't worry ... I am not worried, Harry, said Dumbledore, his voice a little stronger despite the freezing water. I am with you.
J. K. Rowling
She had a way of seeing the beauty in others, even, and perhaps most especially, when that person couldn't see it in themselves.
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.
J. K. Rowling
Finding out what you’re good at, and doing it to the best of your ability, is the route to self-respect.
J. K. Rowling
Hagrid looked down at his umbrella and scratched his beard. 'Shouldn'ta lost me temper,' he said ruefully, 'but it didn't work anyway. Meant ter turn him into a pig, but I suppose he was so much like a pig anyway there wasn't much left ter do.
J. K. Rowling
Aunt Petunia often said that Dudley looked like a baby angel — Harry often said that Dudley looked like a pig in a wig.
J. K. Rowling
Get up, you useless lump, get up!
J. K. Rowling
Draco Malfoy is a bad boy! squeaked Dobby angrily.
J. K. Rowling
Poverty is a lot like childbirth - you know it is going to hurt before it happens, but you'll never know how much until you experience it.
J. K. Rowling
I—I didn't think— That, said Professor McGonagall, is obvious.
