If it has, it’s safe to look into its eyes, although if it really is You-Know-Who, that’s still likely to be the last thing you ever do.
J. K. Rowling
Seventeen, eh! said Hagrid as he accepted a bucket-sized glass of wine from Fred. Six years to the day we met, Harry, d’yeh remember it? Vaguely, said Harry, grinning up at him. Didn’t you smash down the front door, give Dudley a pig’s tail, and tell me I was a wizard? I forge’ the details, Hagrid chortled.

J. K. Rowling
Whenever he was in company he wanted to get away, and whenever he was alone he wanted company.
J. K. Rowling
Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here!
J. K. Rowling
Hearing voices no one else can hear isn't a good sign, even in the wizarding world.
J. K. Rowling
Amazing, how much more difficult it was to extend his arm twelve inches and touch her hand than it was to snatch a speeding Snitch from midair.
J. K. Rowling
You saved Dad's life. If anyone's got the right to eavesdrop on him, it's you.
J. K. Rowling
He gave everything to everybody. Except to me.
J. K. Rowling
We all know that the people we love are mortal, we all know we’re mortal, we know it’s going to end you cannot prepare yourself for it.
J. K. Rowling
You fail by default when you live so cautiously you never fail.
J. K. Rowling

I must confess...that I rather thought...you had enough responsibility to be going on with. Harry looked up at him and saw a tear trickling down Dumbledore's face into his long silver beard.
J. K. Rowling
Listeners, that brings us to the end of another Potterwatch. We don’t know when it will be possible to broadcast again, but you can be sure we shall be back. Keep twiddling those dials: the next password will be ‘Mad-Eye.’ Keep each other safe. Keep faith. Good night.
J. K. Rowling
