J. K. Rowling
For in dreams we enter a world that is entirely our own. Let them swim in the deepest ocean or glide over the highest cloud.
J. K. Rowling
Harry, guess what? said Tonks from her perch on top of the washing machine, and she wiggled her left hand at him a ring glittered there.

How come the Muggles don’t hear the bus?” said Harry. “Them!” said Stan contemptuously. “Don’ listen properly, do they? Don’ look properly either. Never notice nuffink, they don’.
J. K. Rowling
It is one of the most hauntingly beautiful places in the world, the history is fascinating, the men are handsome and the whisky is delicious. But don't eat the macaroni pies.
