It is our choices... that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
J. K. Rowling
Hagrid. You live in a wooden house!
J. K. Rowling
Voldemort himself created his worst enemy, just as tyrants everywhere do! Have you any idea how much tyrants fear the people they oppress? All of them realize that, one day, amongst their many victims, there is sure to be one who rises against them and strikes back!
J. K. Rowling
I think it's difficult to be honest about certain aspects of my work without acknowledging that I have experienced or felt or questioned certain of the themes in the books.
J. K. Rowling
I've never wanted to be a witch, but an alchemist, now that's a different matter. To invent this wizard world, I've learned a ridiculous amount about alchemy. Perhaps much of it I'll never use in the books, but I have to know in detail what magic can and cannot do in order to set the parameters and establish the stories' internal logic.
J. K. Rowling
Be ruthless about protecting writing days, i.e., do not cave in to endless requests to have essential and long overdue meetings on those days.
J. K. Rowling
It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.
J. K. Rowling
If I wasn't a writer, I would be depressed.
J. K. Rowling
Don't talk to me. Why not? Because I want to fix that in my memory for ever. Draco Malfoy, the amazing bouncing ferret.
J. K. Rowling
That, said Harry, is a really good question.
J. K. Rowling
Voldemort uses people his enemies are close to. He's already used you as bait once, and that was just because you're my best friend's sister. Think how much danger you'll be in if we keep this up. He'll know, he'll find out. He'll try and get to me through you.
J. K. Rowling
So Dobby stopped us from getting on the train and broke your arm. . . . He shook his head. You know what, Harry? If he doesn't stop trying to save your life he's going to kill you.
J. K. Rowling
No man or woman alive, magical or not, has ever escaped some form of injury, whether physical, mental, or emotional. To hurt is as human as to breathe.
J. K. Rowling
Silence fell between the four of them as they looked up at the sky. There was no sign of movement, the stars stared back, unblinking, indifferent, unobscured by flying friends. Where was Ron? Where were Fred and Mr Weasley? Where were Bill, Fleur, Tonks, Mad Eye, Mundungus?
J. K. Rowling
It's our choices, more than anything, that show who we really are.
J. K. Rowling
I'm sure that I'll never have another success like Harry Potter for the rest of my life, no matter how many books I write, and no matter whether they're good or bad.
J. K. Rowling
And tears came before he could stop them, boiling hot then instantly freezing on his face, and what was the point in wiping them off? Or pretending? He let them fall.
J. K. Rowling
I think it's alarming that people believe that success enables one to forget how life felt before. As if one could simply exchange one's values.
J. K. Rowling
You’d think a bit of kissing would cheer her up.
J. K. Rowling
You thought I would not weesh to marry him? Or per'aps you hoped? said Fleur, her nostrils flaring. What do I care how he looks? I am good-looking enough for both of us, I theenk! All these scars show is zat my husband is brave! And I shall do zat! she added fiercely, pushing Mrs. Weasley aside and snatching the ointment from her.
