Greatness inspires envy, envy engenders spite, spite spawns lies.
J. K. Rowling
Choice was dangerous: you had to forgo all other possibilities when you chose.
J. K. Rowling
I will defend the importance of bedtime stories to my last gasp.
J. K. Rowling
There is no part of me that feels that I represented myself as your children’s babysitter or their teacher. I was always, I think, completely honest. I’m a writer, and I will write what I want to write.
J. K. Rowling
You think it - wise - to trust Hagrid with something as important as this? I would trust Hagrid with my life, said Dumbledore.
J. K. Rowling
The middle class is so funny, it's the class I know best, and it's the class where you find the most pretension, so that's what makes the middle classes so funny.
J. K. Rowling
Beside him, making scarcely a sound, walked James, Sirius, Lupin, and Lily, and their presence was his courage, and the reason he was able to keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Just because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have.
J. K. Rowling
If you love something - and there are things that I love - you do want more and more and more of it, but that's not the way to produce good work.
J. K. Rowling
Where is Wood? said Harry, suddenly realizing he wasn't there. Still in the showers, said Fred. We think he's trying to drown himself.
J. K. Rowling
He felt his heart pounding fiercely in his chest. How strange that in his dread of death, it pumped all the harder, valiantly keeping him alive. But it would have to stop, and soon. Its beats were numbered. How many would there be time for, as he rose and walked through the castle for the last time, out into the grounds and into the forest?
J. K. Rowling
I think I've really exhausted the magical. It was a lot of fun, but I've put it behind me for the time being.
J. K. Rowling
Secretly we're all a little more absurd than we make ourselves out to be.
J. K. Rowling
I'd always said never say never, because I knew that Warner Brothers wanted to do something with Fantastic Beasts, and I did have kind of a yen to do that.
J. K. Rowling
I bet you’re not dangerous at all, are you? Are you, you great ugly brute?
J. K. Rowling
I think writing about the time in Hermione’s life that I write about – growing from childhood into womanhood, literally, I think it brought back to me how very difficult it is.So much is expected of you as you become a woman, and often you are asked to sacrifice parts of you in becoming a girl, I would say. Hermione doesn’t.
J. K. Rowling
One can never have enough socks, said Dumbledore. Another Christmas has come and gone and I didn't get a single pair. People will insist on giving me books.
J. K. Rowling
I believe in free will. Of those that, like us, are in a privileged situation at least. For you, for me: people who are living in western society, people who are not repressed, who are free. We can choose. The things go largely like you want them to go. You control your own life. Your own will is extremely powerful.
J. K. Rowling
I believe your friends Misters Fred and George Weasley were responsible for trying to send you a toilet seat. No doubt they thought it would amuse you.
J. K. Rowling
You're a wizard, Harry.
