I remember the first time I heard a teenager say 'LOL.' Just what? But it means 'laugh.' Why don't you just laugh? What are you doing?
J. K. Rowling
Apparently wizards poke their noses in everywhere!
J. K. Rowling
At fourteen, you really do start realising that the world is not a safe and protected place or not always.
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
But I don’t think I’ve ever known such a natural at Potions!” said Slughorn. “Instinctive, you know — like his mother!

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
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
No story lives unless someone wants to listen. So thank you, all of you.
J. K. Rowling

J. K. Rowling
Everything was curved to fit the walls: the stove, the sink and the cupboards, and all of it had been painted with flowers, insects and birds in bright primary colours.
J. K. Rowling
Secretly we're all a little more absurd than we make ourselves out to be.
J. K. Rowling
It's best to know what the enemy are saying.
J. K. Rowling
Harry constantly repeated Dumbledore's final words to himself. I will only truly have left this school when none here are loyal to me. ... Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it. But what good were these words? Who exactly were they supposed to ask for help, when everyone was just as confused and scared as they were?
J. K. Rowling
We must try not to sink beneath our anguish, Harry, but battle on.
J. K. Rowling
Every second he breathed, the smell of the grass, the cool air on his face, was so precious: To think that people had years and years, time to waste, so much time it dragged, and he was clinging to each second.
J. K. Rowling
