More quotes by J. K. Rowling
I knew no one who'd ever been in the public eye.
J. K. Rowling
Hagrid. You live in a wooden house!
J. K. Rowling
I would rather die than betray his trust. That's not saying much, seeing as you're already dead, Ron observed. Once again, you show all the sensitivity of a blunt axe, said Nearly Headless Nick in affronted tones.
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
My Head of House said I lacked certain necessary qualities...like the ability to behave myself.
J. K. Rowling
You could say sorry, suggested Harry bluntly. What, and get attacked by another flock of canaries? muttered Ron. What did you have to imitate her for? She laughed at my mustache! So did I, it was the stupidest thing I've ever seen.
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
The Ministry places a rather higher value on my life than yours, I’m afraid.
J. K. Rowling
Imagination is the power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared.
J. K. Rowling
I was ripped from my body, I was less than spirit, less than the meanest ghost . . . but still, I was alive.
J. K. Rowling
I knew Ginny was lying about that tattoo.
J. K. Rowling
Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it.
J. K. Rowling
Contemplating the task ahead would not make it easier or the water warmer.
J. K. Rowling
Gryffindor leads by eighty points to zero, and look at that Firebolt go! Potter’s really putting it through its paces now, see it turn — Chang’s Comet is just no match for it, the Firebolt’s precision-balance is really noticeable in these long —” “JORDAN! ARE YOU BEING PAID TO ADVERTISE FIREBOLTS? GET ON WITH THE COMMENTARY!
J. K. Rowling
How do you feel, Georgie? whispered Mrs. Weasley. George's fingers groped for the side of his head. Saintlike, he murmured. What's wrong with him? croaked Fred, looking terrified. Is his mind affected? Saintlike, repeated George, opening his eyes and looking up at his brother. You see...I'm HOLEY, Fred, geddit?
J. K. Rowling
If you are writing children's books, you need to be a ruthless killer.
J. K. Rowling
Without cunning, there is no innovation. Without ambition, there is no accomplishment.
J. K. Rowling
The barman sidled toward them out of a back room. He was a grump-looking old man with a great deal of a long gray hair and a beard. He was tall and thin and looked vaguely familiar to Harry.
J. K. Rowling
He chanced a glance at her. She was not tearful that was one of the many wonderful things about Ginny, she was rarely weepy. He had sometimes thought that having six brothers must have toughened her up.
J. K. Rowling
If she could have died...if she could have disappeared forever...but the solid surface of things refused to dissolve around her, and her body, her hateful hermaphrodite's body, continued in its stubborn, lumpen way, to live.
J. K. Rowling
