They don’t need walls and water to keep the prisoners in, not when they’re trapped inside their own heads, incapable of a single cheerful thought. Most go mad within weeks - Lupin
J. K. Rowling
Anything's possible if you've got enough nerve. I was determined to try. I was determined to try because, frankly, my life was such a mess at this point, what - what was the worst that could happen? Everyone turn me down? Big deal.

If he doesn't stop trying to save your life he's going to kill you.
J. K. Rowling
Well, we were always going to fail that one, said Ron gloomily as they ascended the marble staircase. He had just made Harry feel rather better by telling him how he told the examiner in detail about the ugly man with a wart on his nose in the crystal ball, only to look up and realize he had been describing the examiner's reflection.
J. K. Rowling
It's going to be really emotional to say goodbye. I'm going to find it very difficult. But it must be done, it must be done.
J. K. Rowling
Yes, well, principles are sometimes the problem, if you ask me,' said Miles. 'Often what's needed is a bit of common sense.' 'Which is the name people usually give to their prejudices,' rejoined Kay.
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
I think it’s the books that you read when you’re young that live with you forever.
J. K. Rowling
And now a chill settled over them where they stood, and Harry heard the rasping breath of the dementors that patrolled the outer trees. They would not affect him now. The fact of his own survival burned inside him, a talisman against them, as though his father's stag kept guardian in his heart.

One can never have enough socks
J. K. Rowling
Why had he never appreciated the miracle that he was, brain and nerve and bounding heart?
J. K. Rowling
And what in the name of Merlin’s most baggy Y Fronts was that about?
J. K. Rowling
I will carry on writing, to be sure. But I don't know if I would want to publish again after Harry Potter.
