J. K. Rowling
I never meant to call you Mudblood, it just- Lily: Slipped out? It’s too late. I’ve made excuses for you for years. None of my friends can understand why I even talk to you. You and your precious little Death Eater friends ... You’ve chosen your way, I’ve chosen mine.

J. K. Rowling
Now, you two – this year, you behave yourselves. If I get one more owl telling me you've – you've blown up a toilet or – Blown up a toilet? We've never blown up a toilet. Great idea though, thanks, Mum.
J. K. Rowling
There is a lot of comedy in magic, and magic going wrong, and also it is a dramatic subject.
J. K. Rowling
Muggle women wear them, Archie, not the men, they wear these, said the Ministry wizard, and he brandished the pinstriped trousers. I'm not putting them on, said old Archie in indignation. I like a healthy breeze 'round my privates, thanks.
J. K. Rowling
I think you have a moral responsibility when you've been given far more than you need, to do wise things with it and give intelligently.
J. K. Rowling
Depression isn't just being a bit sad. It's feeling nothing. It's not wanting to be alive anymore.
J. K. Rowling

Seventeen, eh! said Hagrid as he accepted a bucket-sized glass of wine from Fred. Six years to the day we met, Harry, d’yeh remember it? Vaguely, said Harry, grinning up at him. Didn’t you smash down the front door, give Dudley a pig’s tail, and tell me I was a wizard? I forge’ the details, Hagrid chortled.
J. K. Rowling
