More quotes by J. K. Rowling
I am the freest author in the world.
J. K. Rowling
He had fought back with every weapon in his arsenal, being alternatively obtuse, evasive and pedantic, for it was wonderful how you could obscure an emotional issue by appearing to seek precision.
J. K. Rowling
And anyway, life's too short.
J. K. Rowling
Print will never die. There's no substitute for the feel of an actual book. I adore physically turning pages, and being able to underline passages and not worrying about dropping them in the bath or running out of power. I also find print books objects of beauty.
J. K. Rowling
The presence of hundreds of books had finally convinced Hermione that what they were doing was right.
J. K. Rowling
Do you mean ter tell me, he growled at the Dursleys, that this boy—this boy!—knows nothin' abou'—about ANYTHING? Harry thought this was going a bit far. He had been to school, after all, and his marks weren't bad. I know some things, he said. I can, you know, do math and stuff.
J. K. Rowling
I was set free because my greatest fear had been realized, and I still had a daughter who I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so rock bottom became a solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.
J. K. Rowling
Mistletoe, said Luna dreamily, pointing at a large clump of white berries placed almost over Harry's head. He jumped out from under it. Good thinking, said Luna seriously. It's often infested with nargles.
J. K. Rowling
Well, I can certainly see why we're trying to keep them alive. Who wouldn't want pets that can burn, sting, and bite all at once?
J. K. Rowling
It was only when he was back in bed that it struck Harry that Dumbledore might not have been quite truthful. But then, it had been a quite personal question.
J. K. Rowling
Be good now, Potty...Weasel King.
J. K. Rowling
And all along the corridor the statues and suits of armor jumped down from their plinths, and from the echoing crashes from the floors above and below, Harry knew that their fellows throughout the castle had done the same.
J. K. Rowling
There's always room for a story that can transport people to another place.
J. K. Rowling
I love inventing names, but I also collect unusual names, so that I can look through my notebook and choose one that suits a new character.
J. K. Rowling
You can try, but you seem cleverer than Fudge, so I'd have thought you'd have learned from his mistakes. He tried intervening at Hogwarts. You might have noticed he's not Minister anymore, but Dumbledore's still headmaster. I'd leave Dumbledore alone, if I were you.
J. K. Rowling
I don't think about who the audience is for my books.
J. K. Rowling
Both could feel the relationship crumbling to pieces beneath the weight of everything that Gavin refused to say.
J. K. Rowling
Witness for the defense, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore.
J. K. Rowling
He tried to give his wife pleasure in little ways, because he had come to realize, after nearly two decades together, how often he disappointed her in the big things. It was never intentional. They simply had very different notions of what ought to take up most space in life.
J. K. Rowling
No, thanks, said Harry. The toilet's never had anything as horrible as your head down it— it might be sick. Then he ran, before Dudley could work out what he'd said.
J. K. Rowling
