J. K. Rowling
Dobby is a free elf, and Dobby has come to save Harry Potter and his friends!
J. K. Rowling
There's always room for a story that can transport people to another place.
J. K. Rowling
And this is Nymphadora- Don't call me Nymphadora, Remus, said the young witch with a shudder. It's Tonks. -Nymphadora Tonks, who prefers to be known by her surname only, finished Lupin. So would you if your fool of a mother had called you 'Nymphadora,' muttered Tonks.
J. K. Rowling
You need your Inner Eye tested, if you ask me.
J. K. Rowling
