“Here lies Dobby, a free elf.”

“We did it, we bashed them wee Potter's the one, and Voldy's gone moldy, so now let's have fun!”

“I want to commit the murder I was imprisoned for.”

“I'll be in my bedroom, making no noise and pretending I'm not there.”

“Your mother died to save you. If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love. Love as powerful as your mother's for you leaves it's own mark. To have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever.”

“If you don’t like to read, you haven’t found the right book.”

“The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure. Thoughts are not etched on the inside of skulls, to be perused by an invader. The mind is a complex and many-layered thing.”

“Every second he breathed, the smell of the grass, the cool air on his face, was so precious: To think that people had years and years, time to waste, so much time it dragged, and he was clinging to each second.”

“A breeze ruffled the neat hedges of Privet Drive, which lay silent and tidy under the inky sky, the very last place you would expect astonishing things to happen. Harry Potter rolled over inside his blankets without waking up. One small hand closed on the letter beside him and he slept on, not knowing he was special, not knowing he was famous, not knowing he would be woken in a few hours' time by Mrs. Dursley's scream as she opened the front door to put out the milk bottles, nor that he would spend the next few weeks being prodded and pinched by his cousin Dudley...He couldn't know that at this very moment, people meeting in secret all over the country were holding up their glasses and saying in hushed voices: "To Harry Potter - the boy who lived!”

“For instance, this new idea that You-Know-Who can kill with a single glance from his eyes. That’s a basilisk, listeners. One simple test: Check whether the thing that’s glaring at you has got legs. If it has, it’s safe to look into its eyes, although if it really is You-Know-Who, that’s still likely to be the last thing you ever do.”

“Don't worry. You're just as sane as I am.”

“You're a prefect? Oh Ronnie! That's everyone in the family!"

“He can run faster than Severus Snape confronted with shampoo.”

“Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike.”

“We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.”

“Wit beyond measure is man’s greatest treasure.”

“We're all human, aren't we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving.”

“Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it.”

“Just because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have.”

“Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory.”

“The truth." Dumbledore sighed. "It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution.”

“Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love.”

“It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.”

“To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.”
