• Madam Pomfrey
  Thoughts could leave deeper scarring than almost anything else.
  
  
• Luna Lovegood
  No, I think I'll just go down and have some pudding and wait for it all to turn up... It always does in the end.
  
  
• Harry Potter to Dudley
  You don't tell her to shut her face. What about "Popkin" and "Dinky Diddydums," can I use them then?
  
  
• Luna Lovegood on Thestrals
  I've been able to see them ever since my first day here. They've always pulled the carriages. Don't worry. You're just as sane as I am.
  
  
• Peeves
  Oh, most think he's barking, the Potty wee lad,
  But some are more kindly and think he's just sad,
  But Peevsy knows better and says that he's mad.
  
  
• Harry Potter
  So that's it, is it? Stay there? That's all anyone could tell me after I got attacked by those dementors too! Just stay put while the grown-ups sort it out, Harry! We won't bother telling you anything, though, because your tiny little brain might not be able to cope with it!
  
  
• Phineas Nigellus
  This is precisely why I loathed being a teacher! Young people are so infernally convinced that they are right about everything.
  
  
• Professor Snape
  Fools who wear their hearts proudly on their sleeves, who cannot control their emotions, who wallow in sad memories and allow themselves to be provoked this easily -- weak people, in other words -- they stand no chance against his powers! He will penetrate your mind with absurd ease, Potter!
  
  
• Professor Snape
  That is just as well, Potter, because you are neither special nor important, and it is not up to you to find out what the Dark Lord is saying to his Death Eaters.
  
  
• Umbridge
  Potter has no chance whatsoever of becoming an Auror!
  
  
• Lupin
  I wouldn't want you to judge your father on what you saw there, Harry. He was only fifteen.
  
  
• Hermione
  This isn't a criticism, Harry! But you do... sort of... I mean -- don't you think you've got a bit of a -- a -- saving people thing?
  
  
• Bellatrix
  Never used an Unforgivable Curse before, have you, boy? You need to mean them Potter! You need to really want to cause pain -- to enjoy it -- righteous anger won't hurt me for long -- I'll show you how it is done, shall I? I'll give you a lesson.
  
  
• Dumbledore
  Harry, suffering like this proves you are still a man! This pain is part of being human.
  
  
• Dumbledore
  She gave you a lingering protection he never expected, a protection that flows in your veins to this day. I put my trust, therefore, in your mother's blood. I delivered you to her sister, her only remaining relative.
  
  
• Dumbledore
  Is there a defense? I defy anyone who has watched you as I have -- and I have watched you more closely than you can have imagined -- not to want to save you more pain than you had already suffered. What did I care if numbers of nameless and faceless people and creatures were slaughtered in the vague future, if in the here and now you were alive, and well, and happy? I never dreamed that I would have such a person on my hands.
  
  
• Dumbledore
  In the end, it mattered not that you could not close your mind. It was your heart that saved you.
  
  
• Malfoy to Harry Potter
  You're going to pay; I'm going to make you pay for what you've done to my father...
  
  
• Dumbledore
  Well -- it's just that you seem to be laboring under the delusion that I am going to -- what is the phrase? -- come quietly. I am afraid I am not going to come quietly at all, Cornelius. I have absolutely no intention of being sent to Azkaban. I could break out, of course -- but what a waste of time, and frankly, I can think of a whole host of things I would rather be doing.
