Each Harry Potter movie has been a blockbuster. The world of magic, created by J K Rowling, comes alive in every Harry Potter movie. Superb performances, excellent visual effects, and brilliant screenplay have made Harry Potter movies timeless masterpieces. Here is a collection of the best Harry Potter movie quotes.
  • Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
    Harry: I swear I don't know. One second the glass was there and the next it was gone. It was like magic.
    Uncle Vernon: There is no such thing as magic!

  • Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
    Draco Malfoy: So it's true then, what they were saying on the train. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts.

  • Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
    Hermione: (after Hagrid gives Ron Scabbers back) I think you owe someone an apology.
    Ron: Right. Next time I see Crookshanks, I'll let him know.
    Hermione: (annoyed) I meant me!

  • Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
    Dumbledore: A word of caution: dementors are vicious creatures. They will not distinguish between the one they hunt and the one who gets in there way. Therefore I must warn each and every one of you to give them no reason to harm you. It's not in the nature of a dementor to be forgiving. But you know happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light.

  • Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
    Mr. Ollivander: It's curious that you should be destined for this wand when its brother gave you that scar.

    Hermione: YOU FOUL, LOATHSOME, EVIL LITTLE COCKROACH!
    (Hermione raises wand at Malfoy)
    Ron: Hermione, no. He's not worth it.
    (Hermione lowers wand)
    Ron: (Malfoy laughs and then Hermione socks him in the nose)
    (Malfoy and friends run away)
    Hermione: That felt good.
    Ron: Not good, Brilliant

  • Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
    Professor McGonagall: This boy will be famous. There won't be a child in our world who doesn't know his name.

  • Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
    Professor Lupin: Now repeat after me -- without wands please -- repeat after me, Riddikulus.
    Class: Riddikulus!
    Professor Lupin: And again!
    Class: Riddikulus!
    Malfoy: This class is ridiculous.

  • Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
    Professor McGonagall: Well, thank you for that assessment, Mr Weasley. Perhaps it would be more useful if I were to transfigure Mr Potter and yourself into a pocket watch. That way, one of you might be on time.

    Dumbledore: ...Hmm, alas, earwax.
