question

answer
JK Rowling

answer
Dumbledore to Harry, SS

answer
Dumbledore to Harry, SS
question
"The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution."
answer
Dumbledore to Harry, SS
question
"Your mother died to save you. If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love. He didn't realize that love as powerful as your mother's for you leaves its own mark. Not a scar, no visible sign... to have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever. It is in your very skin."
answer
Dumbledore to Harry, SS
question
"Call him Voldemort, Harry. Always use the proper name for things. Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself."
answer
Dumbledore to Harry, SS
question
"To one as young as you, I'm sure it seems incredible, but to Nicholas and Perenelle, it really is like going to bed after a very, very long day. After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure. You know the Stone was really not such a wonderful thing. As much money and life as you could want! The two things human beings would choose above all—the trouble is, humans do have a knack of choosing those things that are worst for them."
answer
Dumbledore to Harry, SS
question
"It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends. I therefore award ten points to Mr. Neville Longbottom."

answer
Lucius Malfoy to Arthur Weasley, CoS
question

answer
Ron to Hermione (and Harry, kinda) at Hagrid's after "eat slugs", CoS

answer
Hermione to Harry and Ron, CoS
question

question
"I can see now... there is nothing special about you, after all. I wondered, you see. There are strange likenesses between us after all."
answer
Tom Riddle to Harry, CoS
question
"Because there are strange likenesses between us, Harry Potter. Even you must have noticed. Both half-bloods, orphans, raised by Muggles. Probably the only two Parselmouths to come to Hogwarts since the great Slytherin himself. We even look something alike.... But after all, it was merely a lucky chance that saved you from me. That's all I wanted to know."
answer
Tom Riddle to Harry, CoS
question
"If I say it myself, Harry, I've always been able to charm he people I needed."
answer
Tom Riddle to Harry, CoS
question
"I grew stronger and stronger on a diet of her deepest fears, her darkest secrets. I grew powerful, far more powerful than little Miss Weasley. Powerful enough to start feeding Miss Weasley a few of my secrets, to start pouring a little of my soul back into her..."
answer
Tom Riddle to Harry, CoS
question
"You think I was going to use my filthy Muggle father's name forever? I, in whose veins runs the blood of Salzar Slytherin himself, through my mother's side? I, keep the name of a foul, common Muggle, who abandoned me even before I was born, just because he found out his wife was a witch? No Harry—I fashioned myself a new name, a name I knew wizards everywhere would one day fear to speak, when I had become the greatest sorcerer in the world!"
answer
Tom Riddle to Harry, CoS
question
"How is it that you - a skinny boy with no extraordinary magical talent - managed to escape the greatest wizard of all time? How did you escape with nothing but a scar while Lord Voldemort's powers were destroyed?"
answer

question

answer

question

answer
Tom Riddle to Harry, CoS
question
"It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."
answer
Dumbledore to Harry, CoS
question
"Unless I'm much mistaken, he transferred some of his own powers to you the night he gave you that scar. Not something he intended to do, I'm sure...."
answer
Dumbledore to Harry, CoS
question

answer
Dumbledore to Harry, CoS
question

question

question

answer
George Weasley to the Marauder's Map, PoA

answer
Hagrid to Hermione (and Harry and Ron), PoA
question
"Harry please," said Hermione, her eyes now shining with tears, "please be sensible. "Black did a terrible, terrible thing, but d-don't put yourself in danger, it's what Black wants...Oh, Harry, you'd be playing right into Black's hands if you went looking for him. Your mum and dad wouldn't want you to get hurt, would they? They'd never want you looking for Black!"
answer
Hermione to Harry, PoA
question
"Oh no, ... Much worse than that. You can exist without your soul, you know, as long as your brain and heart are still working. But you'll have no sense of self anymore, no memory, no ... anything.

answer
Lupin to Harry, PoA
question
Fred and George disappeared for a couple of hours and returned with armfuls of bottles of butterbeer, pumpkin fizz, and several bags full of Honeydukes sweets.

"With a little help from Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs," Fred muttered in Harry's ear.
answer
Fred Weasley to Harry, PoA
question
"Gawd knows yeh've had enough ter be gettin' on with. I've seen yeh practicin' Qudditch ev'ry hour o' the day an' night- but I gotta tell yeh, I thought you two'd value yer friend more'n broomsticks or rats. That's all."
answer
Hagrid to Harry and Ron, PoA
question
"Mr. Moony presents his compliments to Professor Snape, and begs him to keep his abnormally large nose out of other people's business. Mr. Prongs agrees with Mr. Moony, and would like to add that Professor Snape is an ugly git. Mr. Padfoot would like to register his astonishment that an idiot like that ever became a professor. Mr. Wormtail bids Professor Snape good day, and advises him to wash his hair, the slimeball."
answer
Marauders to Snape, PoA
question
"I want to commit the murder that I was imprisoned for...."

answer
Snape to Harry, PoA
question
"Sirius is locked in Professor Flitwick's office on the seventh floor. Thirteenth window from the right of the West Tower.

You - must - not - be - seen."

answer
Dumbledore to Harry, PoA
question
"Pettigrew owes his life to you. You have sent Voldemort a deputy who is in your debt. "When one wizard saves another wizard's life, it creates a bond between them and I'm much mistaken if Voldemort wants his servant in the debt of Harry Potter...This is magic at its deepest, its most impenetrable, Harry. But trust me the time may come when you will be very glad you saved Pettigrew's life."

question

answer
Dumbledore to Harry, PoA
question
"You think the dead we loved ever truly leave us? You think we don't recall them more clearly than ever in times of great trouble? Your father is alive in you, Harry, and shows himself plainly when you have need of him. How else could you produce that particular Patronus? Prongs rode again last night."
answer
Dumbledore to Harry, PoA
question
"This time tomorrow, the owls will start arriving from parents. . .They will not want a werewolf teaching their children, Harry. And after last night I see their point. . .I could have bitten any of you. That must not happen again"
