Quotes by J.K. Rowling

And don’t forget: Elvendork! It’s unisex!

Newt Scamander : My philosophy is that worrying means you suffer twice.

Anythings possible if youve got enough nerve!!!

Hermione was screaming again: the sound went through Harry like physical pain.

She picked up the book and then walked back past him into the tent, but as she did so, she brushed the top of his head lightly with her hand. He closed his eyes at her touch, and hated himself for wishing that what she said was true: that Dumbledore had really cared.

Hermione turned and beamed at Harry; her eyes, too, were full of tears.‘…then I declare you bonded for life.

Ma è commovente, Severus» osservò Silente, serio.«Ti sei affezionato al ragazzo, dopotutto?»«A lui?» Urlò Piton «Expecto Patronum!»Dalla punta della sua bacchetta affiorò la cerva dargento: atterrò sul pavimento dellufficio, fece un balzo e si tuffò fuori dalla finestra. Silente la guardò volar via e quando il suo bagliore argenteo svanì si rivolse a Piton, con gli occhi pieni di lacrime.«Dopo tutto questo tempo?»«Sempre» rispose Piton.

Its going to be all right, sir, Harry said over and over again, more worried by Dumbledores silence than he had been by his weakened voice. Were nearly there ... I can Apparate us both back ... dont worry ...I am not worried, Harry, said Dumbledore, his voice a little stronger despite the freezing water. I am with you.

A red-gold glow burst suddenly across the enchanted sky above them as an edge of dazzling sun appeared over the sill of the nearest window. The light hit both of their faces at the same time, so that Voldemorts was suddenly a flaming blur. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he too yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Dracos wand:Avada Kedavra!Expelliarmus!The bang was like a cannon blast, and the golden flames that erupted between them, at the dead center of the circle they had been treading, marked the point where the spells collided. Harry saw Voldemorts green jet meet his own spell, saw the Elder Wand fly high, dark against the sunrise, spinning across the enchanted ceiling, spinning through the air toward the master it would not kill, who had come to take full possession of it at last.

Youll stay with me?Until the very end, said James.

The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

Does it hurt? The childish question had escaped Harrys lips before he could stop it. Dying? Not at all, said Sirius. Quicker and easier than falling asleep.

Here lies Dobby, a free elf.

Would it hurt to die?

Killing is not so easy as the innocent believe.

Would you like me to [kill you] now? asked Snape, his voice heavy with irony. Or would you like a few moments to compose an epitaph?

Draco, do it, or stand aside so one of us - screeched the woman, but at that precise moment the door to the ramparts burst open once more and there stood Snape, his wand clutched in his hand as his black eyes swept the scene, from Dumbledore slumped against the wall, to the four Death Eaters, including the enraged werewolf, and Malfoy.Weve got a problem, Snape, said the lumpy Amycus, whose eyes and wand were fixed alike upon Dumbledore, the boy doesnt seem able -But somebody else had spoken Snapes name, quite softly.Severus ...The sound frightened Harry beyond anything he had experienced all evening. For the first time, Dumbledore was pleading.Snape said nothing, but walked forwards and pushed Malfoy roughly out of the way. The three Death Eaters fell back without a word. Even the werewolf seemed cowed.Snape gazed for a moment at Dumbledore, and there was revulsion and hatred etched in the harsh lines of his face.Severus ... please ...Snape raised his wand and pointed it directly at Dumbledore. Avada Kedavra!

Harry, you wonderful boy, you brave, brave man.

Snape raised his wand and pointed it directly at Dumbledore.

He felt his heart pounding fiercely in his chest. How strange that in his dread of death, it pumped all the harder, valiantly keeping him alive. But it would have to stop, and soon. Its beats were numbered. How many would there be time for, as he rose and walked through the castle for the last time, out into the grounds and into the forest?
