Today is not only Harry’s birthday, but also the publication date of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. To celebrate Harry’s birthday, I thought it would be fun if I shared some of my favorite quotes from the series, both books and movies.
“This is the best house I’ve ever been in.”
“I will only truly have left this school when none here are loyal to me … Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.”
“It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”
“I don’t go looking for trouble. Trouble usually finds me.”
“The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure.”
“Wit beyond measure is man’s greatest treasure.”
“You’re just as sane as I am.”
“I don’t think you’re a waste of space…You saved my life.”
“After all this time?”
“Always,” said Snape.”
“Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love.”
“So it all comes down to this, doesn’t it? Does the wand in your hand know its last master was Disarmed? Because if it does … I am the true master of the Elder Wand.”
“That wand’s more trouble than it’s worth. And quite honestly, I’ve had enough trouble for a life time.”
“Albus Severus, you were named for two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was probably the bravest man I ever knew.”
“The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well.”
“I’m not going home… not really.”
“Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself.”
“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light.”
“I don’t care. Anywhere is better than here.”
“I didn’t put my name in that cup… I don’t want eternal glory. I just want to be…”
“First we need to find a place to practice where Umbridge won’t find out.”
“That even though we got a fight ahead of us, we’ve got one thing that Voldemort doesn’t have.”
“But I am the Chosen One.”
“Look at me. You have your mother’s eyes.”
