She knows more about you than you do! Harry: Who doesn't? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr. Ollivander: Curious... very curious... Harry: Excuse me, sir, but what's curious? Mr. Ollivander: I remember every wand I've ever sold, Mr. Potter. The phoenix whose tailfeather resides in your wand gave another feather... just one other. It is curious that you should be destined for this wand... when its brother gave you that scar. Harry: [puts a hand to his forehead] And who did that wand belong to? Mr. Ollivander: Oh, we do not speak his name! The wand chooses the wizard, Mr. Potter. It's not always clear why. But I think it is clear that we can expect great things from you, Mr. Potter. After all, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named did great things. Terrible! Yes. But great. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dumbledore: Dear Mr. Potter, we are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Soon, you and your schoolmates will join us here, and your education in the magical arts will begin. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hermione: Now, if you two don't mind, I'm going to bed before either of you come up with another clever idea to get us killed. Or worse, expelled. Ron: She needs to sort out her priorities. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Talking about Fluffy] Hagrid: I lent him to Dumbledore to guard the... Harry: Yes? Hagrid: I shouldn't have told you that. No more questions, don't ask anymore questions! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hagrid: [explaining how to get past Fluffy] You just play a bit of music and he'll fall right to sleep... I shouldn't have told you that! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [in the Devil's Snare] Hermione: Stop moving, both of you. This is devil's snare! You have to relax. If you don't, it'll only kill you faster! Ron: Kill us faster? Oh, now I can relax! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hermione: [after Hermione and Harry sink in the Devil's Snare, Ron is still panicking] He's not relaxing, is he? Harry: Apparently not. Hermione: I remember reading about this in herbology... Devil's Snare, Devil's Snare...It's deadly fun, but will sulk in the sun. That's it! Devil's Snare hates sunlight! Lumos Soleil! [she exerts a type of sunlight from her wand. Ron falls to the ground below] Ron: [sigh] Lucky we didn't panic. Harry: Lucky Hermione pays attention in herbology. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hagrid: You're a wizard, Harry! Harry: I'm a what? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hermione: Harry, no way! You heard what Madame Hooch said, besides, you don't even know how to fly! [Harry ignores Hermione, giving Malfoy an evil look, he flies up. The class stare up at him] Hermione: What an idiot! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Draco Malfoy: [picks up Neville's Rememberall] Did you see his face? Maybe if that fat lump had given this a squeeze, he'd have remembered to fall on his fat ass. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hermione: You'll be okay, Harry. You're a great wizard. You really are. Harry: Not as good as you. Hermione: Me? Books and cleverness. There are more important things: friendship and bravery. And Harry, just be careful. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hermione: Ron, you don't suppose this is going to be like . . real wizard's chess, do you? [one of the giant white pawns crosses the board, and smashes the black pawn with a violent blow] Ron: Yes, Hermione, I think this is going to be exactly like wizard's chess. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Draco Malfoy: Think my name's funny, do you? No need to ask you yours. Red hair... and a hand-me-down robe... you must be a Weasley. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dumbledore: What happened in the dungeon between you and Professor Quirrell is a complete secret, so naturally, the whole school knows. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [about Every Flavor Beans] Dumbledore: I was unfortunate enough in my youth to come across a vomit-flavored one, and since then I'm afraid I've rather lost my liking for them. But, I think I could be safe with a nice toffee. [eats it] Dumbledore: ...Ah, alas, earwax. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ron: Wingardium leviosa! Hermione: Stop, stop stop! You're going to take someone's eye out. Besides, you're saying it wrong. It's Levi-o-sa, not Levio-sar -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hermione: I'm really sorry about this, Neville.

You first. George Weasley: He's not Fred, I am! Fred Weasley: Honestly, woman. And you call yourself our mother... Molly Weasley: [to Fred] Oh, I'm sorry, George. [Fred approaches the barrier with his trolley] Fred Weasley: Only kidding, I am Fred! [he runs through the barrier to the platform] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hermione: Look at you playing with your cards. Pathetic! We've got final exams coming up soon. Ron: I'm ready! Ask me any questions. Hermione: All right, what's the three most crucial ingredients in a Forgetfulness Potion? Ron: I forgot. Hermione: And what may I ask do you plan to do if this comes up in the final exam? Ron: Copy off you? Hermione: No, you won't! Besides, according to Professor McGonagall, we're to be given special quills bewitched with an anti-cheating spell. Ron: That's insulting! It's as if they don't trust us! HP2： Memorable Quotes from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) Ron: Why spiders? Why couldn't it be follow the butterflies? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lucius Malfoy: Your scar is legend. As of course, is the wizard who gave it to you. Harry: Voldemort killed my parents, he was nothing more than a murderer. Lucius Malfoy: Hmm, you must be very brave to mention his name... or very foolish. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ron: They were starving him, Mum. There were bars on his window. Mrs. Weasley: You'd best hope I don't put bars on your window, Ronald Weasley. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Draco Malfoy: Why are you wearing glasses?

This is just like magic. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harry: [to Dobby] Never try to save my life again. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ron: Follow the spiders. Follow the spiders.

Seamus Finnigan: No, ma'am, he's fainted. Prof. Sprout: [pauses and sighs] Yes, well, just leave him there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gilderoy Lockhart: Hello. Who are you? Ron: Ron Weasley. Gilderoy Lockhart: Really? And, er, who am I? Ron: [to Harry] Lockhart's Memory Charm backfired. He hasn't got a clue who he is. Gilderoy Lockhart: [picks up a rock] It's an odd sort of place, isn't it? Do you live here? Ron: [takes rock from Lockhart] No. Gilderoy Lockhart: Are you sure? [Ron hits Lockhart on the head with the rock, knocking him out] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Moaning Myrtle: Oh, Harry? If you die down there, you're welcome to share my toilet. Harry: Uh... thanks, Myrtle. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oliver Wood: I don't believe it! Where do you think you're going, Flint?

Oliver Wood: I, Professor Severus Snape do hereby give the Slytherin team permission to practice today, owing to the need to train their new Seeker. You've got a new seeker? Who? [Malfoy steps out from behind the crowd] Harry Potter: Malfoy? Draco Malfoy: Thats right. And that's not all that's new this year. [Shows everyone the new brooms] Ron: Those are Nimbus Two-Thousand and Ones! How'd you get those? Marcus Flint: A gift from Draco's father. Draco Malfoy: You see, Weasley, unlike some, my father can afford the best. Hermione Granger: At least no one on the Gryffindor team had to buy their way in. They got in on pure talent. Draco Malfoy: No one asked your opinion you filthy little Mudblood! Ron: You'll pay for that one Malfoy! Eat slugs! [Ron's spell backfires, causing him to spit up slugs] Colin Creevey: Can you turn him around Harry? Harry Potter: No Colin! Get out of the way! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Neville Longbottom: Why is it always me? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Uncle Vernon: And Dudley, you will be?

Who was Ron trying to curse anyway? Harry: Malfoy. He called Hermione a... well, I'm not sure what it means. Hermione: [on the verge of tears] He called me a Mudblood. Hagrid: [gasps] He did not. Harry: What's a Mudblood? Hermione: It means dirty blood. Mudblood's a really foul name for someone with non magic parents. Someone like me. Hagrid: You see Harry, there are some people, like the Malfoys, who think they're better than everyone else because they're what's called pure blood. Harry: That's horrible. Ron: [more slugs] It's disgusting. Hagrid: And it's codswallop to boot. Why there isn't a wizard alive who isn't half blood or less, and moreover they've yet to think of a spell that our Hermione can't do. [takes her hand] Hagrid: Don't you think on it Hermione. Don't you think on it one moment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [first lines] [Hedwig wants to be let out of her cage] Harry: I can't let you out, Hedwig! I'm not allowed to use magic outside of school. Besides, if Uncle Vernon... Uncle Vernon: [yells] Harry Potter! Harry: Now you've done it.

Harry: ... and request that he keep his abnormally large nose out of other people's business. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hermione: Is that really what my hair looks like from the back? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ron: I'm warning you Hermione! Keep that bloody beast of yours away from Scabbers or I'll turn it into a tea cozy! Hermione: It's a cat, Ronald! What do you expect? It's in his nature. Ron: A cat? Is that what they told you? It looks more like a pig with hair if you ask me. Hermione: That's rich! Coming from the owner of that smelly old shoe brush. It's all right, Crookshanks, just ignore the mean little boy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ron: [sitting bolt upright in bed] Spiders... the spiders... they want me to tap-dance.

Do you want to move a bit closer? Ron: Huh? Hermione: To the Shrieking Shack. Ron: Oh, no. I'm fine here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harry: What's the holdup? Ron: Probably Neville's forgotten the password again. Neville Longbottom: [behind them] Hey! Ron: Oh... HP4： Professor Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody: The Goblet of Fire is an exceptionally powerful magical object. Only an exceptionally powerful Confundus charm could have hoodwinked it! Magic way beyond the talents of a fourth year. Igor Karkaroff: You seem to have given this a fair bit of thought, Mad-Eye! Professor Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody: Well, it was once my job to think as Dark Wizards do, Karkaroff. Perhaps you remember. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hermione: [to Ron] I won't be going alone because, believe it or not, someone's asked me. [gets up and hands her book to Snape, then turns back to Ron] Hermione: And I said *yes*! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Voldemort: Kill the spare. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Weasley: Do you think we'll ever have a quiet year at Hogwarts?

Harry: What happened? Ginny: He just asked Fleur Delacour to the ball. Ron Weasley: She was just walking past, you know how I love it when they walk, and it just sort of slipped out. Ginny: Actually he sort of screamed at her. It was a bit frightening. Harry: What did she say? No? [pause] Harry: She said yes? Ron Weasley: Don't be silly Harry: What did you do next? Ron Weasley: What else? I ran for it! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Voldemort: Harry! I'd almost forgotten you were here, standing on the bones of my father. I'd introduce you, but rumor has it you're almost as famous as me these days. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Neville Longbottom: Amazing! Amazing! Harry: Neville, you're doing it again. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cedric Diggory: How are you? Harry: Spectacular. ------------------------------------
