"So -- so -- they -- er -- they -- er -- they actually exist, do they -- er -- dementy-whatsits?"
"But what ARE dementoids?"
"These demembers guard some weirdos' prison?"
-that would be none other than Vernon Dursley in with the big picture on the Dementors of Azkaban, from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Year 5) by J.K. Rowling
"Harry descended the stairs, very conscious of everybody still staring at him, stowing his wand into the back pocket of his jeans as he came. 'Don't put your wand there, boy!' roared Moody. 'What if it ignited? Better wizards than you have lost a buttocks, you know!' 'Who d'you know who's lost a buttock?' the violet-haired woman asked Mad-Eye interestedly."
-from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Year 5) by J.K. Rowling
"Ah well ... wand still in your jeans? Both buttocks still on? Okay, let's go."

"'My mother didn't have a heart, Kreacher,' Sirius snapped. 'She kept herself alive out of pure spite.'"

"'I don't believe it! I don't believe it! Oh, Ron, how wonderful! A prefect! That's everyone in the family!' 'What are Fred and I, next-door neighbors?' said George indignantly as his mother pushed him aside and flung her arms around her youngest son."
-from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Year 5) by J.K. Rowling
"About You-Know-Who. He said, 'His gift for spreading discord and enmity is very great. We can fight it only by showing an equally strong bond of friendship and trust.'"

"'Fair point, little bro,' said Fred, scanning the column. 'You can have a bit of Nosebleed Nougat cheap if you like.' 'Why's it cheap?' said Ron suspiciously. 'Because you'll keep bleeding till you shrivel up, we haven't got an antidote yet,' said George."

"'Not messing about, Molly dear,' said Mr. Weasley imploringly. 'It was just -- just something Pye and I thought we'd try -- only, most unfortunate -- well, with these particular kinds of wounds -- it doesn't seem to work as well as we'd hoped --' 'Meaning?' 'Well ... well, I don't know whether you know what -- what stitches are?' 'It sounds as though you've been trying to sew your skin back together,' said Mrs. Weasley with that snort of mirthless laughter, 'but even you, Arthur, wouldn't be that stupid --' 'I fancy a cup of tea too,' said Harry, jumping to his feet. Hermione, Ron, and Ginny almost sprinted to the door with him. As it swung behind them, they heard Mrs. Weasley shriek, 'WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THAT'S THE GENERAL IDEA?'"
-from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Year 5) by J.K. Rowling
"'I'm not saying what she did was sensible,' said Hermione, as Ginny jointed them, just as muddy as Ron and looking equally disgruntled. 'I'm just trying to make you see how she was feeling at the moment.' 'You should write a book,' Ron told Hermione as he cut up his potatoes, 'translating mad things girls do so boys can understand them.'"
-from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Year 5) by J.K. Rowling
"The teachers were, of course, forbidden from mentioning the [Quibbler] interview by Educational Decree Number Twenty-six, but they found ways to express their feelings about it all the same. Professor Sprout awarded Gryffindor twenty points when Harry passed her a watering can; a beaming Professor Flitwick pressed a box of squeaking sugar mice on hil at the end of Charms, said 'Shh!' and hurried away; and Professor Trelawney broke into hysterical sobs during Divination and announced to the startled class, and a very disapproving Umbridge, that Harry was not going to suffer an early death after all, but would live to a ripe old age, become Minister of Magic, and have twelve children."
-from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Year 5) by J.K. Rowling
"'I cared about you too much,' said Dumbledore simply. 'I cared more for your happiness than your knowing the truth, more for you peace of mind than my plan, more for your life than the lives tha might be lost if the plan failed. In other words, I acted exactly as Voldemort expects we fools who love to act. Is there a defense? I defy anyone who has watched you as I have -- and I have watched you more closely than you can have imagined -- not want to save you more pain than you had already suffered. What did I care if numbers of nameless and faceless people and creatures were slaughtered in the vague future, if in the here and now you were alive, and well, and happy? I never dreamed that I would have such a person on my hands."
-from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Year 5) by J.K. Rowling
"'I don't mean to be rude --' he [Mr. Dursley] began, in a tone that threatened rudeness in every syllable.' '--yet, sadly, accidental rudeness occurs alarmingly often,' Dumbledore finished the sentence gravely. 'Best to say nothing at all, my dear man.'"
-from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Year 6) by J.K. Rowling
"'I would assume that you were going to offer me refreshment,' Dumbledore said to Uncle Vernon, 'but the evidence so far suggests that that would be optimistic to the point of foolishness.' A third twitch of the wand, and a dusty bottle and five glasses appeared in midair. The bottle tipped and poured a generous measure of honey-colored liquid into each of the glasses, which floated to each person in the room. 'Madam Rosmerta's finest oak-matured mead,' said Dumbeldore, raising his glass to Harry, who caught ahold of his and sipped. He had never tasted anything like it before, but enjoyed it immensely. The Dursleys, after quick, scared looks at one another, tried to ignore their glasses completely, a difficult feat, as they were nudging them gently on the sides of their heads. harry could not suppress a suspicion that Dumbledore was rather enjoying himself.'"
-from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Year 6) by J.K. Rowling
"'The Inferius is a corpse that has been reanimated by a Dark wizard's spells. It is not alive, it is merely used like a puppet to do the wizard's bidding. A ghost, as I trust you are all aware by now, is the imprint of a departed soul left on the earth ... and of course, as Potter so wisely tells us, transparent.' 'Well, what Harry said is the most useful if we're trying to tell them apart!' said Ron. 'When we come face-to-face with one down a dark alley, we're going to be having a shufti to see if it's solid, aren't we, were're not going to be asking, 'Excuse me, are you the imprint of a departed soul?'"
-from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Year 6) by J.K. Rowling
(A shufti, according to Yahoo, is British slang for "look" derived from Arabic.)
"Voldemort himself created his worst enemy, just as tyrants everywhere do! Have you any idea how much tyrants fear the people they oppress? All of them realize that, one day, amongst their many victims, there is sure to be one who rises against them and strikes back! Voldemort is no different! Always he was on the lookout for the one who would challenge him. He heard the prophecy and he leapt into action, with the result that he not only handpicked the man most likely to finish him, he handed him uniquely deadly weapons!"
-from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Year 6) by J.K. Rowling
"It gave him an odd, empty feeling to remember those times; it was like remembering a younger brother whom he had lost."
-from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Year 7) by J.K. Rowling
"'A Horcrux is the complete opposite of a human being.' Seeing that Harry and Ron looked thoroughly confused, Hermione hurried on. 'Look, if I picked up a sword right now, Ron, and ran you through with it, I wouldn't damage your soul at all. ' 'Which would be a real comfort to me, I'm sure,' said Ron. Harry laughed. 'It should be, actually! But my point is that whatever happens to your body, your soul will survive untouched,' said Hermione. 'But it's the other way round with a Horcrux. The fragment of a soul inside it depends on its container, its enchanted body for survival. It can't exist without it.'"

"Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

"'Sorry, I just think it's a bit spookier if it's midnight!' said Ron. 'Yeah, because we really need a bit more fear in our lives,' said Harry before he could stop himself."
-from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Year 7) by J.K. Rowling
"But it was as though a curtain fell on a lit stage: All his excitement, all his hope and happiness were extinguished at a stroke, and he stood alone in the darkness, and the glorious spell was broken."
-from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Year 7) by J.K. Rowling
"'Only the difference between truth and lies, courage and cowardice,' said Professor McGonagall, who had turned pale, 'a different, in short, which you and your sister seem unable to appreciate. But let me make one thing very clear. You are not going to pass off your many ineptitudes on the students of Hogwarts. I shall not permit it.'"
-from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Year 7) by J.K. Rowling
"Of course it's happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean it is not real?"

She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart
While I'm drinking Jack all alone in my local bar
And we don't know how we got into this mad situation
Only doing things out of frustration
Trying to make it work, but man, these times are hard
She needs me now, but I can't seem to find the time
I've got a new job now in the unemployment line
And we don't know how we got into this mess
It's a God's test
Someone help us cause we're doing our best
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
But we're gonna start by drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Shit-talking, up all night,
Saying things we haven't for awhile, awhile yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting
For the first time
-"For the First Time" by the Script
Your lipstick stains
On the front lobe of my left side brain
I knew I wouldn't forget you,
So then I went and let you blow my mind
Your sweet moonbeam
The smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided,
You're the one, I have decided,
Who's one of my kind
Hey soul sister,
Ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister,
I don't want to miss a single thing you do tonight
Hey, hey, hey,
Just in time, I'm so glad you have a one-track mind like me
You gave my life direction
A game show love connection
We can't deny
-"Hey, Soul Sister" by Train
