~*~ Meaningful Harry Potter Quotes ~*~ - Page 9

' "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death"...' A horrible thought came to him, and with it a kind of panic. 'Isn't that a Death Eater idea? Why is that there?'

'It doesn't mean defeating death in the way the Death Eaters mean it, Harry,' said Hermione, her voice gentle. 'It means...you know...living beyond death. Living after death.'

Now I want a sigg with that this!

'Honestly, if you were any slower, you'd be going backwards'. Draco to Harry in Goyle getup.

Am I meant to seek, but not to know? ---------- Harry to himself at shell cottage, after their return from Malfoy Manor.

hi i m new 2 this forum!! one is from GoF!!

its not really a quote its just an instance from goblet of fire just after harry's first task. Madam pomfrey just make a passing comment " last year dementors, this year dragon's , what next?" at first i don't gave a second thought on the dialogue but later on when i was going through this portion and i pondered deeply over this comment and thought madam pomfrey was right they did get something worse than dementors and dragons to endure in their fifth year - UMBRIDGE. Hats of to you J.k.Rowling for giving such a subtle clue about umbridge in fourth year only.LOL.

'Hermione!'
'Harry - you're a great wizard, you know.'
'I'm not as good as you,' said Harry, very embarrassed, as she let go of him.
'Me!' said Hermione. 'Books! And cleverness! There are more important things - friendship and bravery and - oh Harry - be careful!'

Harry= "And my mum was okay with that?"

"She didn't know too much about it, to tell you the truth," said Sirius. "I mean, James didn't take
Snape on dates with her and jinx him in front of her, did he?"

"- what with Dumbledore gone -" said Fred.

"- we reckon a bit of mayhem —" said George.

"— is exactly what our dear new Head deserves," said Fred.

"You mustn't!" whispered Hermione. "You really mustn't! She'd love a reason to expel you!"

"You don't get it, Hermione, do you?" said Fred, smiling at her. "We don't care about staying anymore. We'd walk out right now if we weren't determined to do our bit for Dumbledore first.

"I never really gave up on you," she said. "Not really. I always hoped… Hermione told me to get on with life, maybe go out with some other people, relax a bit around you, because I never used to be able to talk if you were in the room, remember? And she thought you might take a bit more notice if I was a bit more — myself."

"Smart girl, that Hermione," said Harry, trying to smile. "I just wish I'd asked you sooner. We could 've had ages… months… years maybe…"

"But you've been too busy saving the wizarding world," said Ginny, half-laughing. "Well… I can't say I'm surprised. I knew this would happen in the end. I knew you wouldn't be happy unless you were hunting Voldemort. Maybe that's why I like you so much."

'Last night ... I thought it was my dad who'd conjured my Patronus. I mean, when I saw myself across the lake ... I thought I was seeing him.'
'An easy mistake to make,' said Dumbledore softly. 'I expect you're tired of hearing it, but you do look extraordinarily like James. Except for your eyes ... you have your mother's eyes.'
Harry shook his head.
'It was stupid, thinking it was him,' he muttered. 'I mean, I knew he was dead.'
'You think the dead we have loved ever truly leave us? You think that we don't recall them more clearly than ever in times of great trouble? Your father is alive in you, Harry, and shows himself most plainly when you have need of him. How else could you have produced that particular Patronus? Prongs rode again last night.'
It took a moment for Harry to realize what Dumbledore had said,.
'Sirius told me all about how they became Animagi last night,' said Dumbledore, smiling. 'An extraordinary achievement - not least, keeping it quiet from me. And then I remembered the most unusual form your Patronus took, when it charged Mr Malfoy down at your Quidditch match against Ravenclaw. So you did see your father last night, Harry ... you found him inside yourself.'
And Dumbledore left the office, leaving Harry to his very confused thoughts.
