Remus Lupin. Professor Snape. Professor Moody. Draco Malfoy. Ginny Weasley. They can tear them apart. Arthur Weasley. Nymphadora Tonks. Snape must have been proud of being 'half a Prince,' you see? Tobias Snape was a Muggle from what it said in the Prophet. And even if Snape pretended it hadn't been his, Slughorn would have recognized his writing at once.
Anyway, the book was left in Snape's old classroom, and I'll bet Dumbledore knew his mother was called 'Prince.
I thought the Prince seemed to have a nasty sense of humor, but I would never have guessed he was a potential killer. Ron gaped at him, but Hermione said sadly, "I knew you were going to say that.
But then what will you do? We've had time, haven't we? You mean that you did magic without meaning to; you reacted instinctively. Don't let him inside your head too! But we're being realistic! It's possible. I think we'd better take it, to be safe. Even if we're not going back there, I don't think I'd feel right if I didn't have it with —".
That was decided months ago — years, really. That's to make it more difficult for Voldemort to track them down and interrogate them about me — or you, because unfortunately, I've told them quite a bit about you. Anyway, if he really didn't want anyone to get at them, I'm sure he would have made it much harder to —" 6. There's a footnote. Apparently the pain of it can destroy you. I can't see Voldemort attempting it somehow, can you? 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.
You had no right to do that! If these things are important enough to pass on right under the nose of the Ministry, you'd think he'd have let us know why. She was wearing a floaty, lilac-colored dress with matching high heels; her hair was sleek and shiny. She said, 'Oh dear, is this the Muggle-born? Oh well. It would never have occurred to him that they might have magic that he didn't.
What do wizard wars mean to an elf like Kreacher? He's loyal to people who are kind to him, and Mrs. Black must have been, and Regulus certainly was, so he served them willingly and parroted their beliefs. But they're probably watching to see whether we turn up. They know that Harry owns the house, after all. If I was going back to school it would be different. What's Voldemort planning for Hogwarts? How does she feel about you going away with us? If we're going to get into the Ministry and not give ourselves away when they're bound to be on the lookout for intruders, every little detail matters!
We've been over and over this, I mean, what's the point of all these reconnaissance trips if you aren't even bothering to tell us —" There are an awful lot of things that could go wrong, so much relies on chance.
Harry caught the fish and I did my best with it! I notice I'm always the one who ends up sorting out the food, because I'm a girl , I suppose! You wouldn't be talking like this if you hadn't been wearing it all day. Ron, we said we'd go with Harry, we said we'd help —" If it's a symbol of Dark Magic, what's it doing in a book of children's stories? After all our precautions, we'll leave prints! We'll just have to get rid of them — you go in front, I'll do it —" Living after death. I wanted to go too; I really thought Dumbledore might have left the sword there for you.
When he broke his wand, crashing the car? It was never the same again, he had to get a new one. But Harry, his mother had just died, he was stuck alone in the house —" It's as simple as that! Maybe he did believe these things when he was seventeen, but the whole of the rest of his life was devoted to fighting the Dark Arts!
Dumbledore was the one who stopped Grindelwald, the one who always voted for Muggle protection and Muggle-born rights, who fought You-Know— Who from the start, and who died trying to bring him down! But perhaps we ought to Disapparate under the Invisibility Cloak, just in case? Give it back now! And YOU! She was pointing at Ron in dire accusation: It was like a malediction, and Harry could not blame Ron for retreating several steps.
Meanwhile we went to Godric's Hollow and, let's think, what happened there, Harry? Oh yes, You-Know-Who's snake turned up, it nearly killed both of us, and then You-Know-Who himself arrived and missed us by about a second. That really puts our sufferings into perspective, doesn't it? Didn't you see anyone? And it led you to the sword! I can't believe this!
Then what happened? You were there for Christmas," said Hermione coldly. And for heaven's sake keep away from that horn. How can I possibly prove it doesn't exist? Do you expect me to get hold of — of all the pebbles in the world and test them? I mean, you could claim that anything's real if the only basis for believing in it is that nobody's proved it doesn't exist! This is the real thing, and Dumbledore left you very clear instructions: Find and destroy the Horcruxes!
We're the ones trying to do what Dumbledore wanted us to do! She had sat up straight, her eyes bright. And I'm hunted quite as much as any goblin or elf, Griphook! I'm a Mudblood! I've got no higher position under this new order than you have, Griphook! It was me they chose to torture, back at the Malfoys'! Are you saying there's a Horcrux in the Lestranges' vault? They've fought dirty too. Ask for his help, then double-cross him? And you wonder why goblins don't like wizards, Ron.
It feels all wrong, it doesn't work properly for me. It's like a bit of her. This is the wand that killed Sirius! Harry had not thought of that: He looked down at the wand and was visited by a brutal urge to snap it, to slice it in half with Gryffindor's sword, which was propped against the wall beside him. Ollivander could have made me another one too. We don't even know what we're looking for, we need them. There we were, after you left, and I said to Ron, even if we find the other one, how are we going to get rid of it?
We still hadn't got rid of the cup! And then he thought of it! The basilisk! Please — Ron — we need the snake, we've got to kill the snake! But let's not lose sight now of what we're supposed to be d-doing! We're the only ones who can end it! Yes, boy, your parents were brave. I killed your father first, and he put up a courageous fight. Now give me the Stone, unless you want her to have died in vain.
I can take you inside my memory of the night when I caught him. The least Hogwarts can do is make sure that the thing that killed their daughter is slaughtered. I, keep the name of a foul, common Muggle, who abandoned me even before I was born, just because he found out his wife was a witch? No, Harry — I fashioned myself a new name, a name I knew wizards everywhere would one day fear to speak, when I had become the greatest sorcerer in the world! But look, Harry! My true family returns.
Yet you answer my call as though it were yesterday. We are still united under the Dark Mark, then! Or are we? One might go so far as to call him my guest of honor. Harry Potter escaped me by a lucky chance. And I am now going to prove my power by killing him, here and now, in front of you all, when there is no Dumbledore to help him, and no mother to die for him. I will give him his chance. He will be allowed to fight, and you will be left in no doubt which of us is the stronger.
You think you have felt pain thus far? Think again. We have hours ahead of us and nobody to hear you scream. I see the truth looking at me from within his worthless mind. Months of preparation, months of effort. Do you think I have entered the Ministry of Magic to hear your sniveling apologies? He looked wary. What are you here for? Did she get you in to have a look at me? A flush of excitement was rising up his neck into his hollow cheeks; he looked fevered.
I can make animals do what I want them to do, without training them. I can make bad things happen to people who annoy me. I can make them hurt if I want to. How do you get to this Diagon Alley — sir? I have come to you to ask that you permit me to return to this castle, to teach. I think you must know that I have seen and done much since I left this place.
I could show and tell your students things they can gain from no other wizard. You must know this, Dumbledore. Will you let me share my knowledge with your students?
I place myself and my talents at your disposal. I am yours to command. Can you only split your soul once? Scrimgeour must be surrounded by our people before I act. Easier to take, by far. But I know better now. I understand those things that I did not understand before. I must be the one to kill Harry Potter, and I shall be.
I shall need, for instance, to borrow a wand from one of you before I go to kill Potter. But I have noticed that you and your family seem less than happy of late. What is it about my presence in your home that displeases you, Lucius? Is my return, my rise to power, not the very thing they professed to desire for so many years?
Professor Burbage taught the children of witches and wizards all about Muggles. Lord Voldemort is not sure that he will forgive this time. You called me back for this, to tell me that Harry Potter has escaped again? Draco, give Rowle another taste of our displeasure. Do it, or feel my wrath yourself! What impostors? I thought Gringotts had ways of revealing impostors? Who were they? Give me Harry Potter, and I shall leave the school untouched.
Give me Harry Potter, and you will be rewarded. We are almost there. I am extraordinary, but this wand. It has not revealed the wonders it has promised.
I feel no difference between this wand and the one I procured from Ollivander all those years ago. Do you know why I have called you back from the battle? Twice it failed.
I took it from its previous master. I took it from the grave of Albus Dumbledore. The Elder Wand belongs to the wizard who killed its last owner. You killed Albus Dumbledore. While you live, Severus, the Elder Wand cannot be truly mine.
Master the wand, and I master Potter at last. Lord Voldemort knows how to value bravery. If you continue to resist me, you will all die, one by one. I do not wish this to happen.
Every drop of magical blood spilled is a loss and a waste. I command my forces to retreat immediately. Dispose of your dead with dignity. Treat your injured.
You have permitted your friends to die for you rather than face me yourself. I shall wait for one hour in the Forbidden Forest. If, at the end of that hour. This time, I shall enter the fray myself, Harry Potter, and I shall find you, and I shall punish every last man, woman, and child who has tried to conceal you from me. One hour. His voice might have been part of the spitting fire. Is he dead? Who shall drag the body? Pick up your little friend, Hagrid.
He was killed as he ran away, trying to save himself while you lay down your lives for him. We bring you his body as proof that your hero is gone. You have lost half of your fighters. There must be no more war.
Anyone who continues to resist, man, woman, or child, will be slaughtered, as will every member of their family. Come out of the castle now, kneel before me, and you shall be spared. Your parents and children, your brothers and sisters will live and be forgiven, and you will join me in the new world we shall build together.
Set him down, Hagrid, at my feet, where he belongs! Do you understand now, deluded ones? He was nothing, ever, but a boy who relied on others to sacrifice themselves for him! You will make a very valuable Death Eater. We need your kind, Neville Longbottom. The emblem, shield, and colors of my noble ancestor, Salazar Slytherin, will suffice for everyone. Who are you going to use as a shield today, Potter?
Love, which did not prevent me stamping out your Mudblood mother like a cockroach, Potter — and nobody seems to love you enough to run forward this time and take my curse. So what will stop you dying now when I strike? Its power is mine! And of course he uses the Department of Mysteries to develop terrible poisons, which he feeds secretly to anybody who disagrees with him.
He jumped out from under it. It was just that I wanted to pack tonight. She was a quite extraordinary witch, you know, but she did like to experiment and one of her spells went rather badly wrong one day. I was nine. It always does in the end. Well, have a nice holiday, Harry. I noticed that last year. Is that why you dyed your eyebrow, for the party? Should I do mine too? Everybody looked at her. It will probably have re-formed by now, they mend themselves, you know.
It was on their news. I heard it. Flocks of owls. They were bound to notice something. He He never had much sense. These people will never understand him! We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July The Sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your House will be something like your family within Hogwarts. Each House has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. Filch says you were up in the Astronomy Tower. Explain yourselves. Four students out of bed in one night! You, Miss Granger, I thought you had more sense.
As for you, Mr. Potter, I thought Gryffindor meant more to you than this. All three of you will receive detentions — yes, you too, Mr. And no magic, Weasley — elbow grease. And you, Potter, will be helping Professor Lockhart answer his fan mail. I see no reason to stop the boy playing Quidditch. There is no evidence at all that Potter has done anything wrong. It was on the floor next to them. The exams will therefore take place as usual, and I trust you are all studying hard.
Tonight, we will be able to revive those people who have been Petrified. I need hardly remind you all that one of them may well be able to tell us who, or what, attacked them. I am hopeful that this dreadful year will end with our catching the culprit. Of course, I realize this has all been hardest on the friends of those who have been. I quite understand.
Yes, Potter, of course you may visit Miss Granger. Tell Madam Pomfrey I have given my permission. There is no need to say any more, Miss Granger.
Tell me, which of you will be dying this year? None of them has died yet. Seeing death omens is her favorite way of greeting a new class. If it were not for the fact that I never speak ill of my colleagues. I shall not conceal from you that I have very little patience with it. True Seers are very rare, and Professor Trelawney. I assure you that if you die, you need not hand it in. Ringleaders of their little gang. A low and cowardly at— tempt to sabotage the Gryffindor Seeker! However, he finds comfort in the words of Luna, who despite having lost her mother at such a young age, maintains this positive outlook on life.
This line also seems to foreshadow the Deathly Hallows scene when Harry is able to see and speak to Sirius again by using the resurrection stone. His plea prompts this touching display of faith. This moment — which takes place shortly before Dumbledore is killed by Severus Snape — exemplifies the strong father-son bond that has formed over the years between the two.
Context: The line inseparable from an unforgettable ending. Plus, devoted Harry Potter fans: Mark your calendars! The annual Harry Potter Book Night, which started in , is on February 7th, and readers everywhere are encouraged to continue reading aloud and passing on the magic of J. Rowling's tales to a generation of younger readers. The quote quiz below is a simple reminder of the extraordinary magic of the books and fantastic characters, and a great jumping off point for finding the perfect Harry Potter read-aloud to celebrate the night!
