Hi friends, find below my favourite Harry Potter quotes of all time. They’re inspiring, thought provoking, and if you’re a big Harry Potter fan, nostalgic! Enjoy guys and comment your favourite quote below.
“But you know, happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” – Albus Dumbledore
I loved this scene, the way Dumbledore brings light to the candle with his hand. Again, a really deep, meaningful sentence. As tough as times may seem there’s always something to smile about or at least appreciate. You just have to open your eyes a little wider and you’ll find see it
“Time will not slow down when something unpleasant lies ahead,” JK Rowling as the narrator
No use procrastinating when you’re intimidated by a task. Grab it by the horns! Time will continue and we’ll be left behind if we don’t keep moving.
“Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open,”-Albus Dumbledore
When we have a common goal and openness it doesn’t matter what colour our skin is, or the language that we speak, nothing really matters besides achieving something greater than us.
“We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.” – Sirius Black
One of my favourite characters in Harry Potter is Sirius Black because of how complex he really is. He’s introduced into Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban as a “bad” character but later on we realise he’s one of the good guys trying to guide and protect Harry. Every one needs a Sirius in their life.
“Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it.” – Albus Dumbledore
Sometimes words hurt more than a slap to the face, especially when said by the ones dearest to us. At the same time, words can inspire us and give us hope even in the hardest of times.
“If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals,”-Sirius Black in The Goblet of Fire
The way we treat people who can’t give us anything is proof off our character. It’s a powerful quote which reflects the society we live in currently, where ulterior motives govern actions.
“Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect.” Luna Lovegood
Comment below if Luna Lovegood was one of your favourite characters. I always found her so mysterious and relatable because she was always being herself. But what does the part “if not always in the way we expect” mean? Well, a good example is you may lose a friendship that is important to you but regain the same or an even better bond with another person. Hence it didn’t come back in the obvious way you expected but nevertheless what you lost (the love and bond) did.
“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live,” – Albus Dumbledore
Dreams are just plans we haven’t put into action. When we choose to “live” our dreams become a reality and we no longer need to daydream about our future.
“It is the quality of one’s convictions that determines success, not the number of followers.” -Remus Lupin
Just because more people agree with you doesn’t mean you’re right. Hitler had an enormous amount of followers but he was one of the worst people in history. As long as you’re determined in what you do you’ll surely succeed.
“Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike.” – Albus Dumbledore
Feeling ignored or unloved by the ones we care about the most is more painful than them admitting that they don’t care at all. Don’t take the people you love for granted.
“What’s life without a little risk?” —Sirius Black
Answer: BORINGGG. Risks keep us alive, keep us excited. As long as you’re not hurting another person emotionally, mentally, physically or in any way then take those risks.
“Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love,” – Albus Dumbledore
Love is the most powerful feeling, it can be the catalyst for greatness and is only given a bad name when confused with lust. To live without love means to live without having ever having experienced life.
“It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more,” – Albus Dumbledore
Not knowing what lies ahead is scarier than knowing Bigfoot is coming because with the latter you can prepare. No living person knows what death feels like and nobody knows what’s in the darkness unless they walk straight into it (with a torch).
“Just because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn’t mean we all have,” – Hermione Granger
I love Spicy Hermione! Nothing deep to say about this, some people just think and feel more than others.
“Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself,”- Hermione Granger
This is a quote I love in the context of the movie. Hemline clearly doesn’t agree that Voldemort shouldn’t be named because that only builds the power that he has over others even when he’s not in their presence.
“Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean it is not real?” – Albus Dumbledore
Definitely in my top 5 favourite Harry Potter quotes everrr. It’s so powerful and can be interpreted in many ways. I wanna leave this one up to your own interpretation, comment below what you make of it.
“What’s comin’ will come, an’ we’ll meet it when it does.” – Hagrid
Ahh! I love Hagrid’s entire outlook on life. Plain an simple: face your fears! We can’t run forever from the things that scare us. Sometimes we have to stare it right in the face and smile.
“To have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever.” – Albus Dumbledore
This is in reference to Harry because throughout all the movies he is reminded that the love of his mother has kept him protected. Power of a mother’s love.
“Always.” – Severus Snape in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
No other scene in all 8 Harry Potter movies has given me goosebumps like this one. When Dumbledore asks Snape if he still loves Lily Potter (Harry’s mother) “after all this time”, he replies with “Always.” One word that holds an enormous amount of power and proves that love is in the action, exactly the way Snape showed his love for Lily.
