Goblet of Fire

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling

- “If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.” 

- “It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.” 

- “Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory.” 

- “Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it.” 

- “We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.” 

- “Percy wouldn't notice a joke if it danced naked in front of him wearing one of Dobby's hats.” 

- “Don't talk to me."

"Why not?"

"Because I want to fix that in my memory for ever. Draco Malfoy, the amazing bouncing ferret...” 

- “It is my belief... that the truth is generally preferable to lies.” 

- “Understanding is the first step to acceptance, and only with acceptance can there be recovery.” 

- “Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.” 

- “Well, I certainly don't," said Percy sanctimoniously. "I shudder to think what the state of my in-tray would be if I was away from work for five days." 

"Yeah, someone might slip dragon dung in it again, eh, Perce?" said Fred. 

"That was a sample of fertilizer from Norway!" said Percy, going very red in the face. "It was nothing personal!" 

"It was," Fred whispered to Harry as they got up from the table. "We sent it.” 

- “Time will not slow down when something unpleasant lies ahead.” 

- “Who're you going with, then?" said Ron.

"Angelina," said Fred promptly, without a trace of embarrassment.

"What?" said Ron, taken aback. "You've already asked her?"

"Good point," said Fred. He turned his head and called across the common room, "Oi! Angelina!"

Angelina, who had been chatting with Alicia Spinnet near the fire, looked over at him.

"What?" She called back.

"Want to come to the ball with me?"

Angelina gave Fred a sort of appraising look.

"All right, then," she said, and she turned back to Alicia and carried on chatting with a bit of a grin on her face.

"There you go," said Fred to Harry and Ron, "piece of cake.” 

- “What would come, would come...and you would have to meet it, when it did.”

- “Anyone can speak Troll. All you have to do is point and grunt.”

- “It is a strange thing, but when you are dreading something, and would give anything to slow down time, it has a disobliging habit of speeding up.” 

- “Just then Neville caused a slight diversion by turning into a large canary.”

- “[about his dress robes...]

I’m never wearing them," Ron was saying stubbornly. "Never."

"Fine," snapped Mrs. Weasley. "Go naked. And, Harry, make sure you get a picture of him. Goodness knows I could do with a laugh.” 

- “Just because it’s taken you three years to notice, Ron, doesn't mean no one else has spotted I'm a girl!” 

- “I took a wrong turn on the way to the bathroom and found myself in a beautifully proportioned room I had never seen before, containing a really rather magnificent collection of chamberpots. When I went back to investigate more closely, I discovered that the room had vanished. But I must keep an eye out for it. Possibly it is only accessible at five thirty in the morning. Or it may only appear at the quarter moon - or when the seeker has an exceptionally full bladder.” 

- “Constant vigilance!”

- “Twitchy little ferret, aren't you, Malfoy?” 

- “Curiosity is not a sin.... But we should exercise caution with our curiosity... yes, indeed.” 

- “By Gryffindor, the bravest were

Prized far beyond the rest;

For Ravenclaw, the cleverest

Would always be the best;

For Hufflepuff, hard workers were

Most worthy of admission;

And power-hungry Slytherin

Loved those of great ambition.” 

- “Well, I can certainly see why we're trying to keep them alive. Who wouldn't want pets that can burn, sting, and bite all at once?” 

- “Can I have a look at Uranus too, Lavender?” 

- “I love magic!” 

- “I thought it sounded a bit like Percy singing... maybe you've got to attack him while he's in the shower, Harry.” 

- “I have gone temporarily deaf and haven't any idea what you said, Harry.” 

- “Ron's indignation on his behalf was worth about a hundred points to him.”
