Deathly Hallows

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling

- “Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?”

- “Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love.” 

- “Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears.

"After all this time?"

"Always," said Snape.” 

- “We're all human, aren't we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving.” 

- “He can run faster than Severus Snape confronted with shampoo.” 

- “Death's got an Invisibility Cloak?" Harry interrupted again.

"So he can sneak up on people," said Ron. "Sometimes he gets bored of running at them, flapping his arms and shrieking...” 

- “Not my daughter, you bitch!” 

- “Why are they all staring?" demanded Albus as he and Rose craned around to look at the other students.

"Don’t let it worry you," said Ron. "It’s me. I’m extremely famous.” 

- “Cinderella? Snow White? What's that? An illness?” 

- “Albus Severus," Harry said quietly, so that nobody but Ginny could hear, and she was tactful enough to pretend to be waving to Rose, who was now on the train, "you were named for two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was probably the bravest man I ever knew.” 

- “Holey? You have the the whole world of ear-related humor before you, you go for holey?”

- “There was a clatter as the basilisk fangs cascaded out of Hermione's arms. Running at Ron, she flung them around his neck and kissed him full on the mouth. Ron threw away the fangs and broomstick he was holding and responded with such enthusiasm that he lifted Hermione off her feet. 

"Is this the moment?" Harry asked weakly, and when nothing happened except that Ron and Hermione gripped each other still more firmly and swayed on the spot, he raised his voice. "OI! There's a war going on here!" 

Ron and Hermione broke apart, their arms still around each other. 

"I know, mate," said Ron, who looked as though he had recently been hit on the back of the head with a Bludger, "so it's now or never, isn't it?" 

"Never mind that, what about the Horcrux?" Harry shouted. "D'you think you could just --- just hold it in, until we've got the diadem?" 

"Yeah --- right --- sorry ---" said Ron, and he and Hermione set about gathering up fangs, both pink in the face.” 

- “How do you feel, Georgie?" whispered Mrs. Weasley.

George's fingers groped for the side of his head.

"Saintlike," he murmured.

"What's wrong with him?" croaked Fred, looking terrified. "Is his mind affected?"

"Saintlike," repeated George, opening his eyes and looking up at his brother. "You see...I'm HOLEY, Fred, geddit?” 

- “He must have known I'd want to leave you."

"No, he must have known you would always want to come back.” 

- “You'll stay with me?'

Until the very end,' said James.” 

- “The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well.” 

- “It is a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well.”

- “Seventeen, eh!" said Hagrid as he accepted a bucket-sized glass of wine from Fred.

"Six years to the day we met, Harry, d’yeh remember it?"

"Vaguely," said Harry, grinning up at him. "Didn’t you smash down the front door, give Dudley a pig’s tail, and tell me I was a wizard?"

"I forge’ the details," Hagrid chortled.” 

- “I'm going to keep going until I succeed — or die. Don't think I don't know how this might end. I've known it for years.” 

- “For instance, this new idea that You-Know-Who can kill with a single glance from his eyes. That’s a basilisk, listeners. One simple test: Check whether the thing that’s glaring at you has got legs. If it has, it’s safe to look into its eyes, although if it really is You-Know-Who, that’s still likely to be the last thing you ever do.” 

- “Does it hurt?" The childish question had escaped Harry's lips before he could stop it. 

"Dying? Not at all," said Sirius. "Quicker and easier than falling asleep.” 

- “Every second he breathed, the smell of the grass, the cool air on his face, was so precious: To think that people had years and years, time to waste, so much time it dragged, and he was clinging to each second.” 

- “We did it, we bashed them wee Potter's the one, and Voldy's gone moldy, so now let's have fun!” 

- “Look...at...me..." he whispered. The green eyes found the black, but after a second, something in the depths of the dark pair seemed to vanish, leaving them fixed, blank, and empty. The hand holding Harry thudded to the floor, and Snape moved no more.” 

- “Snape's patronus was a doe,' said Harry, 'the same as my mother's because he loved her for nearly all of his life, from when they were children.” 

- “DUMBLEDORE'S ARMY, STILL RECRUITING.” 

- “Here lies Dobby, a free elf.” 

- “The last words Albus Dumbledore spoke to the pair of us?' 

Harry is the best hope we have. Trust him.” 

- “Would it hurt to die?”

- “So that's little Scorpious. Make sure you beat him in every test, Rosie. Thank god you've inherited your mother's brains.”
