I have been waiting for my letter to Hogwarts for almost 9 years and even though that makes me a little bitter, I still love Harry Potter. Harry Potter has seemed to be off the radar for a bit, besides those Harry Potter weekends on Freeform. However, this new book has got me thinking back to the original books and movies. There are so many emotional and inspirational quotes from the books and movies. Here are my favorite:
1. "Do not pity the dead Harry, pity the living, and above all, those who live without love." -Albus Dumbledore, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”
2. " 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, “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”
3. "Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have." -Hermione Granger, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
4. "It is my belief...that the truth is generally preferable to lies." -Albus Dumbledore, “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”
5. "We've all got both light and darkness inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are." -Sirius Black, “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”
6. "Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect." -Luna Lovegood, “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”
7. "What's comin' will come, and we'll meet it when it does." -Rubeus Hagrid, “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”
8. "But you know, happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." -Albus Dumbledore, “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”
9. "It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends." -Albus Dumbledore, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone”
10. "For in dreams, we enter a world that is entirely our own. Let them swim in the deepest ocean or glide over the highest cloud." -Albus Dumbledore, “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”
11. "It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be." -Albus Dumbledore, “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”

14 "Always." Severus Snape, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”
15. “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.” -Albus Dumbledore, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”
16. "It is the quality of one's convictions that determines success, not the number of one's followers." -Remus Lupin, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”
