The script for "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" has now been released, and the "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" movie is set to premiere in just a few months. Because of this, people's love for J.K. Rowling's original book series has reignited.

In honor of this second wave of "Harry Potter," here is a list of memorable quotes from the books to help people get immersed back into the Wizarding World.

1. "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live."

~ Albus Dumbledore, The Prisoner of Azkaban


10. “What you fear most of all is--fear. Very wise.”

~ Albus Dumbledore, The Goblet of Fire
