Ron Quotes --
That Ron, he has a sarcastic sense of humor and a tendency
to curse quite frequently. He always seems to say the funniest things and gets into interesting situations because of his
temper. Here are some of my favorite Ron moments and quotes, divided into some categories.
----- Ron's misfortunes
"You've got to be kidding, I'm not wearing that, no way."
-GF (when shown his new dress robes which were slightly feminine)
"Why is everything I own rubbish?" -GF
"You never get anything new, either, with five brothers.
I've got Bill's old robes, Charlie's old wand, and Percy's old rat." -SS
"His name's Scabbers and he's useless, he hardly ever wakes
up. Percy got an owl from my dad for being made prefect, but they couldn't aff--I mean, I got Scabbers instead." -SS
----- Being Brave
"Yes..." said Ron soflty, "its the only way...I've got
to be taken." -SS (aww that Ron)
Ron plunged his hand into his robes, pulling out his wand,
yelling, "You'll pay for that one, Malfoy!" and pointing it furiously at Malfoy's face. -CS (after Draco called Herm a mudblood)
"If you want to kill Harry, you'll have to kill us too!"
He said fiercely, though the effort of standing upright was draining him still of more color, and he swayed slightly as he
spoke. -PA
----- About Hermione
"You're a little scary sometimes, you know that? Brilliant
but scary."
"Because that's what Hermione does," said Ron shrugging.
"When in doubt, go to the library." -CS
"She's made you out to be some sort of--of scarlet woman!"
-GF
"Whatever house I'm in, I hope she's not in it." -SS
"Oh Professor Flitwick, I'm so worried, I think I got question
fourteen b wrong..." -SS (imitating Herm)
"Yeah and lucky Harry doesn't lose his head in a crisis-
'there's no wood', honestly." -SS
"Looking for another book. I think she's trying to read
the whole library before Christmas." -CS
"But I wish I could have had a turn with the boggart-"
[said Hermione] "What would it have been for you?" said Ron sniggering. "A piece of homework that only got 9 out of 10?"
-PA
"Hermione!" said Ron weakly, and he tried to grab her hand
as she swung back. -PA (Ron was rather impressed when she slapped Draco)
"Hermione, I don't know what's gotten into you lately!"
said Ron astounded. "First you hit Malfoy, then you walk out on Professor Trelawney-". Hermione looked rather flattered. -PA
----- Doing Schoolwork
"D'you think we've got nothing better to do in Potions
than listen to Snape?" -CS
"You need your Inner Eye tested, if you ask me." -PA
"Aaaaah," said Ron, imitating Professor Trelawney's mystical
whisper, "when two Neptunes appear in the sky, it is a sure sign that a midget in glasses is being born, Harry..." Seamus
and Dean, sniggered loudly, though not loudly enough to mask the excited sqeals from Lavender Brown--"Oh Professor look! I
think I've got an unaspected planet! Oooh, which one's that, Professor?" "It is Uranus, my dear," said Trelawney, peering
down at the chart. "Can I have a look at Uranus too, Lavender?" said Ron. -GF
----- Ron's thoughts on the Professors
"He looks like one good hex would finish him off, doesn't
he?" -PA (about Prof. Lupin)
"Is Lockhart the swarmiest bloke you've ever met, or what?"
-CS
"Lockhart'll sign anything if it stands still long enough."
-CS
Ron called Professor McGonagall alot of names that greatly
annoyed Hermione. -PA
"D'you know what the-" (he called Snape something that
made Hermione say "Ron!") "-is making me do?" -PA
----- Making fun of Percy
"Percy wouldn't recognize a joke if it danced naked in
front of him wearing Dobby's tea-cosy."
----- About Draco
"I'm warning you, Malfoy--one more word--" "You're
in luck, Weasley, Potter's obviously spotted some money on the ground!" said Malfoy. Ron snapped. Before Malfoy knew what
was happening, Ron was on top of him, wrestling him to the ground. -SS
"Keep talking Malfoy, and I'll give you a real injury."
-PA
"I want to fix that in my memory forever," said Ron, his
closed and an uplifted expression on his face. "Draco Malfoy, the amazing bouncing ferret..." -GF
----- SPEW
"Spew'?" said Harry, picking up a badge and looking at
it. "What's this all about?" "Not spew," said Hermione impatiently. "It's S.P.E.W. Stands for the Society for the
Promotion of Elfish Welfare." "Never heard of it." said Ron. "Well, of course you haven't, I've only just started
it." "Yeah?" said Ron in mild surprise. "How many members have you got?" "Well--if you two join--three," said Hermione. "And
you think we want to walk around wearing badges saying 'spew', do you?" said Ron. "S-P-E-W!" said Hermione hotly. -GF
----- Romance
"We should get a move on, you know...ask someone. He's
right. We don't want to end up with a pair of trolls." said Ron. Hermione let out a sputter of indignition. "A pair of...what,
excuse me?" "Well--you know," said Ron, shrugging. "I'd rather go alone that with--with Eloise Midgen, say." "Her
acne's loads better lately--and she's really nice!" "Her nose is off-center," said Ron. "Oh I see," Hermione said,
bristling. "So basically, you're going to take the best-looking girl who'll have you, even if shes completely horrible?" "Er--yeah,
that sounds about right," said Ron -GF
"Hermione, Neville's right--you are a girl..." -GF (smooth
Ron, real smooth)
"Hasn't he asked you to call him Vicky yet?" -GF (sensing
some jealousy here)
"I still can't work out how you two got the best-looking
girls in the year," muttered Dean. "Animal magnetism," said Ron gloomily, pulling stray threads out of his cuffs. -GF
"Next time there's a ball, ask me before someone else does,
and not as a last resort!" (said Hermione) "Well," he sputtered, looking thunderstruck, "well--that just proves--completely
missed the point--" -GF
----- Ron's Unique Use Of Words
"Stupid little feathery git." "Slimy git." "Harry
you prat." "I'll go stankers before I put that on." "That's because he's a brainless git." "Blimey." g content
here
"But we're not stupid -- we know we're called Gred and Forge." -George Weasley
Everybody finished the song at different times. At last, only the Weasley twins
were left singing along to a very slow funeral march.
"'Constant vigilance!' You'd think I walk around with my eyes shut, banging
off the walls...." -Harry Potter
"Oh, are you a prefect Percy? You should have said something we had no idea." "Hang
on I think I remember him saying something about it, Once..." "Or twice-" "A minute-" "All summer-" -The Weasley
twins
"We tried to shut him in a pyramid, but Mum spotted us." -George Weasley
"Wild! I can make that old bloke down there pick his nose again...and again...and
again..." -Ron
"Lockhart'll sign anything if it stands still long enough." -Ron
"What would we want to be prefects for?" Said George looking revolted at the
very idea. "It'd take all the fun out of life." -George Weasley
"So light a fire!" Harry choked. "Yes...of course...but there's no wood!"
Hermione cried wringing her hands. "HAVE YOU GONE MAD!" Ron bellowed, "ARE YOU A WITCH OR NOT!"
"I believe misters Fred and George Weasley were responsible for trying to send
you a toilet seat." -Dumbledore
"That'll change the world, that report will," said Ron. "Front page of the
Daily Prophet, I expect, cauldron leaks."
"A study of Hogwarts prefects and their later careers," Ron read aloud off
the back cover. "That sounds fascinating."
"We had to write about our hero at school Mr. Mason; I wrote about you." -Dudley
"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."
"Mr. Moony presents his compliments to Professor Snape, and begs him to keep
his abnormally large nose out of other people's business." "Mr. Prongs agrees with Mr. Moony, and would like to add that
Professor Snape is an ugly git." "Mr. Padfoot would like to register his astonishment that an idiot like that ever became
a professor."
"I was saying that Saturn was surely in a position of power in the heavens
at the moment of your birth...your dark hair...your mean stature...tragic losses so young in life...I think I am right in
saying, my dear, that you were born in midwinter?" "No," said Harry, "I was born in July."
(Harry just been greeted by Percy...) "Harry!" said Fred, elbowing Percy out
of the way and bowing deeply. "Simply splendid to see you, old boy-" "Marvelous," said George, pushing Fred aside and
seizing Harry's hand in turn. "Absolutely spiffing." Percy scowled. "That's enough, now," said Mrs. Weasley. "Mum!" said Fred
as though he'd only just spotted her and seized her hand too. "How really corking to see you-"
"I want to fix that in my memory forever," said Ron, his closed and an uplifted
expression on his face. "Draco Malfoy, the amazing bouncing ferret..."
"Enjoying it?" said Ron darkly. "I don't reckon he'd come home if Dad didn't
make him. He's obsessed. Just don't get him onto the subject of his boss. According to Mr. Crouch...as I was saying to Mr
Crouch...Mr. Crouch is of the opinion...Mr. Crouch was telling me... They'll be announcing their engagement any day now."
"Don't be prat, Neville, that's illegal," said George. "They wouldn't use the
Cruciatus Curse on the champions. I thought it sounded a bit like Percy singing... maybe you've got to attack him while he's
in the shower, Harry."
"Aaaah," said Ron, imitating Professor Trelawney's mystical whisper, "when
two Neptunes appear in the sky, it is a sure sign that a midget in glasses is being born."
Dudley had done the thing he was threatening to to do since age three: He had
become wider than he was tall.
"Well...when we were in our first year, Harry--young, carefree, and innocent--" Harry
snorted. He doubted whether Fred and George had ever been innocent.
"How're we getting to King's Cross tomorrow, Dad?" asked Fred as they dug into
a sumptuous pudding. "The Ministry's providing a couple of cars," said Mr. Weasley. Everyone looked up at him. "Why?" said
Percy curiously. "It's because of you, Perce," said George seriously. "And there'll be little flags on the hoods, with HB
on them-" "-for Humongous Bighead," said Fred.
"Percy wouldn't recognize a joke if it danced naked in front of him wearing
Dobby's tea cozy." -Ron
Lee Jordan was finding it difficult not to take sides. "So--after that obvious
and disgusting bit of cheating--" "Jordan!" growled Professor McGonagall. "I mean, after that open and revolting foul--" "Jordan,
I'm warning you--" "All right, all right. Flint nearly kills the Gryffindor Seeker, which could happen to anyone, I'm sure..."
"His eyes are as green as a fresh pickled toad his hair as dark as a blackboard, I
wish he was mine, he's really divine, The hero who conquered the dark lord." -Ginny
"He got off, he got off, he got off-" - Fred, George, and Ginny
From Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
'Oy, Fred! C' mere and help!' (PS6)
'What's that? Said one of the twins suddenly, pointing
at Harry's lightning scar. 'Blimey,' said the other twin. 'Are you –?' 'He is,' said the first twin. 'Aren't'
you?' he added to Harry. 'What?' said Harry. 'Harry Potter,' chorused the twins. 'Oh, him,' said Harry,
'I mean, yes, I am.' (PS6)
'Oh, are you a Prefect, Percy?' said one of the
twins, with an air of great surprise. 'You should have said something, we had no idea.' 'Hang on, I think I remember him
saying something about it,' said the other twin. 'Once– ' 'Or twice–' 'A minute– ' 'All summer–' 'Oh,
shut up,' said Percy the Prefect. (PS6)
'Now, you two – this year, you behave yourselves.
If I get one more owl telling me you've – you've blown up a toilet or –' 'Blown up a toilet? We've never blown
up a toilet.' 'Great idea though, thanks, Mum.' 'It's not funny. And look after Ron.' 'Don't worry, ickle
Ronniekins is safe with us.' 'Shut up,' said Ron again. … 'Don't, Ginny, we'll send you loads of owls.' 'We'll
send you a Hogwarts toilet seat.' 'George!' (PS6)
'Are you really Harry Potter?' Ron blurted out. Harry
nodded. 'Oh – well, I though it might be one of Fred and George's jokes,' said Ron. (PS6)
Ron: '… Fred and George mess
around a lot, but they still get really good marks and everyone thinks they're really funny…' (PS6)
Harry has been sorted into Gryffindor:
Percy the Prefect got up and shook his [Harry's] hand vigorously, while the Weasley twins yelled, 'We got Potter! We got
Potter!' (PS7)
Everybody finished the song at different times. At last,
only the Weasley twins were left singing along to a very slow funeral march. Dumbledore conducted their last few lines with
his wand, and when they had finished, he was one of those who clapped loudest. 'Ah, music,' he said, wiping his eyes. 'A magic
beyond all we do here!' (PS7)
'I tell you, we're going to win that Quidditch Cup for
sure this year,' said Fred. 'We haven't won since Charlie left, but this year's team is going to be brilliant. You must be
good, Harry, Wood was almost skipping when he told us.' 'Anyway, we've got to go, Lee Jordan reckons he's found a new secret
passageway out of the school.' 'Bet it's that one behind the statue of Gregory the Smarmy that we found in our first week.
See you.' (PS9)
Wood: 'This is it.' The big one,'
said Fred Weasley. 'The one we've all been waiting for,' said George. 'We know Oliver's speech by heart,' Fred told
Harry. 'We were in the team last year.' (PS11)
'Merry Christmas!' 'Hey, look – Harry's got a
Weasley jumper, too!' Fred and George were wearing blue jumpers, one with a large yellow F on it, the other with a large
yellow G. 'Harry's is better than ours, though,' said Fred, holding up Harry's jumper. 'She obviously makes more of an
effort if you're not family.' 'Why aren't you wearing yours, Ron?' George demanded. 'Come on, get it on, they're lovely
and warm.' 'I hate maroon,' Ron moaned half-heartedly as he pulled it over his head. 'You haven't got a letter on yours,'
George observed, 'I suppose she thinks you don't forget your name. But we're not stupid – we know we're called Gred
and Forge.' … 'P for prefect! Get it on, Percy, come on, we're all wearing ours, even Harry got one.' 'I –
don't – want –'said Percy thickly, as the twins forced the jumper over his head, knocking his glasses askew. 'And
you're not sitting with the Prefects today, either,' said George. 'Christmas is a time for family.' They frog-marched
Percy from the room, his arms pinned to his sides by his jumper. (PS12)
From Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Harry's bedroom window has bars on it:
'But you can't magic me out either –' 'We don't need to,' said Ron, jerking his head towards the front seats and
grinning. 'You forget who I've got with me.' 'Tie that round the bars,' said Fred, throwing the end of a rope to Harry.
(CS3)
Fred and George climbed carefully through the window into
Harry's room. You had to hand it to them, thought Harry, as George took an ordinary hairpin from his pocket and started to
pick the lock. 'A lot of wizards thin it's a waste of time, knowing this sort of Muggle trick,' said Fred, 'but we feel
they're skills worth learning, even if they are a bit slow.' (CS3)
Harry tells the twins about Dobby:
'Very fishy,' said Fred finally. 'Definitely dodgy,' agreed George. 'So he wouldn't even tell you who's supposed to be
plotting all this stuff?' (CS3)
'Well,' said Fred, 'put it this way – house-elves
have got powerful magic of their own, but they can't usually use it without their masters' permission. I reckon Dobby was
sent to stop you coming back to Hogwarts. Someone's idea of a joke. Can you think of anyone at school with a grudge against
you?' (CS3)
'Well, whoever owns him will be an old wizarding family,
and they'll be rich,' said Fred. 'Yeah, Mum's always wishing we had a house-elf to do the ironing,' said George. 'But all
we've got is a lousy old ghoul in the attic and gnomes all over the garden. House-elves come with big old manors and castles
and places like that, you wouldn't catch one in our house…' (CS3)
The Ford Anglia lands at The Burrow:
'Touchdown!' said Fred as, with a slight bump, they hit the ground. (CS3)
'Now, we'll go upstairs really quietly,' said Fred, 'and
wait for Mum to call us for breakfast. Then Ron, you come bounding downstairs going, 'Mum, look who turned up in the night!'
and she'll be all pleased to see Harry and no one need ever know we flew the car.' (CS3)
Mrs. Wesley was marching across the yard…. Remarkable
how much she looked like a sabre-toothed tiger. 'Ah,' said Fred. 'Oh dear,' said George. (CS3)
'Perfect Percy,' muttered Fred. 'YOU COULD DO WITH TAKING
A LEAF OUT OF PERCY'S BOOK!' yelled Mrs. Weasley, prodding a finger in Fred's chest. (CS3)
'Yeah, she'll be wanting your autograph, Harry,' grinned
Fred, but he caught his mother's eye and bent his face over his plate without another word. (CS3)
George: 'Mum, we know how to de-gnome
a garden.' (CS3)
About Lockhart: 'Mum fancies him,'
said Fred in a very audible whisper. (CS3)
'See, they're not too bright,' said George, seizing five
or six gnomes at once. 'The moment they know the de-gnoming's going on they storm up to have a look. You'd think they'd have
learned by now just to stay put.'
Arthur's idea of firm discipline:
'Did you really?' said Mr. Weasley eagerly. 'Did it go all right?' (CS3)
Fred: 'You've been told to get all
Lockhart's books, too!' he said. 'The new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher must be a fan – bet it's a witch.' (CS4)
'Wish I knew what he [Percy] was up to,' said Fred, frowning.
'He's not himself. His exam results came the day before you did, twelve O.W.Ls and he hardly gloated at all.' … George
to Ron: '… If we're not careful, we'll have another Head Boy in the family. I don't think I could stand the same.'
(CS4)
'Where did you come out?' Ron asked. 'Knockturn Alley,'
said Hagrid grimly. 'Brilliant!' said Fred and George together. (CS4)
Quidditch practice: Fred Weasley's
head drooped right onto Alicia Spinnet's shoulder and he began to snore. (CS7)
'I've got a question, Oliver,' said George, who had woken
with a start. 'Why couldn't you have told us all this yesterday when we were awake?' Wood wasn't pleased. (CS7)
'And the Slytherins don't need a spy, Oliver,' said George. 'What
makes you say that?' said Wood testily. 'Because they're here in person.' Said George, pointing. (CS7)
Hermione: 'At least no one on the
Gryffindor team had to buy their way in,' said Hermione sharply. 'They got in on pure talent.' (CS7)
'Someone's – tampered – with – this –
Bludger,' Fred grunted. (CS10)
Harry: 'Go back to the rest of the
team and let me deal with the rogue one.' 'Don't be thick,' said Fred. 'It'll take your head off.' (CS10)
'This is all your fault,' George said angrily to Wood.
'"Get the Snitch or die trying" – what a stupid thing to tell him!' (CS10)
Harry is rumoured to be the Heir of Slytherin:
Fred and George, however, found all this very funny. They went out of their way to march ahead of Harry down the corridors,
shouting, 'Make way for the heir of Slytherin, seriously evil wizard coming through …' Percy was deeply disapproving
of this behaviour. 'It is not a laughing matter,' he said coldly. 'Oh, get out of the way, Percy,' said Fred,
'Harry's in a hurry.' 'Yeah, he's nipping off to the Chamber of Secrets for a cup of tea with his fanged servant,' said
George, chortling. (CS12)
Percy, who hadn't noticed that Fred had bewitched his prefect
badge so that it now read, 'Pinhead', kept asking them all what they were sniggering at. (CS12)
'Oh, that,' said Ginny, giggling. 'Well – Percy's
got a girlfriend.' Fred dropped a stack of book on George's head. 'What?' … 'You won't tease
him, will you?' she added anxiously. 'Wouldn't dream of it,' said Fred, who was looking as if his birthday had come early. 'Definitely
not,' said George, sniggering. (CS18)
From Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
'Harry!' said Fred, elbowing Percy out of the way and bowing
deeply. 'Simply splendid to see you, old boy –' 'Marvellous,' said George, pushing Fred aside and seizing
Harry's hand in turn. 'Absolutely spiffing.' Percy scowled. (PA4)
'What do we want to be Prefects for?' said George, looking
revolted at the very idea. 'It'd take all the fun out of life.'
George: 'We tried to shut him in a
pyramid,' he told Harry. 'But Mum spotted us.' (PA4)
'The Ministry's providing a couple of cars,' said Mr. Weasley.
Everyone looked up at him. 'Why?' said Percy, curiously. 'It's because of you, Perce,' said George seriously. 'And there'll
be little flags on the bonnets, with HB on them –' '– For Humongous Bighead,' said Fred. Everyone except
Percy and Mrs. Weasley snorted into their pudding. (PA4)
… they were interrupted by Fred and George, who had
looked in to congratulate Ron on infuriating Percy again. (PA5)
'– or we can ask Fred and George, they know every
secret passage out of the castle –' (PA5)
George looked up in time to see Malfoy pretending to faint
with terror again. 'That little git,' he said calmly. 'He wasn't so cocky last night when the Dementors were down our end
of the train. Came running into our compartment, didn't he, Fred?' 'Nearly wet himself,' said Fred, with a contemptuous
glance at Malfoy. 'I wasn't too happy myself,' said George. 'They're horrible things, those Dementors…' 'Sort
of freeze your insides, don't they?' said Fred. 'You didn't pass out, though, did you?' said Harry in a low voice. 'Forget
it, Harry,' said George bracingly. 'Dad had to go out to Azkaban one time, remember, Fred? And he said it was the worst place
he'd ever been. He came back all weak and shaking… They suck the happiness out of a place, Dementors. Most of the prisoners
go mad in there.' (PA6)
'We've got two unbeatable Beaters.' 'Stop it
Oliver, you're embarrassing us,' said Fred and George Weasley together, pretending to blush. (PA8)
'We think you're very good, too, Oliver,' said George. 'Cracking
Keeper,' said Fred. (PA8)
'Excellent,' said Fred, who had followed Harry through
the portrait hole. 'I need to visit Zonko's, I'm nearly out of Stink Pellets.'
'Oliver, calm down!' said Fred, looking slightly alarmed.
'We're taking Hufflepuff very seriously. Seriously.' (PA9)
'Harry!' said Fred, who looked extremely white underneath
the mud. 'How're you feeling?' (PA9)
'Where is Wood?' said Harry, suddenly realising he wasn't
there. 'Still in the showers,' said Fred. 'We think he's trying to drown himself.' (PA9)
'We'll come and see you later,' Fred told him. 'Don't beat
yourself up, Harry, you're still the best Seeker we've ever had.' (PA9)
'We've come to give you a bit of festive cheer before we
go,' said Fred, with a mysterious wink. 'Come in here…' … 'What's that supposed to be?' 'This, Harry,
is the secret of our success,' said George, patting the parchment fondly. 'It's a wrench, giving it to you,' said Fred,
'but we decided last night, your need's greater than ours.' 'Anyway, we know it off by heart,' said George. 'We bequeath
it to you. We don't really need it any more.' 'And what do I need with a bit of old parchment?' said Harry. 'A bit of
old parchment!' said Fred, closing his eyes with a grimace, as though Harry had mortally offended him. 'Explain, George.' 'Well…
when we were in our first year, Harry – young, carefree and innocent –' Harry snorted. He doubted whether Fred
and George had ever been innocent. '– well, more innocent than we are now – we got into a pot of bother with
Filch.' 'We let off a Dungbomb in the corridor and it upset him for some reason –' 'So he hauled us off to his
office and started threatening us with the usual –' '– detention –' '– disembowelment –
' … 'This little beauty's taught us more than all the teachers in this school.' (PA10)
'Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs,' sighed George, patting
the heading of the map. 'We owe them so much.' (PA10)
'Come on, Ron, you were always saying how boring Scabbers
was,' said Fred bracingly. 'And he's been off-colour for ages, he was wasting away. It was probably better for him to snuff
it quickly. One swallow – he probably didn't feel a thing.' 'Fred!' said Ginny indignantly. 'All he did
was eat and sleep, Ron, you said it yourself,' said George. 'He bit Goyle for us once!' Ron said miserable. 'Remember Harry?' 'Yeah,
that's true,' said Harry. 'His finest hour,' said Fred, unable to keep a straight face. 'Let the scar on Goyle's finger
stand as a lasting tribute to his memory…' (PA13)
'The Dementors won't turn up again, Oliver, Dumbledore'd
do his nut,' said Fred confidently. (PA13)
From Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
'What are we doing here? Has something gone wrong?' 'Oh,
no, Ron,' came Fred's voice, very sarcastically. 'No, this is exactly where we wanted to end up.' (GF4)
'Did he eat it?' said Fred excitedly, holding out a hand
to pull Harry to his feet. 'Yea,' said Harry, straightening up. 'What was it?' 'Ton-Tongue Toffee,' said Fred brightly.
'George and I invented them, we've been looking for someone to test them on all summer…' (GF5)
'That wasn't funny, Fred!' he [Arthur] shouted.
'What on earth did you give that Muggle boy?' 'I didn't give him anything,' said Fred, with another evil grin. 'I just
dropped it… it was his fault he went and ate it, I never told him to.' … 'How big did his tongue
get?' George asked eagerly. (GF5)
'We didn't give it to him because he was a Muggle!' said
Fred indignantly. 'No, we gave it to him because he's a great bullying git,' said George. (GF5)
'We've been hearing explosions out of their room for ages,
but we never thought they were actually making things,' said Ginny, 'we thought they just liked the noise.' (GF5)
'Yeah, someone might slip dragon dung in it again, eh,
Perce?' said Fred. 'That was a sample of fertiliser 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.' (GF5)
'Where're Bill and Charlie and Per-Per-Percy?' said George,
failing to stifle a huge yawn. (GF6)
'What is that in your pocket?' 'Nothing!' 'Don't
you lie to me!' Mrs. Weasley pointed her wand at George's pocket and said, 'Accio!' … 'We told you to destroy
them!' said Mrs. Weasley furiously… (GF6)
'Well, have a lovely time,' said Mrs Weasley, 'and behave
yourselves,' she called after the twins' retreating backs, but they did not look back or answer. (GF6)
'We'll bet thirty-seven Galleons, fifteen Sickles, three
Knuts,' said Fred, as he and George quickly pooled all their money, 'that Ireland wins – but Viktor Krum gets the Snitch.
Oh, and we'll thrown in a fake wand..' … 'Excellent! I haven't seen one that convincing in years! I'd pay five
Galleons for that!' (GF8)
'Anyone can speak Troll,' said Fred dismissively, 'all
you have to do is point and grunt.' (GF8)
'Oh, shut up, Weatherby,' said Fred. (GF8)
'Don't tell your mother you've been gambling,'
Mr. Weasley implored Fred and George, as they all made their way slowly down the purple-carpeted stairs. 'Don't worry,
Dad,' said Fred gleefully, 'we've got big plans for this money, we don't want it confiscated.' (GF9)
'You're all right,' Mrs Weasley muttered distractedly,
releasing Mr Weasley and staring around at them all with red eyes, 'you're alive… oh, boys…' And to everybody's
surprise, she seized Fred and George and pulled them both into such a tight hug that their heads banged together. 'Ouch!
Mum – you're strangling us –' 'I shouted at you before you left!' Mrs Weasley said, starting to sob. 'It's
all I've been thinking about! What if You-Know-Who had got you, and the last thing I ever said to you was that you didn't
get enough O.W.Ls? Oh, Fred… George…' (GF10)
'What are you two up to?' said Mrs Weasley sharply, her
eyes on the twins. 'Homework,' said Fred vaguely. 'Don't be ridiculous, you're still on holiday,' said Mrs Weasley. 'Yeah,
we've left it a bit late,' said George. … 'If the Hogwarts Express crashed tomorrow, and George and I died, how
would you feel knowing that the last thing we ever heard from you was an unfounded accusation?' Everyone laughed, even
Mrs Weasley. (GF10)
'… It is my very great pleasure to inform your that
the Triwizard Tournament will be taking place at Hogwarts this year.' 'You're JOKING!' said Fred Weasley loudly. (GF12)
'I'm going for it!' Fred Weasley hissed down the table,
his face lit with enthusiasm at the prospect of such glory and riches. (GF12)
'What was it like?' said Harry eagerly. Fred, George
and Lee exchanged looks full of meaning. 'Never had a lesson like it,' said Fred. (GF13)
'What's a bummer?' Ron asked George. 'Having a nosy
git like you for a brother,' said George. (GF15)
'Well, we have,' said George, indicating Fred, 'loads of
times to nick food. And we've met them, and they're happy. They think they've got the best job in the world –'
(GF15)
'An Age Line!' Fred Weasley said, his eyes glinting, s
they all made their way across the Hall to the doors into the Entrance Gall. 'Well, that should be fooled by an Ageing Potion,
shouldn't it? And once your name's in that Goblet, you're laughing – it can't tell whether you're seventeen or not!'
(GF16)
'C' mon, then – I'll go first –' … For
a split second, Harry thought it had worked… but next moment, there was a loud sizzling sound, and both twins were hurled
out of the golden circle as though they had been thrown by an invisible shot-putter. (GF16)
Ron: 'Well, we'd better get downstairs
for your surprise party, Harry – Fred and George should have nicked enough food from the kitchens by now.' (GF21)
'Don't be a prat, Neville, that's illegal,' said George.
'They wouldn't use the Cruciatus curse on the champions. I thought it sounded a bit like Percy singing… maybe you've
got to attack him while he's in the shower, Harry.' (GF21)
'Going to try and lead the house-elves out on strike now,
are you?' said George. 'Going to give up all the leaflet stuff and try and stir them into rebellion?' Several people chortled.
Hermione didn't answer. (GF21)
'Canary Creams!' Fred shouted to the excitable crowd. 'George
and I invented them – seven Sickles each, bargain!' (GF21)
… he [Ron] placed the last two cards on top of the
castle and the whole lot blew up, singeing his eyebrows. 'Nice look, Ron… go well with your dress robes, that will.'
It was Fred and George. … 'Because we want to send a letter, you stupid great prat,' said George. 'Who d' you
two keep writing to, eh?' said Ron? 'Nose out, Ron, or I'll burn that for you too,' said Fred, waving his wand threateningly.
(GF22)
'Who're you going with then?' asked 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 to
Alicia Spinnet near the fire, looked over at him. 'What?' she called back. 'Want to come to the ball with me?' Angelina
gave Fred an appraising sort of look. 'All right, then,' she said, and 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.' (GF22)
'Hello, Mr Bagman,' said Fred brightly. 'Can we buy you
a drink?' 'Er… no,' said Bagman, with a last disappointed glance at Harry, 'no thank you boys…' (GF24)
'– we've tried being polite, it's time to play dirty,
like him. He wouldn't like the Ministry of Magic knowing what he did –' 'I'm telling you, if you put that in writing,
it's blackmail!' (GF29)
George: 'You're starting to sound
a bit like our dear older brother, you are, Ron. Carry on like this and you'll be made a Prefect.' (GF29)
'Thought we'd see what those three were up to,' said Fred
matter-of-factly, stepping onto Goyle, and into the compartment. He had his wand out, and so did George, who was careful to
tread on Malfoy as he followed Fred inside. 'Interesting effect,' said George, looking down at Crabbe. 'Who used the Furnunculus
curse?' 'Me,' said Harry. 'Odd,' said George lightly, 'I used Jelly-Legs. Looks as though those two shouldn't be mixed.'
(GF37)
'Take it,' he said, and he thrust the sack into George's
hands. 'What?' said Fred, looking flabbergasted. 'Take it,' Harry repeated firmly. 'I don't want it.' 'You're mental,'
said George, trying to push it back at Harry. 'No, I'm not,' said Harry. 'You take it, and get inventing. It's for the
joke-shop.' 'He is mental,' Fred said, in an almost awed voice. … 'Harry – thanks,' George muttered,
while Fred nodded fervently at his side. (GF37).
From Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
'Fred and George have invented Extendable Ears, see,' said
Ron. (OP4)
'Hello, Harry,' said George, beaming at him. 'We thought
we heard your dulcet tones.' 'You don't want to bottle up your anger like that, Harry, let it all out,' said Fred, also
beaming. 'There might be a couple of people fifty miles away who didn't hear you.' 'You two passed your Apparition tests,
then?' asked Harry grumpily. 'With distinction,' said Fred. (OP4)
On Snape: 'Git,' said Fred idly. (OP4)
'I think we're well shot of him [Percy],' said George,
with an uncharacteristically ugly look on his face. (OP4)
'FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!' screamed Mrs Weasley. 'THERE WAS NO
NEED – I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS – JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE ALLOWED TO USE MAGIC NOW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WHIP YOUR WAND
OUR FOR EVERY TINY LITTLE THING!' 'We were just trying to save a bit of time!' said Fred, hurrying forward to wrench the
bread knife out of the table. (OP5)
'None of your brothers caused this sort of trouble!' Mrs
Weasley raged at the twins… (OP5)
'Molly you can't stop Fred and George,' said Mr Weasley
wearily. 'They are of age.' (OP5)
'Yeah, size is no guarantee of power,' said George. 'Look
at Ginny.' 'What d' you mean?' said Harry. 'You've never been on the receiving end of one of her Bat-Bogey Hexes, have
you?' (OP6)
'Right-o,' Fred said brightly, spraying the Doxy quickly
in the face so that it fainted, but the moment Mrs. Weasley's back was turned he pocketed it with a wink. 'We want to experiment
with Doxy venom for our Skiving Snackboxes,' George told Harry under his breath. (OP6)
'Testers?' 'Us,' said Fred. 'We take it in turns. George
did the Fainting Fancies – we both tried the Nosebleed Nougat –' 'Mum thought we'd been duelling,' said George.
(OP6)
'I love hearing Mum shouting at someone else,' said Fred,
with a satisfied smile on his face… (OP6)
Kreacher: 'and there's its twin, unnatural
little beasts they are.' (OP6)
Mrs Weasley was wiping her face on her apron, and Fred,
George and Ginny were doing a kind of war dance to a chant that went: 'He got off, he got off, he got off!' (OP9)
'Prefect?' he [Fred] said, staring incredulously at the
letter. 'Prefect?' … 'No way,' said George in a hushed voice. 'There's been a mistake,' said Fred…
(OP9)
'Yeah,' said Fred slowly. 'Yeah, you've [Harry} caused
too much trouble, mate. Well, at least one of you's got their priorities right.' He strode over to Harry and clapped him
on the back while giving Ron a scathing look. (OP9)
'I don't believe it! I don't believe it! Oh, Ron, how wonderful!
A prefect! That's everyone in the family!' 'What are Fred and I, next-door neighbours?' said George indignantly…
(OP9)
'We're going to have to watch our step, George,' said Fred,
pretending to tremble, 'with these two on our case…' 'Yeah, it looks like our law-breaking days are finally over,'
said George, shaking his head. (OP9)
Ron: 'They've always said only prats
become prefects…' (OP9)
GALLONS OF GALLEONS! Pocket money failing to keep
pace with your outgoings? Like to earn a little extra gold? Contact Fred and George Weasley Gryffindor common room, For simple, part-time, virtually painless jobs. (We
regret that all work is undertaken at applicant's own risk.) 'They are the limit,' said Hermione grimly… (OP12)
'Fifth year's OWL year,' said George. 'So?' 'So you've
got your exams coming up, haven't you? They'll be keeping your noses so hard to that grindstone they'll be rubbed raw,' said
Fred with satisfaction. 'Half our year had minor breakdowns coming up to OWLs,' said George happily. 'Tears and tantrums…
Patricia Stimpson kept coming over faint…' 'Kenneth Towler came out in boils, d' you remember?' said Fred reminiscently. 'That's
'cause you put Bulbadox powder in his pyjamas,' said George? 'Oh, yeah,' said Fred, grinning. 'I'd forgotten… hard
to keep track sometimes, isn't it?' (OP12)
Fred: 'But we feel our futures lie
outside the world of academic achievement.' (OP12)
'It is NOT excellent!' 'Course it is, they're alive,
aren't they?' said Fred angrily. (OP13)
Hermione has caught the twins red-handed:
… 'but I will write to your mother.' 'You wouldn't,' said George, horrified, taking a step back from her. (OP13)
Ron: 'Fred and George are going to
laugh themselves stupid when I turn up for tryouts.' (OP13)
'So top grade's "O" for "Outstanding",' she was saying,
'and then there's "A" –' No, "E",' George corrected her [Hermione], '"E" for "Exceeds Expectations". And I've always
though Fred and I should've got "E" in everything, because we exceeded expectations just by turning up for the exams.' (OP15)
'Well, be a good boy and keep your temper with Umbridge
today,' said George. 'Angelina'll do her nut if you miss any more Quidditch practises.' (OP15)
'Would you like us to clean out your ears for you?' enquired
George, pulling a long and lethal-looking metal instrument from inside one of the Zonko's bags. 'Or any part of your body,
really, we're not fussy where we stick this,' said Fred. (OP16)
'You know, I don't get whey Fred and George only got three
OWLs each,' said Harry, watching as Fred, George and Lee collected fold from the eager crowd. 'They really know their stuff.'
(OP17)
'But you get these massive pus-filled boils, too,' said
George, 'and we haven't worked out how to get rid of them yet.' 'I can't see any boils,' said Ron, staring at the twins. 'No,
well, you wouldn't,' said Fred darkly, 'they're not in a place we generally display to the public.' (OP18)
Harry was not aware of releasing George, all he knew was
that a second later both of them were sprinting towards Malfoy. He had completely forgotten that all the teachers were watching:
all he wanted to do was cause Malfoy as much pain as possible; with no time to draw out his wand, he merely drew back the
fist clutching the Snitch and sank it as hard as he could into Malfoy's stomach – 'Harry! HARRY! GEORGE! NO!;
(OP19)
'It's not my fault I didn't,' said Fred, with a very ugly
look on his face, 'I would've pounded the little scumbag to a pulp if you three hadn't been holding me back.' (OP19)
'Course we can go to St Mungo's if we want,' said Fred,
with a mulish expression. 'He's our dad!' (OP22)
'We don't care about the dumb Order!' shouted Fred. 'It's
our dad dying we're talking about!' yelled George. (OP22)
'You were guarding it, weren't you?' said George quietly.
'The weapon? The thing You-Know-Who's after?' (OP22)
'What's that supposed to be anyway?' asked Fred, squinting
at Dobby's painting. 'Looks like a gibbon with two black eyes.' 'It's Harry!' said George, pointing at the back of the
picture, 'says so on the back!' 'Good likeness,' said Fred, grinning. (OP23)
'Headless Hats!' shouted George… … 'How
do those hats work then?' said Hermione, distracted from her homework and watching Fred and George. 'I mean, obviously it's
some kind of Invisibility Spell, but it's rather clever to have extended the field of invisibility beyond the boundaries of
the charmed object…' (OP24)
Fred: 'Anyway… we've decided
we don't care about getting into trouble any more.' 'Have you ever?' asked Hermione. 'Course we have,' said George.
'Never been expelled, have we?' 'We've always known where to draw the line,' said Fred. 'We might have put a toe across
it occasionally,' said George. 'But we've always stopped short of causing real mayhem,' said Fred. 'But now?' said Ron
tentatively. 'Well, now –' said George. '– what with Dumbledore gone –' said Fred. '– we
reckon a bit of mayhem –' said George. '– is exactly what our new Head deserves,' said Fred. (OP27)
George: 'Oh, I hope she tries Vanishing
them next… they multiply by ten every time you try.' (OP27)
Umbridge: 'You two,' she went on,
gazing down at Fred and George , 'are about to learn what happens to wrong-doers in my school.' 'You know what?' said Fred.
'I don't think we are.' He turned to his twin. 'George,' said Fred, 'I think we've outgrown full-time education.' 'Yeah,
I've been feeling that way myself,' said George lightly. 'Time to test our talents in the real world, d' you reckon?' asked
Fred. 'Definitely,' said George. And before Umbridge could say a word, they raised their wands and said together: 'Accio
brooms!' … 'We won't be seeing you,' Fred told Professor Umbridge, swinging his leg over his broomstick. 'Yeah,
don't bother to keep in touch,' said George, mounting his own. Fred looked around at the assembled students, and at the
silent, watchful crowd. 'If anyone fancies buying a Portable Swamp, as demonstrated upstairs, come to number ninety-three,
Diagon Alley -- Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes,' he said in a loud voice, 'Our new premises!' 'Special discounts to Hogwarts
students who swear they're going to use our products to get rid of this old bat," added George, pointing at Professor Umbridge. 'STOP
THEM!' shrieked Umbridge, but it was oo late. As the Inquisitorial Squad closed in, Fred and George kicked off from the floor,
shooting fifteen feet into the air, the iron peg swinging dangerously below. Fred looked across the hall at the poltergeist
bobbing on his level above the crowd. 'Give her hell from us, Peeves.' And Peeves, who Harry had never seen take an
order from a student before, swept his belled hat from his head and sprang to a salute as Fred and George wheeled about to
tumultuous applause from the students below and sped out of the open front doors into the glorious sunset. (OP29)
Harry frequently heard students saying things like, 'Honestly,
some days I just feel like jumping on my broom and leaving this place,' or else, 'One more lesson like that and I might just
do a Weasley.' (OP30)

yours away from Scabbers or I'll turn it into a tea cozy! Hermione: It's a cat, Ronald! What do you expect? It's in his nature. Ron: A cat? Is that what they told you?

just ignore the mean little boy.

usual come to the wrong conclusion. Now if you'll excuse us, Remus and I have some unfinished business to attend to. Professor Snape: Give me a reason. I beg you. Professor Lupin: Severus, don't be a fool. Sirius Black: He can't help it. It's habit by now. Professor Lupin: Sirius, be quiet... Sirius Black: Be quiet yourself, Remus! Professor Snape: Listen to you two, quarrelling like an old married couple. Sirius Black: Why don't you run along and play with your chemistry set? Professor Snape: I could do it you know. But why deny the Dementors? They're so longing to see you. Do I detect
a flicker of fear? Ah yes. The Dementor's Kiss. One can only imagine what that must be like to endure. It's said to be nearly
unbearable to witness but I'll do my best.

wand] Harry: Keep away from me! Uncle Vernon: You're not allowed to use magic outside school! Harry: Yeah? Try me.

stranded witch or wizard. My name is Stan Shunpike and I will be your conductor this evening.
Harry: I knew I could do it because I already saw myself do
it. Does that make any sense? Hermione: No... [Buckbeak dives] Hermione: BUT I DON'T LIKE FLYING! [hermione screams]
[the train has stopped] Ron: There's something moving out there.
Sirius Black: It's cruel that I got to spend so much time with James
and Lily, and you so little. But remember, the ones who love us never truly leave us. They will always be found in here. [Puts his hand over Harry's heart]
Ron: [looking at Lupin who has just turned
into a werewolf] Nice doggie... nice doggie...
Dumbledore: A word of caution: dementors are vicious creatures.
They will not distinguish between the one they hunt and the one who gets in their way. Therefore I must warn each and every
one of you to give them no reason to harm you. It's not in the nature of a dementor to be forgiving. But you know happiness
can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light.
Professor Lupin: You know the very first time I saw you, Harry, I recognized
you immediately. Not by your scar, by your eyes. They're your mother, Lily's. Yes, oh yes. I knew her. Your mother was there
for me at a time when no one else was. Not only was she a singularly gifted witch, she was also an uncommonly kind woman.
She had a way of seeing the beauty in others even more perhaps. Most especially when that person couldn't see it in themselves.
Then your father, James on the other hand, he uh ha, he had a certain shall we say talent for trouble. The talent, rumor has
it, he passed onto you. You are more like them than you know, Harry. In time you'll come to see just how much.
Ron: Neville, you're supposed to stroke it!
Hermione: [howls] Harry: What are you doing? Hermione: Saving your life! Harry: Thanks!... Great, now he's coming at us! Hermione: Yeah, didn't think about that... run!
Harry: Expecto Patronum!
Shrunken Head: [while the Knight Bus is compressing itself
to squeeze between two buses] Why the long faces?
Professor Lupin: You are not weak, Harry. The Dementors affect you more
because there are true horrors in your past, horrors your classmates can scarcely imagine. You have nothing to be ashamed
of. Harry: I'm scared, Professor. Professor Lupin: Well, I'd consider you a fool if you weren't.
[Harry is on the Knight Bus, traveling at high
speed through London] Harry: But the Muggles. Can't they see us? Stan Shunpike: Muggles? They don't see nothin', do they? Shrunken Head: No, but if you jab them with a fork, they feel. [Laughs madly]
Professor Lupin: Come in. Now, I don't know how this map came to be in
your possession but I am astounded that you didn't hand it in. Did it never occur to you that this in the hands of Sirius
Black is a map to you? Harry: No sir. Professor Lupin: No. You know your father never set much store by the rules either but he and your mother
gave their lives to save yours. And running around the castle at night unprotected with a killer on the loose seems to me
to be a pretty poor way to repay them. Now I will not cover for you again Harry. I want you to return to your dormitory and
stay there. And don't take any detours, if you do I shall know.
Cornelius Fudge: As the Minister of Magic it is my duty to inform you,
Mr Potter, that at approximately 7:30 this evening your uncle's sister was located a little south of Sheffield, circling a
chimney stack. The Accidental Magic Reversal squad was dispatched immediately, she has been properly punctured and her memory
modified. She will have no recollection of the event whatsoever so that's that and no harm done. Pea soup? Harry: No thank you. Minister? Cornelius Fudge: Yes? Harry: I don't understand. Cornelius Fudge: Understand? Harry: I broke the law. Underage wizards aren't allowed to use magic at home. Cornelius Fudge: Come now Harry, the Ministry doesn't send people to Azkaban for blowing up their aunts.
Harry: Professor, why do the dementors affect me so? Professor Lupin: Listen, dementors are among the foulest creatures to walk this earth. They feed on every good feeling, every happy memory
until a person is left with nothing but his worst experiences. The dementors affect you more than others because there are
true horrors in your past, horrors your classmates can scarcely imagine. You are not weak Harry.
Harry: Poor Professor Lupin is having a really tough night.
Hermione: Come on, everywhere else is full. Ron: [sees Lupin] Who do you think that is? Hermione: Professor R.J. Lupin. Ron: Do you know everything? [to Harry] Ron: How is it she knows everything? Hermione: [annoyed] It's on his suitcase, Ronald! Ron: Oh.
Professor Trelawney: Here in this room, you will discover if you possess
the Sight! [stands up, and promptly bumps into her table]
Professor Lupin: Our pain becomes their power.
Hermione: [to Buckbeak] Come on Buckbeak! Come
and get the nice dead ferret!
Harry: Nice punch. Hermione: Thanks.
Hermione: At least somebody's enjoying himself.
Professor Lupin: What frightens you the most? Neville Longbottom: [mumbling] Pfsr Snpe. Professor Lupin: Sorry? Neville Longbottom: Professor Snape. [laughter] Professor Lupin: Professor Sna- well, he frightens all.
Harry: [seeing himself in the past] That's
us! This is not NORMAL.
Sirius Black: Come out, come out, Peter! Come out, come out and play!
Malfoy: [outside the shrieking shack to Ron and
Hermione] Well, well. Look who's here - you two shopping for your new dream home? Bit grand for you, isn't it, Weasel-Bee?
Don't your family all sleep in... one room?
Professor Snape: Potter, what are you doing wandering the corridors at
night? Harry: I was sleepwalking. Professor Snape: How extraordinarily like your father you are Potter; he too was exceedingly arrogant, strutting
about the castle. Harry: My Dad didn't strut, and nor did I. And if you don't mind, I'd appreciate it if you lower
your wand.
Dumbledore: Well? Harry: We did it. Dumbledore: Did what? Good night.
Harry: It's not exactly a happy memory... it's complicated.
Professor Lupin: Is it strong?
Hermione: Ow! That looks really painful. Ron: It's sorta painful. They uh, they might... chop it. Hermione: I'm sure Madame Pomfrey will fix it in a heartbeat. Ron: It's too late, it's ruined. It'll have to be chopped off.
Aunt Marge: They use the cane at St. Brutus's, boy? Harry: Oh. Yeah, yeah. I... I've been beaten loads of times.
Stan Shunpike: What you doin' down there? Harry: I fell over. Stan Shunpike: Well, what you fell over for? Harry: I didn't do it on purpose. Stan Shunpike: Well come on then! Let's not wait for the grass to grow!
Harry: [about the Marauder's Map] Professor,
I don't think it always works. Earlier... it showed someone in the castle... someone I know to be dead. Professor Lupin: Who? Harry: Peter Pettigrew. Professor Lupin: That's not possible.
Ron: [seeing Hermione appear in class]
When did she come in? Did you SEE her come in?
Ron: [when Harry and Hermione reappear]
How did you get there? I... I was talking to you there! And now you're there! Hermione: What's he talking about Harry? Harry: I dunno. Honestly Ron, how can people be in two places at once?
Professor Lupin: [commenting on Sirius' ragged looks]
Finally, the flesh reflects the madness within. Sirius Black: Well, you'd know all about the madness within, wouldn't you Remus?
Ginny Weasley: The Fat lady... she is gone! Ron: Serves her right. She was a terrible singer... Hermione: That's not funny, Ron!
Ron: So Sirius Black has broken out of Azkaban to come after
you? Hermione: But they'll catch Black, won't they? I mean, everyone's looking for him. Ron: Sure... except no one's broken out of Azkaban before and he's a murderous, raving lunatic. Harry: Thanks, Ron.
Professor Snape: That is the second time you have spoken out of turn,
Miss Granger. Are you incapable of restraining yourself, or do you take pride in being an insufferable know-it-all? Ron: He's got a point, you know.
Shrunken Head: Ernie, little old lady at twelve o'clock! [the
Knight Bus screeches to a halt] Shrunken Head: Ten... nine... eight... seven... six... five... four... 'tree'... 'tree' and a half... two... one and 'tree' quarters...
YES!
Hermione: [gazing at a crystal ball] Can I give
it a try? Professor Trelawney: Yes, sure! Hermione: The grim. Possibly. Professor Trelawney: You know, my dear, the moment I looked into your eyes I knew that you did not have the mind
for the noble art of Divination. [looking at her palm] Professor Trelawney: See? Right here. You may be young in years but the heart that beats beneath your bosom is
as shriveled as an old maid's, your soul as dry as the pages of the books to which you so desperately cleave. [Hermione
gets up and leaves, angrily] Professor Trelawney: Have I said something?
Sirius Black: Sorry about the bite, I reckon that twinges a bit. Ron: A bit? A bit? You almost tore my leg off! Sirius Black: I *was* going for the rat. Normally, I have a very sweet disposition as a dog. In fact, more
than once, James suggested that I make the change permanent. The tail I could live with. But the fleas? They're murder.
Harry: Professor Trelawney? Professor Trelawney: [in a deep, raspy voice] He will return tonight! He who betrayed his friends - whose heart rots with
murder! Innocent blood shall be shed and servant and master shall be reunited once moooooooore! [coughs]
Professor Trelawney: Oh, I'm sorry, dear. Did you say something?
Harry: I didn't mean to blow her up, I just... lost control.
Ron: Brilliant! Hermione: Honestly Ron, it's not funny! Harry was lucky not to be expelled. Harry: I think I was lucky not to have been arrested actually. Ron: I still think it's brilliant.
Hermione: [to Harry] Look who it is... Madame
Rosmerta. Ron fancies her! Ron: That's not true!
Ron: She's gone mental, Hermione has! I mean, not that she
wasn't always. But, now it's out there in the open for everyone to see.
Sirius Black: Enough talk, let's kill him! Professor Lupin: Wait! Sirius Black: I DID MY WAITING! TWELVE YEARS OF IT! IN AZKABAN!
[Maid knocks on a door] Young Witch Maid: Housekeeping! [the door opens, something roars from inside the room, and the door slams shut]
Young Witch Maid: I'll come back later.
Stan Shunpike: Take her away, Ern. Shrunken Head: [With a Jamaican accent] Yeah, take it away, Ernie! It's going be a bumpy
ride!
Stan Shunpike: What did you say your name was again? Harry: I didn't. Stan Shunpike: Well, whereabout are you headed? Harry: The Leaky Cauldron! That's in London. Stan Shunpike: D'you hear that, Ern? The Leaky Cauldron that's in London. Shrunken Head: Ah, the Leaky Cauldron! You get the pea soup, make sure you eat it before it eats you!
Harry: [about the Marauder's Map] What's
this rubbish? George Weasley: "What's this rubbish?" he says. Fred Weasley: That is the secret to our success.
[about the newspaper clipping Ron was showing
Harry and Hermione] George Weasley: Not flashing that clipping again, are you, Ron? Ron: I haven't shown anyone! Fred Weasley: No, not a soul! Unless you count Tom. George Weasley: The day maid. Fred Weasley: The night maid. George Weasley: The cook. Fred Weasley: That bloke who came to fix the toilet. George Weasley: And that wizard from Belgium!
Percy Weasley: I'm Head Boy!
Harry: [in reference to Sirius Black on the front
cover of the Daily Prophet] Who is that? That man? Stan Shunpike: Who is that?... Who is... THAT is Sirius Black that is! Don't tell me you've never been hearing
of Sirius Black? Harry: [Harry shakes his head] Stan Shunpike: He's a murderer. Got himself locked up in Azkaban for it. Harry: How did he escape? Stan Shunpike: Well that's the question, isn't it? He's the first one who done it. He was a big supporter
of You-Know-Who. Reckon you've heard of him? Harry: Yeah... him I've heard of.
Seamus Finnegan: [standing in front of the Fat Lady]
She won't let me in! She just won't!
Dumbledore: For in dreams, we enter a world that's entirely our
own.
Peter Pettigrew: What would you have done, Sirius? Sirius Black: I would have died. Died rather than betray my friends, Peter.
Sirius Black: Pettigrew's alive! And he's right there! [pointing
at Scabbers held by Ron] Ron: Me? He's mental! Sirius Black: Not you! Your rat!
Hagrid: Well, first the committee took turns in talking about
'why we were there'. Then I stood up and said my bit, how Buckbeak was a good hippogriff, always cleaned his feathers. And
then Lucius Malfoy got up...
Fat Lady in Painting: [sings while holding a glass] Ah ah
ah AH! Harry: Fortuna Major. Fat Lady in Painting: No, wait, wait! [sings again, higher] Fat Lady in Painting: Ah ah ah AH! Harry: Fortuna Major. Fat Lady in Painting: Wait! [sings again, highest] Fat Lady in Painting: Ah ah ah AAAAAAAAAAAH! [holds the note, looks around to make sure nobody's
watching, then smashes the glass on the edge of the painting] Fat Lady in Painting: Oh, amazing! And just with my voice! Harry: Fortuna Major. Fat Lady in Painting: Yes, all right, all right, you can go in. Harry: Thank you! Fat Lady in Painting: Plebs.
Professor Lupin: [Harry's turned up to visit him after
the battle in the woods] I saw you coming. [points to Marauder's Map] Professor Lupin: I've looked worse, believe me.
Hogwarts Choir: [singing]
In the cauldron boil and bake / Fillet of a fenny snake / Scale of dragon, Tooth of wolf / Witches, mummy, maw and gulf /
Double, double, toil and trouble / Fire burn and cauldron bubble! / Double, double, toil and trouble / Fire burn and cauldron
bubble! / Double, double, toil and trouble / Fire burn and cauldron bubble! / Something wicked this way comes!
Dumbledore: Professor Kettleburn, our Care of Magical Creatures
teacher for many years, has decided to retire in order to spend more time with his remaining limbs.
Hagrid: First thing you wanna know about hippogriffs, is that
they're very proud creatures, very easily offended. You do not want to insult a hippogriff. It may just be the last thing
you ever do. Now, who'd like to come and say hello? [everyone but Harry takes one step back] Hagrid: Well done, Harry, well done!
[while hurtling through London in the Knight
Bus] Harry: But the Muggles! Can't they see us? Stan Shunpike: Muggles? They don't see nothing, do they? Shrunken Head: Yeah, but if you jab them with a fork, they feel it! [laughs]
Cornelius Fudge: You will be pleased to hear that two members of the
Accidental Magical Reversal Department were dispatched to Privet Drive a few hours ago. Miss Dursley has been punctured and
her memory has been modified. She has no recollection of the incident at all. So that's that, and no harm done.
Harry: Professor, can I ask you something? Professor Lupin: You want to know why I stopped you fighting the boggart that other day? I would have thought
that was obvious. I assumed that if you faced the boggart, it would assume the shape of Lord Voldemort. Harry: I did think of him at first. But then I remembered that night on the train. I thought of those dementors. Professor Lupin: I'm impressed, Harry. That suggests that what you fear most of all... is fear. Very wise.
[first lines] Harry: Lumos Maxima! [five times]
Hermione: Harry, Harry! Shrunken head 1: I say! No
underage wizards allowed in today. SHUT THE DAMN DOOR Hermione: So rude! Ron: Thick-heads. Shrunken head 2: Thick-heads... how dare they. Who are they calling
thick heads? Young whippersnappers!
Ron: [Hermione is walking towards the werewolf
Lupin] Hermione... bad idea... bad idea...
