"Not for the first time, an argument had broken out over breakfast at number four, Privet Drive."
"We would also ask you to remember that any magical activity that risks notice by members of the non-magical community (Muggles) is a serious offense under section 13 of the International Confederation of Warlock's Stature of Secrecy."
"The clock on the wall opposite him had only one hand and no numbers at all. Written around the edge were things like Time to make tea, Time to feed the chickens, and You're late.Books were stacked three deep on the mantlepiece, books with titles like Charm your Own Cheese, Enchantment in Baking, and One Minute Feasts--It's Magic."
"Potter, you've got yourself a girlfriend."
"It was a voice, a voice to chill the bone marrow, a voice of breath-taking, ice-cold venom. "Come...come to me...Let me rip you...Let me tear you...Let me kill you..."
"Harry spun around. There, his black robes rippling in a cold breeze, stood Severus Snaoe. He was a thin man with sallow skin, a hooked nose, and grreasy, shoulder-length black hair, and at his moment, he was smiling in a way that told Harry he and Ron were in very deep trouble."
"We can only accept huntsmen whose heads have parted company with their bodies. You will appreciate that it would be impossible otherwise for members to participate in hunt activities such as Horseback Head-Jaggling and Head Polo."
"Myrtle gave a tragic sob, rose up in the air, turned over, and dived headfirst into the toilet, splashing water all over them and vanishing from sight, although the direction of her muffled sobs, she had to come to rest somewhere in the U-bend."
"Hermione left the hospital wing, de-whiskered, tail-less and fur-free, at the beginning of February."
"Harry constantly repeated Dumbledore's final words to himself. "I will only truly have left this school when none here are loyal to me...Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it."
"The Chamber Of Secrets Has Been Opened. Enemies Of The Heir, Beware."
"You were seen! By no less than seven Muggles! Do you have any idea how serious this is? You have risked the exposure of our world! Not to mention the damage you inflicted on Whomping Willow, that's been on these grounds since before you were born!"
"So this is what Dumbledore sends his great defender. A songbird and an old hat."
"Fame is a fickle friend Harry. Celebrity is as celebrity does. Remember that."
