[lucyblue22]

You'll catch on. Just copy'em down, like this.


I don’t think you should be an Auror, Harry. The Aurors are part of the Rotfang Conspiracy, I thought everyone knew that. They’re working to bring down the Ministry of magic from within using a combination of Dark Magic and gum disease.
Luna Lovegood
Half-Blood Prince, Page 320

I love her.

Harry, you’ve got a maggot in your hair.
Ginny Weasley
Half-Blood Prince, Page 339

I love her too.

Oh, well, if Won-Won thinks that, you’d better do it. After all, when has Won-Won’s judgment ever been faulty?
Hermione Granger
Half-Blood Prince, Page 374

Come on, have some fun!

One of my favorites! xD

[willfitz]

For whatever reason, I've always like this one:

And also one of my fav :

"Greatness inspires envy, envy engenders spite, spite spawns lies."
-Lord Voldemort


Oh, he knows how to play, little bitty baby Potter. Very well, then -'

That Lord Voldemort one is my favorite as well.

I love this one too, practically everything that Dumbledore says.

"I am a wizard, not a bamboon brandishing a walking stick."
-Ron Weasley, OOtP

"It unscrews the other way."
-Professor McGonagall to Peeves, OOtP

[merrymarge]

"Bad news, Harry.I've just been to see Professor McGonagallabout the firebolt. She got a bit ---Shirty with me.Told me that I got my priorities wrong...Just because i told her I didn't care if it threw you off, as long as you caught the Snitch first." Oliver Wood, POA.

[SlyEd]

I remembered a good one :

-Severus Snape: ...and of course, as Potter so wisely tells us, are transparent.
-Ron Weasley: Well, what Harry said is the most useful if we're trying to tell them apart! When we come face to face with one down a dark alley we're going to be having a shufti to see if it's solid, aren't we, we're not going to be asking, "Excuse me, are you the imprint of a departed soul?"

[Fury]

"In fact, being - forgive me - rather cleverer than most men, my mistakes tend to be correspondingly huger."
Albus Dumbledore - OoTP (err... I think)

I love him using "huger"
-------------------
One of them was a very old wizard who was wearing a long flowery nightgown. The other was clearly a Ministry wizard; he was holding out a pair of pinstriped trousers and almost crying with exasperation.

"Just put them on, Archie, there's a good chap. You can't walk around like that, the Muggle at the gate's already getting suspicious-"

"I bought this in a Muggle shop," said the old wizard stubbornly. "Muggles wear them."

"Muggle women wear them, Archie, not the men, they wear these," said the Ministry wizard, and he brandished the pinstriped trousers.

"I'm not putting them on," said old Archie in indignation. "I like a healthy breeze 'round my privates, thanks."

Hermione had a fit of giggles and had to leave the queue, until Archie left
(last line is paraphrased)

Goblet of Fire (God, I love Hermione )
-----------------
And of course, a must-have favorite for me:

“Hang on a moment!” said Ron sharply. “We’ve forgotten someone!”

“Who?” asked Hermione.

“The house-elves, they’ll all be down in the kitchen, won’t they?”

“You mean we ought to get them fighting?” asked Harry.

“No,” said Ron seriously, “I mean we should tell them to get out. We don’t want anymore Dobbies, do we? We can’t order them to die for us—”

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?”

Ron and Hermione's first kiss - Deathly Hallows

--------------------------------
Forgot one... the only Viktor Krum moment in the books I like!

"Vot is the point of being an international Quidditch player if all the good-looking girls are taken?"

Deathly Hallows

[Foreverchang]

"We'll send you a Hogwarts toilet seat!" -Fred and George Weasley

Ron and Hermione's first kiss - Deathly Hallows

Probably one of my favorite parts in DH. I love Harry, "Oi! There's a war going on here!". That literally cracked me up the first time I read it, it still does actually. It's too bad they didn't keep their kiss scene the same in the movie, I would of loved to see that on screen!

Here's a couple of my favourites from the Weasleys that I remember posting a long time ago. I'll add some more later.

"Would you like us to clean out your ears for you?" inquired George.
"Or any other part of your body, really, we're not fussy where we stick this," said Fred.

"Percy wouldn't recognize a joke if it danced naked in front of him wearing Dobby's tea cozy."
-Ron Weasley

"Make way for the heir of Slytherin, seriously evil wizard coming through."
-Fred and George Weasley

"Are you a Prefect, Percy? You should have told us. We had no idea. -Hang on, I think I remember him saying something about it, once. -Or twice. -A minute. -All summer."
-Fred and George Weasley

"He's just nipping off to the Chamber of Secrets for a cup of tea with his fanged servant!"
-George Weasley

"I thought it sounded a lot like Percy singing. Maybe you've got to attack him while he's in the shower, Harry."
-Fred Weasley

"Blown up a toilet? We've never blown up a toilet. -Great idea though, thanks, Mum."
-Fred and George Weasley

"Mum! How really corking to see you-!" -Fred Weasley
"Absolutely Spiffing!" -George Weasley

[merrymarge]

I love when the Marauder's Map insults Snape. It starts with Lupin and ends with Wormtail. then Prof. Lupin claims that it was from a joke shop. Snape thought Harry got it from the manufacturers. That whole exchange was very funny.

[xhanax315]

“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, Goblet of Fire
