Who Said That?!

[Goddess_Clio]

You choose a quote from the books, something a character said (as in, it's apprears in quotation marks in the text) and someone has to guess which character said the quote!

Rules:

1. It has to be a unique quote which only appears once. You can't, for example, chose "Weasley is our king!" because multiple characters say those words (in fact, it is sung in chorus by up to 200 people at one point) therefore there is more than one correct answer. Likewise, "CONSTANT VIGILANCE!" is Moody's catchphrase but there are other character who repeat it verbatum so it's not allowed.

2. It must be a quote attributed to a named character. You can't, for example, chose "Two rolls of parchment!" from the student tirade about Snape's homework assignment while filling in for Lupin because it is not attributed to a named character and could have been said by any number of students.

3. If the quote is interrupted by narrative, type the quote without it. For example: "The way he talks," Harry muttered as he hobbled out of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class and hour later, Moody had insisted on putting Harry through his paces four times in a row until Harry could throw off the curse entirely, "you'd think we were all going to be attacked any second!" becomes "The way he talks," ... "you'd think we were all going to be attacked any second!" OR "The way he talks you'd think we were all going to be attacked any second!"

4. The person who gives the correct answer first gets to choose the next quote.

5. The Quote-Giver needs to monitor their post's reply to make sure the correct answer wins, especially if the quote is obscure! I suppose less monitoring could be allowed for obvious owners of a quote but then the game wouldn't be fun!

Good Examples of Quotes:
"Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid fat rat yellow!" - Ron Weasley
"Pardon me, but I do like to see a healthy sized boy." - Aunt Marge
"I read in Witch Weekly about you are playing Harry Potter false and that boy has had enough hardship and I will be sending you a curse by next post as soon as I can find a big enough envelope." - Ron, reciting from a letter sent to Hermione.
