Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix quotes

View Quote Umbridge: Thank you, Headmaster, for those kind words of welcome. And how lovely to see all your bright happy faces smiling up at me [No one smiles]. I'm sure we're all going to be very good friends.
Fred and George: [sarcastically] That's likely.
Umbridge: The Ministry of Magic has always considered the education of young witches and wizard of vital importance. Although each Headmaster has brought something new to this historic school.
[Nods to Dumbledore]
Umbridge: Progress for the sake of progress must be discouraged. Let us preserve what must be preserved, perfect what can be perfected and prune practices that ought to be prohibited.
[Soft applause]
Dumbledore: Thank you Professor Umbridge, that really was most illuminating.
Ron Weasley: Illuminating? What a load of waffle!

View Quote Harry: Dean, Seamus, good holiday?
Dean: Alright, better than Seamus's anyway.
Seamus: My mum didn't want me to come back this year.
Harry: Why not?
Seamus: Let me see, because of you! The Daily Prophet's been saying a lot of things about you Harry. And about Dumbledore as well.
Harry: And your mum believes them?
Seamus: Well, nobody was there the night Cedric died.
Harry: Oh well I guess you should read the Prophet then like your stupid mother, it'll tell you everything you need to know!
Seamus: Don't you dare talk about my mother like that!
Harry: I'll go up against anyone that calls me a liar!
Ron: [Entering the common room] What's going on?
Seamus: He's mad, is what's going on! Do you believe the rubbish he's coming out with about You-Know-Who?
Ron: Yeah, I do. Has anyone else got a problem with Harry?

View Quote Ron: You alright, mate?
Harry: I'm fine
Ron: Seamus was bang out of order. But he'll come through. You'll see--
Harry: I said I'm fine Ron!
Ron: Right. I'll just leave you to your thoughts then. [Ron leaves the dormitory]

View Quote Umbridge: Your previous instruction for this subject has been disturbingly uneven. But you will be pleased to know, from now on you will be following a carefully structured, Ministry-approved course of defensive magic. Yes?
Hermione: There's nothing in here about using defensive spells?
Umbridge: Using spells? [laughs] Why I can't imagine why you would need to use spells in my classroom.
Ron: We're not gonna use magic?
Umbridge: You'll be learning about defensive spells, in a secure risk-free way.
Harry Well, what use is that? If we're gonna be attacked, it won't be risk-free.
Umbridge: Students will raise their hands when they speak in my class. It is the view of the Ministry that a theoretical knowledge will be sufficient to get you through your examinations, which after all is what school is all about!
Harry: And how is theory supposed to prepare us for what's out there?
Umbridge: There is nothing out there dear. Who would you imagine would want to attack children like yourself?
Harry: Oh, I don't know, maybe Lord Voldemort?

View Quote Umbridge: No let me make this quite plain. You have been told that a certain Dark Wizard is at large once again. This...is...a ...lie!
Harry: It's not a lie, I saw him! I fought him!
Umbridge: Detention, Mr. Potter!
Harry: So according to you Cedric Diggory dropped dead of his own accord?
Umbridge: Cedric Diggory's death was a tragic accident.
Harry: It was murder. Voldemort killed him. You must know this--
Umbridge: Enough! Enough.

View Quote Luna: Hello Harry Potter.
Harry: [Sees Luna isn't wearing shoes] Your feet, aren't they cold?
Luna: Bit. Unfortunately all my shoes have mysteriously disappeared. I suspect Nargles are behind it.
Harry: [Referring to the Thestrals] What are they?
Luna They're called Thestrals. They're quite gentle really but people avoid them because, they're a bit--
Harry: Different. But why can't the others see them?
Luna: They can only be seen by people who've seen death.
Harry: So you've known someone who's died then?
Luna: My mum. She was quite an extraordinary witch and she did like to experiment and one day one of her spells went badly wrong. I was nine.
Harry: I'm sorry.
Luna: Yes, it was rather horrible. I do feel very sad about it sometimes. But I still have a dad. We both believe you by the way. [When Harry doesn't respond] That He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is back, and you fought him and the Ministry and the Prophet are conspiring against you and Dumbledore.
Harry: Thanks. It seems you're about the only ones that do.
Luna: Don't think that's true.

View Quote Umbridge: Pardon me, professor, but what exactly are you insinuating?
Professor McGonnagall: I am merely requesting that when it comes to my students, you conform to the prescribed disciplinary practices.
Umbridge: So silly of me but it sounds as if you're questioning my authority in my own classroom... [Takes a step up] Minerva.
Professor McGonnagall: Not at all, [Does the same] Dolores.. Merely your medieval methods.
Umbridge: I am sorry dear, but to question my practices is to question the Ministry and, by extension, the Minister himself. I am a tolerant woman but the one thing I will not stand for is disloyalty.
Professor McGonnagall: [Takes a step down] Disloyalty?
Umbridge: Things at Hogwarts are far worse than I feared. Cornelius will want to take immediate action.

View Quote Umbridge: You applied first for the Defense Against the Dark Arts post, is that correct?
Snape: ...Yes.
Umbridge: But you were unsuccessful?
Snape: ...Obviously.
[Ron snickers just as Umbridge leaves. Snape whacks him over the head with a book]

View Quote Harry: First we need to find a place to practice where Umbridge won't find out.
Ginny: The Shrieking Shack?
Harry:That's too small.
Hermione: Forbidden Forest?
Ron: Oh bloody no.
Ginny: Harry? What happens if Umbridge does find out?
Hermione: Who cares? I mean, sort of exciting, isn't it, breaking the rules?
Ron: Who are you, and what have you done with Hermione Granger?

View Quote Hermione: You've done it Neville. You found the Room of Requirement.
Ron: The what?
Hermione: It's also known as the Come-And-Go Room. The Room of Requirement only appears when a person has real need of it, and is always equipped for the seeker's needs.
Ron: So say you really needed the toilet?
Hermione: Charming, Ronald, but yes, that is the general idea.
Harry: It's brilliant! It's like Hogwarts wants us to fight back.

View Quote Umbridge: You will please copy the approved text four times to insure maximum pretention. There will be no need to talk.
Hermione: [sotto voice] No need to think is more like it.
[neville flicks out wand[Expelliarmus] umbridge:Wands away.

View Quote Harry: Are you alright? I heard Umbridge gave you a rough time the other day.
Cho: Yeah I'm okay. Anyway, it's worth it. It's just, just learning all this. Makes me wonder whether if he'd known it...
Harry: Cedric, Cedric did know this stuff. He was really good. It's just, Voldemort was better.
Cho: You're a really good teacher Harry. I've never been able to stun anything before.

View Quote Cho: Mistletoe.
Harry: Probably full of Nargles, though.
Cho Chang: What are Nargles?
Harry: I have no idea.
[They kiss]

View Quote Hermione: [referring to Harry's kiss] Well, how was it?
Harry : Wet. She was sort of...crying.
Ron: That bad at it are you?
Hermione: I'm sure Harry's kissing is more than satisfactory. Cho spends half her time crying these days.
Ron: Think a bit of snogging would cheer her up.
Hermione: Don't you understand how she must be feeling? ...Well, obviously she's feeling sad about Cedric, and therefore confused about liking Harry and guilty about kissing him. Conflicted because Umbridge is threatening to sack her mother from her job at the Ministry and frightened of failing her O.W.L.'s because she's so busy worrying about everything else.
Ron: One person couldn't feel all that, they'd explode!
Hermione: Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean everybody else does!

View Quote Dumbledore: In the dream were you standing next to the victim, or looking down at the scene?
Harry: Neither, I--It was like I--Professor, will you please just tell me what's happening?
Dumbledore: Everard! Arthur is on guard duty tonight. Make sure he's found by the right people.
Harry Sir...
Dumbledore: Phineas! You must go to your portrait at Grimmauld Place. Tell them that Arthur Weasley is gravely injured and his children will be arriving there soon, by Portkey.
Everard: They got him, Albus. It was close but they think he'll make it. Once more the Dark Lord failed to acquire it.
Dumbledore: Oh, thank goodness! Next we need to--
Harry: Look at me! What's happening to me?
Snape: [Entering Dumbledore's office] You wished to see me, Headmaster?
Dumbledore: Oh Severus. I'm afraid we can't wait. Not even till the morning. Otherwise we'll all be vulnerable.
