Alan Rickman movie quotes

View Quote Oh, give over, will you? I couldn't rape you if I wanted to. Angels are ill-equipped. (lowers his pants) See? I'm as anatomically impaired as a Ken doll. You bottom-feeders and your arrogance; you think everybody's just trying to get in your knickers.

View Quote One of the drawbacks to being a martyr is that you have to die.

View Quote Behold the Metatron! Herald of the Almighty and voice of the one true God!

View Quote It's Christmas, Theo, it's the time of miracles. So be of good cheer and call me when you hit the last lock.

View Quote "When Alexander saw the breadth of his domain he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer." The benefits of a classical education.

View Quote Locksley, I'm gonna cut your heart out with a spoon!

View Quote Just a minute. Robin Hood steals money from my pocket, forcing me to hurt the public, and they love him for it? That's it, then! Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas!

View Quote Do you mind Locksley? We've just been married.

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 [Snape blocks out Harry after he accidentally sees into Snape's mind while trying to protecting himself]
Snape: Enough! Enough.
[Snape grabs Harry by his shirt]
Snape: Your lessons are at an end.
Harry: I didn't mean--
Snape: Get out.

View Quote [Snape has just witnessed Harry's memory of seeing his parents in the Mirror of Erised]
Snape: Feeling sentimental?
Harry: That's private.
Snape: Not to me. And not to the Dark Lord if you don't improve. Every memory he has access to is a weapon he can use against you. You won't last two seconds if he invades your mind. You're just like your father. Lazy, arrogant.
'Harry: Don't say a word against my father.
Snape: Weak!
Harry: I'm not weak!
Snape: Then prove it! Control your emotions! Discipline your mind! Legillimens!
[Series of flashbacks, including a touching moment between Harry and Sirius]
Harry: Sirius.
Snape: I may vomit.
Potter: Stop it!
Snape: Is that what you call control?
Harry: (heavy panting)We've been at it for hours. If I could just rest!
Snape: The Dark Lord isn't resting. You and Black, you're two of a kind, sentimental children forever whining about how bitterly unfair your lives have been, well it may have escaped your notice, but life isn't fair. Your blessed father knew that, in fact he frequently saw to it!
Harry: My father was a great man!
Snape: Your father was a swine. Legillimens!
Harry: Protego!

View Quote Harry: [to Rufus the gift-wrapper] NO! No bloody holly!

View Quote Karen: Loitering around the jewellery counter, I see!
Harry: No. I was just looking around.
Karen: Don't worry, my expectations are not that high after 13 years of Mr. "Oh-but-you-always-LOVE-scarves"!

View Quote Harry: Right, the Christmas party, not my favourite night of the year and your unhappy job to organise.
Mia: Tell me.
Harry: It's basic, really. Find a venue, over-order on the drinks, bulk buy the guacamole and advise the girls to avoid Kevin if they want their breasts unfondled.

View Quote Dumbledore: Good evening, Draco. What brings you here on this fine, spring evening?
Malfoy: Who else is here? I heard you talking.
Dumbledore: I often talk aloud to myself. I find it extraordinarily useful. Have you been whispering to you yourself, Draco? Draco, you are no assassin.
Malfoy: How do you know what I am?! I've done things that would shock you!
Dumbledore: Like cursing Katie Bell and hoping that, in return, she would bear a cursed necklace to me? Like replacing a bottle of mead with one laced with poison? Forgive me, Draco, but I cannot help feeling these actions are so weak that your heart can't really have been in them.
Malfoy: He trusts me! I was chosen! [reveals the Dark Mark on his left arm]
Dumbledore: I shall make it easy for you... [raises his wand]
Malfoy: Expelliarmus!
Dumbledore: [wand flies out of his hand] Very good, very good. [door opens in the distance] You're not alone? There are others? How?
Malfoy: The Vanishing Cabinet in the Room of Requirement. I've been mending it.
Dumbledore: Let me guess; It has a sister? A twin?
Malfoy: At Borgin & Burke's. They form a passage.
Dumbledore: Ingenius. Draco, years ago, I knew a boy who made all the wrong choices. Please let me help you.
Malfoy: [breaking into tears] I don't want your help! Don't you understand? I have to do this! I have to kill you! Or he's gonna kill me...
Bellatrix: [walking into the astronomy tower followed by Death Eaters] Well, look what we have here. Well done, Draco!
Dumbledore: Good evening, Bellatrix. I think introductions are in order, don't you think?
Bellatrix: Love to, Albus, but I'm afraid we're on a bit of a tight schedule. [to Draco] Do it!
Greyback: He doesn't have the stomach... just like his father. Let me finish him in my own way.
Bellatrix: No! The Dark Lord was clear; The boy's to do it. This is your moment. Do it! Go on, Draco! NOW!
[Malfoy lowers his wand]
Snape: No. [steps in]
Dumbledore: Severus... please.
[short pause]
Snape: Avada Kedavra!
[The spell hits Dumbledore. He is knocked over the rail behind him and falls from the tower, as Harry witnesses everything]

View Quote [Hermione is being offered an hors d’oeuvre at Slughorn's Christmas party after evading McLaggen]
Waiter: Dragon Tartare?
Hermione: No, I’m fine, thank you.
Waiter: Probably just as well, they give one horrible breath.
Hermione: On second thoughts... [Grabs tray and gobbles one] Maybe it'll keep Cormac at bay... oh God, here he comes!
[Hermione slips out before she is seen by McLaggen]
Harry: I think she just went to powder her nose.
McLaggen: Slippery little minx your friend is. Likes to work her mouth, too, doesn’t she?
[McLaggen eats one of the hors d’oeuvres off of a tray Harry is holding while talking to him.]
McLaggen: What is this I'm eating, by the way?
Harry: [tentative] Dragon Balls.
[Snape joins them behind the curtain. McLaggen throws up on Snape's shoes.]
Snape: [pause] You've just bought yourself a month's detention, McLaggen - [Harry tries to leave] not... so quick, Potter!
Harry: Sir, I really think I should rejoin the party. My date...
Snape: Can surely survive another minute or two. Besides, I only wish to convey a message.
Harry: Message?
Snape: From Professor Dumbledore. He asked me to give you his best and he hopes you enjoy your holiday. You see, he’s traveling, and he won’t return until term resumes.
Harry: Traveling where?
[Snape is silent and then walks off.]

View Quote Harry: Incarcerous! [Snape blocks the spell] Fight back! You coward, fight back!
[Bellatrix knocks Harry backwards with a spell]
Snape: No! He belongs to the Dark Lord!
[Bellatrix reluctantly walks away. Snape glances at Harry briefly before beginning to leave.]
Harry: Sectumsempra!
[Snape knocks Harry backwards, then approaches him slowly]
Snape: You dare use my own spells against me, Potter? [Harry stares in horror] Yes. I'm the Half-Blood Prince. [Kicks Harry's wand away and leaves]

View Quote I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses. I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper in death. However it seems some of you have come to class to not PAY attention.

View Quote [entering class room] There will be no wand waving or silly incantaions in this class.

View Quote Mr. Potter our new celebrity...

View Quote Gilderoy Lockhart: Allow me to introduce my assistant... Professor Snape. [Snape grudgingly walks up onto the platform] He has sportingly agreed to help me with a short demonstration. Now, I don't want any of you youngsters to worry. You'll still have your Potions Master when I'm through with him. Never fear.
[Lockhart and Snape approach each other, bow to each other, walk a fair distance apart and ready their wands.]
Gilderoy Lockhart: One, two, three.
Snape: Expelliarmus!
[The spell blasts Lockhart across the room.]
Hermione: Think he's all right?
Ron: Who cares?!
Gilderoy Lockhart: An excellent idea to show them that, Professor Snape. But if you don't mind my saying, it was pretty obvious as to what you were about to do. If I had wanted to stop you, it would have been only too easy.
Snape: Perhaps it would be prudent to first teach the students to block unfriendly spells, professor.
Gilderoy Lockhart: An excellent suggestion, Professor Snape. Let's have a volunteer. Uh, Potter, Weasley. How about you?
[Harry walks to the platform steps]
Snape: Weasley's wand causes devestation with the simplest spells. We'll be sending Potter to the hospital wing in a matchbox. Might I suggest someone from my own house? Malfoy, perhaps?

View Quote [Harry and Malfoy's duel]
Lockhart: Now, on the count of three, I want you to cast your charms to disarm your opponent. Only to disarm. We don't want any accidents here. One. Two--
Draco Malfoy: Everte Statum!
[Harry is blasted into doing two to three 360s in the air. He gets up.]
Harry: Rictusempra!
[Malfoy does several horizontal flips in the air, landing in front of Snape. He grabs Malfoy and forces him back in place]
Lockhart: I said disarm only!
Draco Malfoy: Serpensortia!
[A snake flies out of Malfoy's wand]
Snape: Don't move, Potter. I'll get rid of it for you.
Lockhart: Allow me, Professor Snape. Alarte Ascendere!
[The snake blasts into the air, hisses at the audience, then lands back down]

View Quote [McGonagall, Snape and the other faculty find another message that has been written on the wall in blood]
McGonagall: As you can see, the Heir of Slytherin has left another message. Our worst fear has been realized. A student has been taken by the monster into the chamber itself! The students must be sent home. I'm afraid this is the end of Hogwarts.
Lockhart: [entering] So sorry. Dozed off. What have I missed?
Snape: A girl has been snatched by the monster, Lockhart. Your moment has come at last.
Lockhart: My moment?
Snape: Weren't you saying just last night that you've known all along where the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is?
[Lockhart doesn't answer]
McGonagall: That's settled. We'll leave you to deal with the monster, Gilderoy. Your skills, after all, are legend.
Lockhart: Very well. I'll just be in my office getting... getting ready.
Pomfrey: Who is it that the monster's taken, Minerva?
McGonagall: Ginny Weasley.
[Harry and Ron are shocked and read the other message written in blood on the wall]
Ron: [reading] "Her skeleton will lie in the chamber forever". [despaired] Ginny...

View Quote [last words, as Harry collects his tears] Take them to the Pensieve. Look at me. You have your mother's eyes. [dies]

View Quote Professor Snape: [to Hogwarts students] Many of you are surely wondering why I have summoned you at this hour. It's come to my attention that earlier this evening, Harry Potter was sighted in Hogsmeade. Now, should anyone, student or staff, attempt to aid Mr. Potter, they will be punished, in a manner consistent with the severity of their transgression. Furthermore, any person found to have knowledge of these events... who fails to come forward, will be treated... as... equally guilty. If anyone here knows any knowledge of Mr. Potter's movements this evening, I invite them to step forward... now.
[There is a long pause, as the assembled students and professors just stare at the ground in terror. Harry then steps out from the crowd, causing audible gasps from everyone present]
Harry Potter: [coldly] It seems despite your exhaustive defensive strategies, you still have a bit of a security problem, Headmaster. [Order of Phoenix members enter] And I'm afraid it's quite extensive. How dare you stand where he stood. Tell them how it happened that night! How you looked him in the eye, a man who trusted you, and killed him! Tell them!
[McGonagall and Snape fight with their wands as all the students move to either side of the Great Hall. The Carrows fall to the ground as a result of Snape’s redirection of McGonagall’s spell and Snape then retreats]
Minerva McGonagall: Coward!

View Quote [Harry is viewing Snape's memories in the Pensieve in Dumbledore’s office]
Severus Snape: It will contain the curse to your hand for the time being. It will spread, Albus.
Albus Dumbledore: How long?
Severus Snape: Maybe a year.
[Snape turns to leave, but Dumbledore stops him]
Albus Dumbledore: Don't ignore me, Severus. We both know Lord Voldemort has ordered the Malfoy boy to murder me. But should he fail, one should presume that the Dark Lord would turn to you. You must be the one to kill me, Severus. It is the only way. Only then will the Dark Lord trust you completely. [We see Dumbledore being killed by Snape, as shown in Half-Blood Prince] There will come a time when Harry Potter must be told something, but you must wait until Lord Voldemort is at his most vulnerable.
Severus Snape: Must be told what?
[As Dumbledore speaks, we see a worried Snape running inside the Potter home]
Albus Dumbledore: On the night Lord Voldemort went to Godric's Hollow to kill Harry, and Lily Potter cast herself between them, the curse rebounded. When that happened, a part of Voldemort's soul latched itself onto the only living thing that it could find: Harry himself. There is a reason Harry can speak with snakes. There is a reason he can look into Voldemort's mind. A part of Voldemort lives inside him.
Severus Snape: So, when the time comes...the boy must die?
Albus Dumbledore: Yes, yes, he must die.
[We see Snape arrive in Harry's bedroom and collapsing in horror at the sight of Lily's dead body]
Severus Snape: You've kept him alive so he can die at the proper moment. You've been raising him like a pig for slaughter!
Albus Dumbledore: Don't tell me now that you've grown to care for the boy. [Snape casts a deer Patronus, the same one that helped Harry find the Sword of Gryffindor in Part 1] Lily? [A crying Snape is shown holding Lily's body] After all this time?
Severus Snape: Always. So, when the time comes...the boy must die?
Albus Dumbledore: Yes, he must die. And Voldemort himself must do it. That is essential.

View Quote Sweeney Todd: And who may it be said is your intended, sir?
Judge Turpin: My ward... and pretty as a rosebud.
Sweeney Todd: Pretty as her mother?
Judge Turpin: Wha... what was that?
Sweeney Todd: [smiles] Nothing, sir. Nothing. May we proceed?

View Quote Judge Turpin: Oh yes... such practices. The Geishas of Japan, the concubines of Siam, the catamites of Greece, the harlots of India. I have them all here, drawings of them. Everything you've ever dreamed of doing with a woman. Would you like to see?
Anthony: I think there's been some mistake.
Judge Turpin: I think not. You gandered at my ward, Johanna. You gandered at her. YES, sir, you gandered!
Anthony Hope: I meant no harm.
Judge Turpin: Your meaning is immaterial. Mark me! If I see your face again on this street, you'll rue the day you were born.
