View Quote [announcing to all the Hogwarts students during the House Cup ceremony] Another year gone.

View Quote Hagrid: Yer a wizard Harry.
Hagrid: (sees Harry trying to spit out the Golden Snitch) Looks like he's gonna be sick!
Malfoy: [of Neville and his Remembrall] Maybe if the fat lump had given this a squeeze, he would have remembered to land on his fat arse!
Dudley: Daddy's gone mad, hasn't he?
Professor McGonagall: Five points each to Gryffindor... for sheer dumb luck!
Dumbledore: It does not do to dwell on dreams Harry, and forget to live.
Dumbledore: To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure
Dumbledore: The truth is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with caution.

View Quote Dumbledore: [to a cat] I should have known that you would be here.... Professor McGonagall.
[The cat turns into McGonagall.]
McGonagall: [tearfully] Good evening, Professor Dumbledore. Are the rumours true, Albus?
Dumbledore: I'm afraid so, Professor. The good and the bad.
McGonagall: And the boy?
Dumbledore: Hagrid is bringing him.
McGonagall: Do you think it wise to trust Hagrid with something as important as this?
Dumbledore: Ah, Professor. I would trust Hagrid with my life.
[Hagrid appears on a flying motorcycle]
Hagrid: Professor Dumbledore, sir. Professor McGonagall.
Dumbledore: No problems, I trust, Hagrid?
Hagrid: No, sir. Little tyke fell asleep just as we were flying over Bristol. [hands Dumbledore a bundle – Harry] Try not to wake him. There you go.
[Dumbledore takes Harry and heads for the Dursleys]
McGonagall: Albus, do you really think it's safe, leaving him with these people? I have watched them all day, they're the worst sort of... Muggles imaginable. They really are–
Dumbledore: The only family he has.
McGonagall: This boy will be famous! There won't be a child in our world that doesn't know his name!
Dumbledore: Exactly. He's far better off growing up away from all of that... until he is ready. [Dumbledore places Harry on the doorstep. Hagrid snivels.] There, there, Hagrid. It's not really goodbye, after all. [Hagrid nods. Dumbledore places a letter on Harry.] Good luck, Harry Potter.

View Quote English Bob: [discussing the assassination of President Garfield] If you were to try to assassinate a king, sir, the, how shall I say it, the aura of royalty would cause you to miss. But, a president, [chuckles] I mean, why not shoot a president?

View Quote English Bob: A plague on you. A plague on the whole stinking lot of ya, without morals or laws. And all you whores got no laws. You got no honor. It's no wonder you all emigrated to America, because they wouldn't have you in England. You're a lot of savages, that's what you all are. A bunch of bloody savages. A plague on you. I'll be back.

View Quote Little Bill Daggett: It's been a long time, Bob. You run out of ****?
English Bob: Little Bill, well I thought you was, well I thought that you were dead. I see you've shaved your chin whiskers off.
Little Bill Daggett: I was tasting the soup two hours after I ate it.
English Bob: Well, actually, what I heard was that you fell off your horse, drunk of course, and that you broke your bloody neck.
Little Bill Daggett: I heard that one myself, Bob. Hell, I even thought I was dead 'til I found out it was just that I was in Nebraska.
