Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix quotes
Page 4 of 8This is the Black family tree. [motions to Bellatrix Lestrange] My deranged cousin. I hated the lot of them. My parents with their pure-blood mania.
Now listen to me. I want you to take the others and get out of here.
What? No. I'm staying with you--
You've done beautifully. Now let me take it from here.
Original Order of the Phoenix. Marlene McKinnon. She was killed two weeks after this was taken. Voldemort wiped out her entire family. Frank and Alice Longbottom.
Neville's parents.
They suffered a fate worse than death, if you ask me. It's been 14 years. And still a day doesn't go by I don't miss your dad.
It appears there is a connection between the Dark Lord's mind and your own. Whether he is, as yet, aware of this connection is for the moment unclear. Pray he remains ignorant.
You mean if he knows about it then, he'll be able to read my mind.
Read it, control it, unhinge it. In the past it was often the Dark Lord's pleasure to invade the minds of his victims, creating visions designed to torture them into madness. Only after extracting the last exquisite ounce of agony, only when he had them literally begging for death would he finally kill them. Used properly, the power of Occlumency will help shield you from access or influence. In these lessons I will attempt to penetrate your mind. You will attempt to resist. Prepare yourself! Legilimens!
You sent for me, Headmistress?
Snape, yes. The time has come for answers, whether they want to give them to me or not. Have you brought the Veritaserum?
I'm afraid you used up all my stores, interrogating students. The last of it on Miss Chang. Unless you wish to poison him - and I assure you I would have the greatest sympathy if you did - I cannot help you.
He's got Padfoot. He's got Padfoot at the place where it's hidden.
Padfoot? What is Padfoot? Where what is hidden? What is he talking about Snape?
No idea.
Pardon me, professor, but what exactly are you insinuating?
I am merely requesting that when it comes to my students, you conform to the prescribed disciplinary practices.
So silly of me but it sounds as if you're questioning my authority in my own classroom... [Takes a step up] Minerva.
Not at all, [Does the same] Dolores.. Merely your medieval methods.
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.
Disloyalty?
Things at Hogwarts are far worse than I feared. Cornelius will want to take immediate action.
Very well. You give me no choice, Potter. As this is a matter of Ministry Security, you leave me with... no other alternative. The Cruiciatus Curse ought to loosen your tounge.
That's illegal.
What Cornelius doesn't know won't hurt him.
Tell me what?
Well, if you won't tell her where it is, I will.
Where what is?
Dumbledore's secret weapon.
I've been watching them for weeks and see, Dumbledore's army. Proof of what I've been telling you right from the beginning, Cornelius.
All your fear mongering about You-Know-Who never fooled us for a minute. We say your lies for what they were, a smokescreen for your bid to seize control of the Ministry.
Naturally.
No, professor! He had nothing to do with it, it was me!
Most noble of you Harry to shield me, but as it's been pointed out the parchment clearly says Dumbledore's Army, not Potter's. I instructed Harry to form this organization and I, and I alone, am responsible for its activities.
Cornelius Fudge Dispatch a owl to the Daily Prophet if we hurry we should make the morning edition. Dawlish, Shacklebolt! You will escort Dumbledore to Azkaban, to await trial for conspiracy and sedition...
Ah, I thought we might hit this little snag. You seem to be laboring under the delusion I am going to - what was the phrase? "Come quietly." i have no intention of doing so. i will of course escape.
Enough of this! Take him!
well You may not like him, Minister, but you can't deny--Dumbledore's got style!
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!
It's not a lie, I saw him! I fought him!
Detention, Mr. Potter!
So according to you Cedric Diggory dropped dead of his own accord?
Cedric Diggory's death was a tragic accident.
It was murder. Voldemort killed him. You must know this--
Enough! Enough.
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.
That's likely.
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.
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.
Illuminating? What a load of waffle!
You applied first for the Defense Against the Dark Arts post, is that correct?
...Yes.
But you were unsuccessful?
...Obviously.
[Ron snickers just as Umbridge leaves. Snape whacks him over the head with a book]
You have no business here, centaur. This is a Ministry matter.
Lower your weapons. I warn you! Under the law, as creatures of near-human intelligence--
How dare you! Filthy halfbreed! Incarcerous!
Please, please stop it! Please
Enough! I will have order!
You animals! Do you know who I am?!!
It's not his fault, he doesn't understand!
[Grawp get's hit by an arrow and drops Umbridge. The centaurs pick her up.] Umbridge': Potter, do something! Tell them I mean no harm!
I'm sorry, Professor. I must not tell lies.
You will please copy the approved text four times to insure maximum pretention. There will be no need to talk.
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?
There's nothing in here about using defensive spells?
Using spells? [laughs] Why I can't imagine why you would need to use spells in my classroom.
We're not gonna use magic?
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.
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!
And how is theory supposed to prepare us for what's out there?
There is nothing out there dear. Who would you imagine would want to attack children like yourself?
Oh, I don't know, maybe Lord Voldemort?
