"But he understood at last what Dumbledore had been trying to tell him. It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high. Some people, perhaps, would say there was little to choose from between the two ways, but Dumbledore knew -- and so do I, thought Harry, with a rush of fierce pride -- and so did my parents -- that there was all the difference in the world."
This is from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I think it's an awesome quote! =D

Fun question! Here's just a few of my many, many favorites:

"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live." ~ Dumbledore in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone"

"It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."~ Dumbledore in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"

"Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps its brain" – Arthur Weasley in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"

"You should write a book," Ron told Hermione as he cut up his potatoes, "translating mad things girls do so boys can understand them." ~ from "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"

“It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more” – Albus Dumbledore in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince"

"Give her hell from us, Peeves" - Weasley twins (can't remember which one right now... I'm thinking Fred) in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"

I just asked that question a few mins ago, lol.

ok here I go...

~~~~~

"Yes"

"Yes, sir"

"There's no need to call me 'sir', Professor"

~Harry & Snape ~HP and the order of the Phoenix

~~~~~

"Dumbledor's man through and through, aren't you, Potter?

"yeah, I am." said Harry. "Glad we straightened that out."

And turning his back on the Minister of Magic, he strode back toward the house.

~Harry & the Minister ~HP and the Half blood Prince

~~~~~

"You know, Minister, I disagree with Dumbledore on many counts...but you cannot deny he's got style..."

~ Phineas Nigellus Black ~ HP and the OoP

~~~~~

"What do you see when you look in the mirror?"

"I? I see myself holding a pair of thick, wollen socks."

Harry stared.

"One can never have enough socks. Another Christmas has come and gone and I didn't get a single pair. People will insist on giving me books."

~ Dumbledor & Harry ~ HP&tSS

~~~~~

"I suppose she thinks you don't forget your name. But we're not stupid - we know we're called Gred and Forge."

~Fred and Gorge ~HP&tSS

~~~~~

"I believe your friends Misters Fred and George Weasley were responsible for trying to send you a toilet seat. No doubt they thought it would amuse you."

~Dumbledore ~ HP&SS

~~~~~

"You'd think poeple had better things to gossip about," said Ginny, as she sat on the common room floor, leaning against Harry's legs and reading the Daily Prophet. "Three dementor attacks in a week, and all Romilda Vane does is ask me if it's true you've got a hippogriff tattoed across your chest."

Ron and Hermione both roared with laughter. Harry inored them.

"What did you tell her?"

"I told her it's a Hungarian Horntail," said Ginny, turning a page of the newspaper idly."Much more macho."

"Thanks," said Harry, grinning "And what did you tell her Ron's got?"

"A pygmy puff, but I didn't say where."

Ron scowled as Hermione rolled around laughing.

~ Harry & Ginny ~ HP&HBP

~~~~~

"Special discount to any Hogwarts students that swear they're going to use our products to get rid of this old bat." Gorge said, pointing to Umbrige.

"Give her hell from us Peeves!"

~Fred and Gorge ~ HP&OOP

~~~~~

"E for 'Exceeds Expectations.' And I've always thought Fred and I should've got E in everything, because we exceeded expectations just by turning up for the exams."

~ Fred and Gorge ~ HP&OoP (I think)

~~~~~

"Well, we've all turned up to learn from him, and now he's telling us he can't really do any of it," Smith said.

"That's not what he said," said Fred Weasley.

"Would you like us to clean out your ears for you?" inquired George, pulling a long and lethal-looking metal instrument from inside one of the Zonko's bags.

"Or any part of your body, really, we're not fussy where we stick this," said Fred.

~Fred and Gorge ~ HP&OOP

~~~~~

"What happened?"

"Cracked skull" said Madam Pomfrey, bustling up and pushing him back against his pillows. "Nothing to worry about, I mended it at once, but I'm keeping you in overnight. You shouldn't overexert yourself for a few hours."

"I don't want to stay here overnignt," said Harry angrily, sitting up and throwing back his covers. "I want to find McLaggen and kill him."

"I'm afraid that would come under the heading of 'overexertion' " said Madam Pomfrey, pushing him firmly back onto the bed....

~Harry ~ HP&HBP

~~~~~

"I never was a prefect myself," said Tonks brightly from behind Harry while everybody moved forward to get food. "My head of house said I lacked certain necessary qualities."

"Like what?" said Ginny, who was choosing a baked potato.

"Like the ability to behave myself," said Tonks.

Ginny laughed.

~ Ginny and Tonks ~HP&OOP

~~~~~

"Accio Brain!"

~Ron ~ HP&OoP

~~~~~

Never trust something if you can't see where it keeps its brain.

(sorry if this isn't exact, at work and can't check my books!)
