Lord Voldemort: Why do you live?
Harry Potter: Because I have something worth living for.
Ollivander: He's after you, Mr Potter. You really don't stand a chance.
Harry Potter: I suppose I'll have to kill him before he finds me.
Harry Potter: It seems, despite your exhaustive defensive strategies, you still have a bit of a security problem, Headmaster.
Harry Potter: I never wanted any of you to die for me.
Harry Potter: Come on Tom, let's finish the way we started. Together!
Harry Potter: Tell them how it happened that night. How you looked him in the eyes, a man who trusted you, and killed him!
Harry Potter: What's with the flower? Hagrid... Did you comb your hair?
Hagrid: You might want to try the same thing yourself now and again.
Ginny Weasley: He just asked Fleur Delacour to the ball. Actually he sort of screamed at her. It was a bit frightening.
Harry Potter: What did he do next?
Ron Weasley: What else? I ran for it!
[Ron unhappily looks at himself in the mirror. Harry walks in looking smart.]
Ron Weasley: What are those?
Harry Potter: My dress robes...
Ron Weasley: Those're all right! No lace, no dodgy little collar...
Harry Potter: Well, I expect yours are more traditional...
Ron Weasley: Traditional? They're ancient! I look like my great aunt Tessie! [Smells robe.] I smell like my great aunt Tessie! [Once again looks at himself in the mirror.] Murder me, Harry.
[Ron tells Harry that he warned him about the dragons.]
Harry Potter: Hagrid warned me about the dragons!
Ron Weasley: No! No! Remember... I told Hermione to tell you that Seamus told me that Dean was told by Parvari that Hagrid was looking for you. Seamus didn't really tell me anything. So it was really me all along! I thought you'd be able to figure it out from there.
Harry Potter: How could anybody figure that out? It's completely mental!
Professor McGonagall: Mr. Potter, are you and Miss Patil ready?
Harry Potter: Ready? For what?
Professor McGonagall: To dance! It's traditional for the three... Well, in this case, four champions to begin the dance. Surely I told you that?
Harry Potter: No.
Professor McGonagall: Oh... Well, now you know.
Harry Potter: You're being stupid.
Ron Weasley: Yeah, that's me. Harry Potter's stupid friend!
Hermione Granger: Promise you'll write me this summer; both of you!
Ron Weasley: I won't; you KNOW I won't.
Hermione: Harry will; won't you?
Harry Potter: Yeah; every week!
Harry Potter: [After reading Rita's notes.] Hey, my eyes aren't "glistening with the ghosts of my past"!
Hermione Granger: She's only interested in you because she thinks you're the Chosen One.
Harry Potter: But I AM the Chosen One.
Harry Potter: Did you know, sir? Then?
Albus Dumbledore: Did I know that I just met the most dangerous dark wizard of all time? No.
Harry Potter: Professor, you knew Voldemort. You were his teacher. What was he like?
Horace Slughorn: Dumbledore put you up to this, didn't he?
Ron Weasley: I'm in love with her!
Harry Potter: Alright. Fine. You're in love with her. Have you ever actually met her?
Ron Weasley: No. Can you introduce me?
Albus Dumbledore: You must be wondering why I brought you here.
Harry Potter: Actually sir, after all these years I just sort of go with it.
Dolores Umbridge: What? Do something! Tell them I mean no harm!
Harry Potter: I'm sorry Professor. I must not tell lies.
