The universe of Harry Potter is not only one of the most famous and successful in literature and film, but he has always had the exact words to inspire his fans. J.K. Rowling developed a whole world of characters that we identify with and that make us dream big.
We are going to review some phrases that we have chosen from the Harry Potter saga, many of them great reflections on life and other equally profound matters.
We have chosen (just) 75, but there could be many more … As you can see, Dumbledore takes the palm for wisdom!
Sirius Black
The world is not divided into good and bad people; we all have light and darkness within us, what matters is the part we obey, that is who we really are.
If you want to know what someone really is, look at how they treat their inferiors, not their peers.
Hermione Granger
Just because you have the emotional depth of a teaspoon doesn’t mean we all have it.
I hope you are satisfied with what you have done. We could have died, or worse, been thrown out.
Come on, Harry! It is not Quidditch that arouses interest, but you! You have never caused so much attraction, but frankly, it does not surprise me, because you have never been so handsome.
Magic wands are only powerful if the wizards who use them are powerful, but some like to brag that theirs is the biggest and the best.
Albus Dumbledore
It is our choices, Harry, that show who we are, much more than our abilities.
Of course it’s happening inside your head, Harry, but why should that mean it’s not real?
Happiness can be found even in the darkest moments, provided we are able to use light well.
It is the fear of the unknown that we fear when we look at death and darkness, nothing more.
Have no pity on the dead, Harry. Have pity on the living, and above all on those who live without love.
It is not good to be carried away by dreams, and forget to live.
Words are, in my not so humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic, capable of inflicting damage and remedying it.
Love is a force that is more beautiful and more terrible than death.
The consequences of our actions are always so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future turns out to be a very difficult business in itself.
In every splendid moment of happiness there is a drop of poison: the certainty that the pain will return.
It takes great courage to face our enemies, but it takes even more courage to face our friends.
In dreams we find a world entirely ours. Let it plunge into the deepest ocean, fly over the highest cloud.
For a well prepared mind death is just the next great adventure.
It is time to choose between what is easy and what is correct.
It is not about your similarities, but about your differences.
People find it easier to forgive others for being wrong, than for being right.
Call him Voldemort, Harry. Always use the correct name of things. Fear of a name increases fear of the thing that is named.
Young people cannot know how old people think or feel, but old people are guilty if we forget what it means to be young.
You don’t realize that it doesn’t matter what you are by birth, but what you are by yourself!
Understanding is the first step to acceptance, and only by accepting can one recover.
Your inability to understand that there are things much worse than death has always been your greatest weakness.
Being the Master of Death is not achieving immortality. It is to accept death, this is to conquer it.
All the money and life one could wish for! The two things that most human beings would choose… The problem is that humans have the gift of choosing precisely the things that are worst for them.
We will be strong as we are united, weak as we are divided … the gift of spreading discord and enmity is very great … we can combat it by demonstrating an equally strong bond of friendship and trust …
Do you think that the dead whom we have loved abandon us completely? Don’t you think we remember them especially in the biggest troubles? Your father lives in you, Harry, and he manifests himself more clearly when you need him.
I’m not worried, Harry. I’m with you.
It was one of my most brilliant ideas and, between you and me, that is saying a lot.
And now, Harry, let’s go into the dark and go in search of adventure, that whimsical seducer.
The consequences of our actions are always so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future turns out to be a very difficult business in itself.
Fascinating creatures, the phoenixes. They can carry very heavy loads, their tears have healing powers, and they are very faithful pets.
Sometimes indifference and coldness do much more harm than avowed aversion.
I take my hat off to you, or I would if I wasn’t afraid to fill you with spiders.
Scars can be helpful. I have one on my left knee which is a perfect diagram of the London Underground.
Perhaps the most capable of exercising power are those who have never aspired to it. Those who, like you, are forced to hold the leadership and assume that responsibility and find with surprise that they know how to do it.
Your mother died to save you. If there is something that Voldemort cannot understand it is love.
Dulling the pain for a while would make you feel it more intensely later.

Severus Snape
Dumbledore: After all this time?
Snape: Always.
The mind is not a book that you can open when you feel like it or examine it when you feel like it. Thoughts are not engraved inside the skull for analysis by any invaders. The mind is a very complex and multilayered power.
If he has forbidden you, you should not speak. The words of the Dark Lord are Law.
Avada Kedavra!
How dare you use my own spells against me, Potter? I made them up! I am the Half-Blood Prince!

I am what I am and I have no shame. “Never be ashamed,” my old father used to say, “there are some who are going to use that against you, but with them it is not worth the trouble.”
There is no use sitting around worrying. What has to be will be, and we will face it when it comes.
Luna Lovegood
What we lose in the end always comes back to us … although sometimes not in the way we expect.
It is the first time that someone invites me to go to a party as friends! Did you dye your eyebrow for the party? Do you want me to dye one too?
The aurors participate in the Rotfang Conspiracy; I thought everyone knew that. They infiltrated the Ministry of Magic to overthrow him, combining dark magic with certain gum disease.
There are other ways to fly, not just with magic brooms.
In the end, everything is resolved. Always.
Lord Voldemort
Harry Potter, the boy who survived comes to die.
There is no right or wrong, there is only power and people too weak to seek it.
Greatness inspires envy, envy begets rancor, and rancor breeds lies.
Gina Weasly
The good thing about growing up with Fred and George is that you end up thinking that anything is possible if you have enough courage.
Dobby
What a beautiful place to be with friends. Dobby is happy to be with his friend … Harry Potter!
Harry Potter
I don’t go out there looking for trouble. As a general rule, problems come to me.
One of my best friends is the daughter of Muggles , and she is the best student in my class.
Sometimes you have no choice but to think of something other than your own safety! Sometimes you have no choice but to think about the good of everyone!
Minerva McGonagall
Dark and difficult times await us. We will soon have to choose between what is right and what is easy.
I think you’re in great health, Potter, so you’ll excuse me for not forgiving you tomorrow’s duties today. I assure you that if you die you will not need to deliver them.
Inside each girl sleeps a delicate swan longing to emerge and resume flight … And inside each boy there is a lion ready to jump.
This boy will be famous. There will not be a child in our world who does not know his name.
A letter? Dumbledore, do you really think you can explain everything in a letter? Those people will never understand Harry! He will be famous … a legend … I would not be surprised if this day was known in the future as Harry Potter day! They will write books about Harry … every child in the world will know his name.
Godric Gryffindor’s house has had the respect of the Wizarding World for almost ten centuries, and I will not allow that name to be tainted in one night … for behaving like a bunch of gross baboons.
Not many freshmen have faced a giant troll and lived to tell the tale.
Remus Lupine
The strength of your convictions determines your success, not the number of your followers.
One can live without a soul, as long as the brain and heart continue to function. But you cannot have self-awareness, memory, or anything. There is no chance of recovery. One just exists, like an empty shell.
Beatrix Lestrange
If I had children, I would be glad if they gave their lives for the Dark Lord!
Marauders
I solemnly swear that my intentions are not good.
