“‘Ah! Bertie Bott’s Every-Flavour Beans! I was unfortunate enough in my youth to come across a vomit-flavoured one, and since then I’m afraid I’ve rather lost my liking for them – but I think I’ll be safe with a nice toffee, don’t you?’ ‘ARE YOU A WITCH OR NOT?'” (Image Source)Īnd Dumbledore’s rough experience with Bertie Bott’s Every-Flavour Beans: ‘Yes – of course – but there’s no wood!’ Hermione cried, writing her hands. What did Professor Sprout say? It likes the dark and the damp -‘ When Hermione completely crumbles under pressure: “‘I’ve decided to call him Norbert,’ said Hagrid, looking at the dragon with misty eyes. People will insist on giving me books.'”Īnd then there’s Hagrid and his dragon-fetish… ‘Another Christmas has come and gone and I didn’t get a single pair. ‘One can never have enough socks,’ said Dumbledore. ‘I? I see myself holding a pair of thick, woollen socks.’ “‘What do you see when you look in the Mirror?’ This moment when Dumbledore is the complete opposite of any book lover at Christmas ever: Flint nearly kills the Gryffindor seeker, which could happen to anyone, I’m sure…'” (Image Source) ‘I mean, after that open and revolting foul -‘ ‘So, after that obvious and disgusting bit of cheating -‘ “Lee Jordan was finding it difficult not to take sides. Slytherin Quidditch match when Lee Jordan is all of us being outraged by the underhand tactics of the Slytherins: ‘NOTHING! Ha haaa! Told you I wouldn’t say nothing if you didn’t say please! Ha ha! Haaaaaa!'” (Image Source)Īnd this moment from the Gryffindor vs. ‘Shan’t say nothing if you don’t say please,’ said Peeves in his annoying sing-song voice. ‘Don’t mess me about, Peeves, now where did they go?’ “‘Which way did they go, Peeves?’ Filch was saying. This example of Peeves messing with Filch: And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thank you!'” (Image Source) ‘Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. ‘I’ll kill Fred, he was going on about wrestling a troll.'” (Image Source)ĭumbledore’s words of wisdom for the beginning of the school year: “‘So we’ve just got to try on the hat!’ Ron whispered to Harry. ‘Once -‘Īnd Fred and George teasing Ron about the Sorting ceremony… ‘Hang on, I think I remember him saying something about it,’ said the other twin. ‘You should have said something, we had no idea.’ “‘Oh, are you a Prefect, Percy?’ said one of the twins, with an air of great surprise. ‘Only joking, I am Fred,’ said the boy, and off he went.” (Image Source) ‘Honestly, woman, call yourself our mother? Can’t you tell I’m George?’ ‘I’m not Fred, I’m George.’ said the boy. Then there’s this prime example of Fred and George teasing their mum: Meant to turn him into a pig, but I suppose he was so much like a pig anyway there wasn’t much left ter do.'” (Image Source) “‘Shouldn’ta lost me temper,’ he said ruefully, ‘but it didn’t work anyway. There’s this quote from Hagrid about his failed attempts to turn Dudley into a pig: ‘Oh, these people’s minds work in strange ways, Petunia, they’re not like you and me,’ said Uncle Vernon, trying to knock in a nail with the piece of fruit cake Aunt Petunia had just brought him.” (Image Source) “‘See,’ he explained to Aunt Petunia through a mouthful of nails, ‘ if they can’t deliver them they’ll just give up.’ I’m pretty sure they don’t want to be like you anyways, Dursleys: “Aunt Petunia often said that Dudley looked like a baby angel – Harry often said that Dudley looked like a pig in a wig.” (Image Source) He hurried to his car and set off home hoping he was imagining things, which he had never hoped before, because he didn’t approve of imagination.” (Image Source)Īnd Harry’s spot on description of Dudley: He also thought he had been called a Muggle, whatever that was. He had been hugged by a complete stranger. ? There’s this quote from the first chapter that perfectly sums up the intolerant character of Vernon Dursley: I found these hilarious, and I hope you get a good laugh out of them as well. That’s why today I thought I’d share with you fourteen of my favorite quotes from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.

I haven’t read the first few books in the series since I was quite young and, while I’ve always loved all of the Harry Potter books, I think I forgot just how funny they are.
