I can remember the very first time I read "Harry Potter" like it was yesterday. I was this small second-grade girl jumping into this amazing world full of magic. Since it was Harry Potter's and J.K. Rowling's birthday on July 31, I thought I would dedicate an article to 21 of the best quotes. Also on July 31, the new book "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" was released. If you have not bought or read it yet I highly recommend it. I am talking five out of five stars good! Check out the list below to see some of the best Harry Potter quotes.

1.“You’re a wizard, Harry.” -- Hagrid

I chose this quote first because it is truly the sentence that started it all.

2. "You're the one who is weak. You will never know love or friendship. And I feel sorry for you." -- Harry Potter

To be honest this is by far my favorite quote. It is so honorable how much Harry valued love and friendship and this quote really highlights that.

3. "Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." -- Albus Dumbledore

4. “Not my daughter, you b***h.” -- Molly Weasley

When Molly Weasley said this to Bellatrix Lestrange she immediately became my idol, all I have to say is you go girl.

5. "What a beautiful place... to be with friends." -- Dobby the (free) House Elf as he is dying

This was one of the saddest deaths to me. Dobby was so loyal to his friends and was so happy to be with them. Even though it is a sad quote it is one of the best because of how sweet and pure it is.

6. "If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." -- Sirius Black

7."It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more." -- Albus Dumbledore

8. “I am not worried, Harry,” said Dumbledore, his voice a little stronger despite the freezing water. “I am with you.”

Every time I read or hear Dumbledore say this I just start crying because I know what comes next for him, even if he were meant to die.

9. "It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends." -- Albus Dumbledore

10.“I hope you're pleased with yourselves. We could all have been killed - or worse, expelled. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to bed." -- Hermione Granger

This quote describes Hermione Granger in a nutshell.

11.“When have any of our plans ever actually worked? We plan, we get there, all hell breaks loose.” -- Harry Potter

One of the most accurate quotes from the whole series.

12.“After all this time?”

“Always,” said Snape.

13. “We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are.” -- Sirius Black

14. “‘He is dead!’ Narcissa Malfoy called to the watchers.”

When Mrs. Malfoy lied to Voldemort and told him that Harry was actually dead, she single handedly changed the fate of the wizarding world.

15. ”It is our choices… that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities. -- Albus Dumbledore

16. "Why is it, when something happens, it is always you three?" -- Professor McGonagall

Also one of the most accurate quotes.

17. "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that." -- Albus Dumbledore

18. "You may not like him, Minister, but you can't deny: Dumbledore's got style." -- Kingsley Shacklebolt

This one of my favorite scenes because it makes me laugh every single time.

19. “Give her hell from us, Peeves.” -- Fred Weasley

This quote is awesome because Peeves never listened to students, until this moment. It still makes me mad that Peeves was never in the movies.

20. "I brought you here 16 years ago when you were no bigger than a bowtruckle. It seems only right that I should be the one to take you away now." -- Hagrid

With no doubt there are many more amazing quotes from Harry Potter that I did not include on this list, but I hope you enjoyed it. Feel free to comment what your favorite Harry Potter Quotes is below!
