The Best Quotes From 'Harry Potter'
independent.co.uk

Since 2007 when the last book was published and since 2011 when the last movie was released, fans have been under the impression that the "Harry Potter" series was finished, that no further magic would be performed. Throughout her seven books she made people fall in love with Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, Hermione Granger and Albus Dumbledore. The movies were also fantastic; they brought to life the magical feasts, quidditch matches, the battles, and the friendships that took place throughout Harry's journey at Hogwarts. However, when J.K. Rowling announced a stage play, called "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child", would be hitting theaters in 2016 that magic was reintroduced to every Harry Potter fan once again. With its release date of July 31, 2016 coming up quickly, here are quotes from each of the books that I believe are some of J.K. Rowling's best work.


Book 1: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

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


Book 2: "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"

"It's our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." - Albus Dumbledore


Book 3: "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban"

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


Book 4: "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"

"Want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." - Sirius Black


Book 5: "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"

"We can't choose our fate, but we can choose others. Be careful in knowing that." - Albus Dumbledore


Book 6: "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince"

"Age is foolish and forgetful when it underestimates youth." - Albus Dumbledore


Book 7: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"

"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love." - Albus Dumbledore

Each book Rowling wrote was incredible alone, and even more impressive once they all come together at the end of the series. The words she wrote touched many in and outside the wizard world. The cast she chose for the movies fantastically represented the characters she described in her novels. I can't wait to see what kind of magic this new installment has for each and every one of us at the end of the month. And I can't wait to see who the cast of characters are in the spirit and in the stage play itself. Unfortunately we all just have to wait a little longer, but until then, "I solemnly swear I'm up to no good."

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
