There are some lines in the series that really seemed to stand out. They may not be the same for everyone, but everyone has at least one.
One of my fav lines in the whole series is not even a quote but merely a thought.
" There was a brief silence in which the distant echo of Hagrid smashing down a wooden front door seemed to reverberate through the intervening years." (chap 3, deathly hallows)
I don't know why but that line ready shook new the first time I every read it.

"Not my Daughter, you bitch!" Molly Weasley.
"Dobby has come to save Harry Potter and his friends" Dobby.
"Dobby never meant to kill Harry Potter, only maim or injure him" Dobby.

Dumbledore's wisdom ( I miss him), his paroles really speak to me and move me.
"I am not worried, Harry," said Dumbledore, his voice a little stronger despite the freezing water. "I am with you."
"Of course we still want to know you!" Harry said, staring at Hagrid. "You don't think anything that Skeeter cow - sorry, Professor," he added quickly, looking at Dumbledore.
"I have gone temporarily deaf and haven't any idea what you said, Harry," said Dumbledore, twiddling his thumbs and staring at the ceiling.
"To the well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure."
"It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."
"And now Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure."
"It’s the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more."
"It is important to fight, and fight again, and keep fighting, for only then can evil be kept at bay, though never quite eradicated."
"Voldemort himself created his own worst enemy, just as tyrants everywhere do! Have you any idea how much tyrants fear the people they oppress?"
"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all, those who live without love."
“It is a curious thing, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well.”
“Dark times lie ahead of us and there will be a time when we must choose between what is easy and what is right.”
“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.”

I know the movies aren't canon, but I liked some of the lines from the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone movie than the book:
"Five points will be awarded to each of you. For sheer dumb luck."
"Now, I'm going to bed before either of you come up with a clever plan to get us all killed...or worse, expelled." (I liked how the line was delivered in the movie).

The exchange between Ron and hermione in that screen is one of my all time fav screen in any of those movies. |

Thunder stole mine- Hermiones.
From the movies-
"Harry, The spiders want me to dance harry! I don't want to dance!" - Ron
"You tell those spiders Ron." - Harry.
Hmmm... Most of what Ayrine Sun said too, I love Dumbledore's words of wisdom.
Can't think of anything else at the moment.

Yeah, I love a lot of Dumbledore's lines too. I particularly liked these from him:
"Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it."
"It is my belief... that the truth is generally preferable to lies."
"Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open."
Then I loved all of these:
"Mudblood, and proud of it!" - Hermione, DH.
"Thoughts could leave deeper scarring than almost anything else." - Madam Pomfrey, OotP.
"No, I think I'll just go down and have some pudding and wait for it all to turn up... It always does in the end." - Luna, OotP.
"If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." - Sirius, GoF.

"I'll join you when hell freezes over! Dumbledore's army!"-I love Neville "YOU FILTHY HALF-BLOOD!"-I love Helena Bonham Carter, she's an amazing actress "Pity the living especially those that do not love"-a wise quote especially in our day and age. |

Dumdledores last line in the books:
"Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean it is not real?"
is really great and also a line that I think is only said in the movies by Kingsley "You may not like him Minister… but you cannot deny he's got style" but it is really delivered well.

That line that was said in the movie by Kingsley, was actually said in the book by Phineas Nigellus Black's portrait.

Well I just reread it. The Line is slightly different and not nearly as cool.

"You know, Minister, I disagree with Dumbledore on many counts... but you cannot deny he's got style..." - Phineas Nigellus
That how it specifically was in the book, an amazing way to end a chapter.

I think you are all forgetting the best line in the entire series
Lavender: "Oh Professor, look! I think I've got an unexpected planet! Oooh, which one's that, Professor?"
Professor Trelawney: "It is Uranus, my dear."
Ron: "Can I have a look at Uranus too, Lavender?"

That one took me a long time to see the subtle implications that it offered. I was rather disgusted at first when I first realized it, but it's quite amusing now.

Yeah, that one took me a while to figure out. It's hilarious now that I'm older.

That was a very common joke amongst my friends long before that book came out.
It's a stupid line but it's one that sticks in my head and always makes me laugh:
"Harry Potter was rapidly becoming obsessed with Draco Malfoy."
That way it's phrased like that makes it sound like he's got some kind of fangirl disease or something. I just get a picture of him turning rabid every time he sees Draco or fainting or glomping... or worse.

Ron is just lucky that Hermione was not in the class to hear it lol. Also i am kind of surprised that JKR's editors let her have that joke in the first place but i am not complaining as like i said it is a realistic joke for a teenage boy to make. |

For some reason, one of my favorite lines of all time is completely random; in the first book when Harry's on the platform and sees Neville and his grandmother, and all you hear is:
"Oh, Neville!"
Makes me crack up just thinking about it, don't ask me why.

My all time favorite
Horrible scene met his eyes.
Snape and Filch were inside, alone.
Snape was holding his robes above his knees.

I remember that! Then he realized Filch was just bandaging Snape's wounds. Now that was classic.

I wonder if JK did that purposely to give any adults who had to read the books to their kids a good laugh (remembering that at this point she didn't think adults would be reading it for themselves).
