This quote was spoken by Dobby the house‑elf in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 in Malfoy Manor. The quote was said after Bellatrix Lestrange was struck by a chandelier that Dobby had dropped. As Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Dobby attempt to flee the manor, this scene takes place.

This quote revealed Dobby's internal turmoil and his desire to defend his friend while attempting to avoid murdering, even in a life-or-death crisis. The scene was sorrowful, freakish, and courageous. The quote tells us that even small, gentle creatures may have great emotions and that great deeds can go unappreciated.

7. “Of course it is happening inside your head...not real?”

This quote was said in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. In a hallucinatory scenario known as King's Cross, where Harry Potter is torn between life and death, Albus Dumbledore says this to him. Harry lies wounded after Voldemort's spell, boasting that the curse did not work, and discovers Dumbledore in a dazzling white region. Harry asks whether it is real or just a product of his imagination. Dumbledore responds by saying that just because it is in his head does not mean that it is not real.

The fans love this line because it is deep and mysterious. It addresses memory, imagination, and the purpose of life. This sentence only causes us to believe that whatever feeling, dream, or memory we might be having can be real and very potent.

6. “Always.”

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, Severus Snape says, "Always." Snape said this after Albus Dumbledore asked,

"After all this time?"

Snape's intense, enduring love for Lily Potter is powerfully shown in this line. This quote illustrates that despite the passage of time and the various circumstances in their lives, Snape's Patronus (a doe similar to Lily's) remains a consistent symbol of his enduring connection to her. The quote also signifies that his love for Lily was a serious and enduring commitment that persisted throughout his life rather than a passing feeling.

5. “Things we lose have a... we expect.”

In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Luna Lovegood said this to Harry Potter. After Harry's terrible experience with the Death Eaters at the Ministry of Magic, when he lost his godfather, Sirius Black, she tells him this. Luna makes this statement to console Harry following his loss, implying that things he has lost may reappear in surprising ways.

Harry's journey includes learning about his power and legacy, as well as the loss of his parents. He is temporarily reunited with people he has lost due to the Resurrection Stone. This experience can be connected to a particular quote that encapsulates these themes.

4. “I am what I am, an’ I’m not ashamed…”

In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Hagrid said this quote. Hagrid uses it as a way of saying he is proud of his weird nature and does not see anything wrong with that. According to the quote, we should never feel guilty about who we are. Additionally, the people we choose to surround ourselves with must be able to accept us for who we are. Otherwise, they are not worthy of our presence.

In the quote, the use of self-acceptance and pride is common when it comes to views about what others expect of a person and also how they judge them. In terms of accepting oneself and the rest of the world, it offers sensible counsel that demonstrates Rowling's overall ethos.

3. “It is our choices, Harry...our abilities.”

Albus Dumbledore said this quote to Harry Potter in the film Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. The line is said by Dumbledore when Harry has just come out of the Chamber of Secrets.

Harry has a problem because he shares some resemblances with Tom Riddle (Lord Voldemort), and he feels that he is doomed to evil since he is related to Tom Riddle. Dumbledore emphasizes that a person's true character is determined by what they choose rather than their powers or potential.

2. “It takes a great deal of bravery....our friends.”

Albus Dumbledore said this in the film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, and it was directed to Neville Longbottom. It is said that during the year-end supper, following Dumbledore's awarding of points to various pupils based on their conduct. He admits that Neville was bold enough to try to stop Harry, Ron, and Hermione from leaving the Gryffindor Tower, even though his attempt was unsuccessful.

The quote challenges the conventional wisdom that bravery is limited to dealing with external threats (the enemy). It describes the courage required to confront your people, even if doing so means jeopardizing relationships.

1. “It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.”

In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Albus Dumbledore said the line to Harry Potter. The quote is essential because it warns Harry and the audience about the dangers of becoming so preoccupied with aspirations or objectives that one cannot live in the present moment.

Dumbledore makes this remark as Harry becomes fixated on the Mirror of Erised, which allows one to gaze into the mirror and see what one most desires. The mirror lures Harry by promising him his parents. Dumbledore explains to him that it is not good to live in the past or the future at the cost of today.
