“It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”  


Full Quote: “Exactly,” said Dumbledore, beaming once more. “Which makes you very different from Tom Riddle.

“Hermione, will you give it a rest with the elf!” said Ron.”  
“Sirius shook his head and said, “She’s got the measure of Crouch better than you have, Ron. If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.”

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Kingsley Shacklebolt

“I’d say that it’s one short step from ‘Wizards first’ to ‘Purebloods first,’ and then to ‘Death Eaters,’”  


Full Quote: “And what would you say, Royal, to those listeners who reply that in these dangerous times, it should be ‘Wizards first’?” asked Lee.  
“I’d say that it’s one short step from ‘Wizards first’ to ‘Purebloods first,’ and then to ‘Death Eaters,’” replied Kingsley. “We’re all human, aren’t we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving.”

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

“...we are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.”  


Full Quote: “Every guest in this Hall,” said Dumbledore, and his eyes lingered upon the Durmstrang students, “will be welcomed back here at any time, should they wish to come. I say to you all, once again — in the light of Lord Voldemort’s return, we are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided. Lord Voldemort’s gift for spreading discord and enmity is very great. We can fight it only by showing an equally strong bond of friendship and trust. Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.”

“...we are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.”

Harry Potter

“Hearing voices no one else can hear isn’t a good sign, even in the Wizarding world.”

Full Quote: “One can never have enough socks,” said Dumbledore. “Another Christmas has come and gone and I didn’t get a single pair. People will insist on giving me books.”

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

“Dumbledore says people find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right”

You've definitely never read the books. Maybe you've seen one of the movies.

Harry Who?

You've never read the books, but you have seen the movies. The book is always better than the movie.

Reading? No thanks.

You've read all the books once or twice, and you believe that is plenty. Why reread a book when you can read something new for the first time?

Purist

You've read all the books 3 or more times. You could probably quote the entire series.
