Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone – Movie Quotes

It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.

It does not to dwell on dreams, Harry, and forget to live.

What happened in the dungeons between you and Professor Quirrell is a secret.
So, naturally, the whole school knows.

— Stop moving, both of you. This is Devil's Snare. You have to relax. If you don't, it will only kill you faster.
— Kill us faster?! Oh, now I can relax!

I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses. I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory and even put a stopper in death.

Clearly, fame isn't everything...is it, Mr. Potter?

— But I've never even played Quidditch. What if I make a fool of myself?
— You won't make a fool of yourself. It's in your blood.

That's right. Now, if you two don't mind, I'm going to bed before either of you come up with another clever idea to get us killed...or worse, expelled!

— Thank you for that assessment, Mr. Weasley. Maybe if I were to transfigure Mr. Potter and yourself into a pocketwatch, maybe one of you would be on time.
— We got lost.
— Then perhaps a map? I trust you don't need one to find your seats.

— Oh, listen, Harry. lf that dolt of a cousin of yours, Dudley, gives you any grief...you could always threaten him with a nice pair of ears to go with his tail.
— But we're not allowed to do magic away from Hogwarts. You know that.
— l do. But your cousin don't, do he?

— Plenty of courage, l see. Not a bad mind, either. There's talent, oh, yes. And a thirst to prove yourself. But where to put you?
— Not Slytherin, not Slytherin!
— Not Slytherin, eh? Are you sure? You could be great, you know. lt's all here, in your head. And Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness, no doubt about that. No? Well, if you're sure. Better be... Gryffindor!

— I'm telling you, it's spooky. She knows more about you than you do.
— Who doesn't?

— How many are there?
— Thirty-six. Counted 'em myself.
— Thirty-six?! But last year last year I got thirty-seven!!
— Yes, well, some of them are quite a bit bigger than last year!
— I don't care how big they are!
