HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE - J.K. ROWLING

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - Pg 297

"To one as young as you, I'm sure it seems incredible, but to Nicolas and Perenelle, it really is like going to bed after a very, very long day. After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure."

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - Pg 257

"Do you not see that unicorn?" Firenze bellowed at Bane. "Do you not understand why it was killed? Or have the planets not let you in on that secret? I set myself against what is lurking in this forest, Bane, yes, with humans alongside me if I must."

  "Sir--Professor Dumbledore? Can I ask you something?"  "Obviously, you've just done so," Dumbledore smiled. "You may ask me one more thing, however."  "What do you see when you look in the mirror?"  "I? I see myself holding a pair of thick, woolen socks."  Harry stared.  "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.

"Strange how nearsighted being invisible can make you," said Dumbledore, and Harry was relieved to see that he was smiling.

The Potters smiled and waved at Harry and he stared hungrily back at them, his hands pressed flat against the glass as though he was hoping to fall right through it and reach them. He had a powerful kind of ache inside him, half joy, half terrible sadness.

Harry watched Hagrid getting redder and redder in the face as he called for more wine, finally kissing Professor McGonagall on the cheek, who, to Harry's amazement, giggled and blushed, her top hat lopsided.

   The common room was packed and noisy. Everyone was easting the food that had been sent up. Hermione, however, stood alone by the door, waiting for them. There was a very embarrassed pause. Then, none of them looking at each other, they all said "Thanks," and hurried off to get plates.    But from that moment on, Hermione Granger became their friend. There are some things you can't share without ending up liking each other, and knocking out a twelve-foot mountain troll is one of them.

I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins. 

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - Pg 133

Professor Binns had been very old indeed when he had fallen asleep in front of the staff room fire and got up next morning to teach, leaving his body behind him.

Perhaps Harry had eaten a bit too much, because he had a very strange dream. He was wearing Professor Quirrell's turban, which kept talking to him, telling him he must transfer to Slytherin at once, because it was his destiny. Harry told the turban he didn't want to be in Slytherin; it got heavier and heavier; he tried to pull it off but it tightened painfully.

Everybody finished the song at different times. At last, only the Weasley twins were left singing along to a very slow funeral march. Dumbledore conducted their last few lines with his wand and when they had finished, he was one of those who clapped loudest.    "Ah, music," he said, wiping his eyes. "A magic beyond all we do here!"

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - Pg 120

A horrible thought struck Harry, as horrible thoughts always do when you're very nervous. 

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - Pg 118

The hat seemed to be asking rather a lot; Harry didn't feel brave or quick-witted or any of it at the moment. If only the hat had mentioned a house for people who felt a bit queasy, that would have been the one for him. 

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - Pg 118

You might belong in Hufflepuff,Where they are just and loyal,Those patient Hufflepuffs are trueAnd unafraid of toil;

Maybe they had to try and get a rabbit out of it, Harry thought wildly, that seemed the sort of thing--noticing that everyone in the hall was now staring at the hat, he stared at it, too. 

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - Pg 86

"Don' you worry, Harry. You'll learn fast enough. Everyone starts at the beginning at Hogwarts, you'll be just fine."

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - Pg 82

Harry felt strangely as though he had entered a very strict library; he swallowed a lot of new questions that had just occurred to him and looked instead at the thousands of narrow boxes piled neatly right up to the ceiling. For some reason, the back of his neck prickled. The very dust and silence in here seemed to tingle with some secret magic. 

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - Pg 57

"Some say he died. Codswallop, in my opinion. Dunno if he had enough human left in him to die."

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - Pg 48

Harry looked up at the giant. He meant to say thank you, but the words got lost on the way to his mouth, and what he said instead was, "Who are you?"
