Welcome to Thursday Quotables! This feature is the place where you highlight a great quote, line or passage you've discovered in a book you're currently reading. Whether it's something heart-warming, heart-breaking, funny or inspiring, Thursday Quotables is where my favourite line(s) of the week will be, and I invite you to join in! It's hosted by Lisa at BookShelf Fantasies, so be sure to check her out :)
The book I'm reading this week is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K Rowling. Do I even need to tell anyone what it's about? A boy wizard goes to wizard school called Hogwarts where amazing and wonderful adventures are just beginning! I'm re-reading the Illustrated version and it's just awesome-sauce with an extra serving of awesomeness.
Most people will know these quotes as they're so famous and amazing, but I don't care, I love them. First we have some wise Dumbledore:
“It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.”
And one of my favourite quotes from Hermione, aka Boss Witch:
“I hope you're pleased with yourselves. We could all have been killed - or worse, expelled. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to bed.”
And finally one from my favourite literary twins in the world:
“Now, you two – this year, you behave yourselves. If I get one more owl telling me you've – you've blown up a toilet or –"
"Blown up a toilet? We've never blown up a toilet."
"Great idea though, thanks, Mum.”
"Blown up a toilet? We've never blown up a toilet."
"Great idea though, thanks, Mum.”
