Harry Potter

"I'm beginning to understand that destiny isn't written. It's something we create."

"The school robes are rough compared to the Dursleys' hand-me-downs, but they mean something."

"I never thought I'd find happiness, but I'm finding it here with Ron and Hermione."

"Dumbledore seems to know things that haven't even happened yet."

"I've learned more about myself in a few months than in eleven years with the Dursleys."

"There's a reason I'm here at Hogwarts, even if I don't understand it yet."

"I'm not going to let anyone tell me who I should be or what I should do."

"Hermione's right. Knowledge is power, and power can help us do good in the world."

"I thought being famous would make me happy, but friendship makes me happier."

"The Mirror of Erised showed me what I wanted most, and it broke my heart."

"Sometimes the smallest acts of kindness mean more than you could ever know."

"I've got to believe that there's good in people, even in Snape."

"My scar connects me to something, but it doesn't define me."

"The wizarding world isn't perfect. There's darkness here too."

"I'm grateful for every moment I get to learn, because I was denied it for so long."

"Being the chosen one isn't what I wanted. I just wanted to be normal."

"I think people are better than they think they are. Everyone deserves a chance."

"There's magic in friendship, and it's stronger than any spell."

"I'm starting to believe that I could become someone great, not because of what I've done, but because of who I choose to be."

"The letters kept coming because I was meant to be here."

"I've learned that home isn't a place. It's the people who make you feel wanted."

"Every day I'm here is a day I'm not living in fear of the Dursleys."

"Dumbledore said that it takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies, but more to stand up to your friends."

"I want to be good at something, to prove that I'm worth something."

"The Sorcerer's Stone is out there, and strange things are happening, and I don't know what's real anymore."

"Ron and Hermione have shown me what real friendship looks like."

"I'm not the same person who got off the Hogwarts Express. I'm stronger now."

"There's something about magic that makes everything feel possible."

"I thought I was alone in the world, but I've discovered I never was."

"The sorting hat saw something in me that I didn't see in myself."
