It’s no secret that I am a huge Harry Potter fan. I adored reading the books growing up. The series is a big part of why I love reading and writing so much. I’m also super inspired by JK Rowling. I’m inspired by her journey and her talent.
Whether you’re a fan of the series or not, I guarantee you can still find inspiration in the words of these characters. Without further ado, here are my all-time favorite quotes from the Harry Potter books.

The Magic of JK Rowling
I continue to be in awe of Jo’s imagination and knack for crafting powerful words. I find that so many of the greatest nuggets of wisdom we get from Harry Potter is through Dumbledore. In a lot of ways, Jo and Dumbledore are one in the same.
Similarly, The Order of the Phoenix turned some great phrases. This installment of the series was, by all accounts, where the story turned and where the characters really had to grow up and lead.
