When J.K. Rowling created Harry Potter decades ago, she ensured a special bond with the young and orphan wizard; they shared a birthday, July 31. Today is the queen of fiction, JK Rowling’s 53rd birthday and Harry Potter’s 38th. While there is no better way to celebrate their birthday than spending your day with a ‘Harry Potter’ movie or book marathon, we are celebrating with the 10 most magical Harry Potter quotes to inspire all the Potterheads. Avada Kedavra “Understanding is the first step to acceptance, and only with acceptance can there be recovery.” (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) “People find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right.” (Dumbledore- The Half-Blood Prince) “If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals” (Sirius Black- The Goblet of Fire) “Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love” (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) “The world isn’t split into good people and Death Eaters. We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.” ( Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix) “The consequences of our actions are always so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed.” (Dumbledore-The Prisoner of Azkaban) “It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.”(The Philosopher’s Stone) “It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” (Chamber of Secrets) “What’s comin’ will come, an’ we’ll meet it when it does.”(The Goblet of Fire) “After all, to the well-organised mind, death is but the next great adventure.”(The Philosopher’s Stone)
