“Harry Potter was a highly unusual boy in many ways. For one thing, he hated the summer holidays more than any other time of the year. For another, he really wanted to do his homework but was forced to do it in secret, in the dead of night. And he also happened to be a wizard.”J.K. Rowling
“Extremely unusual though he was, at that moment Harry Potter felt just like everyone else- glad, for the first time in his life, that it was his birthday.”J.K. Rowling
“I'm not trying to be a hero, but seriously, Sirius Black can't be worse than Voldemort, can he?”Harry James Potter
“How thick would Harry have to be, to go looking for a nutter who wants to kill him?”Ron Weasley
“They make a fuss about Hogsmeade, but I assure you, Harry, it's not all it's cracked up to be. All right, the sweetshop's rather good, and Zonko's Joke Shop's frankly dangerous, and yes, the Shrieking Shack is always worth a visit, but really, Harry, apart from that, you're not missing anything.”Percy Weasley
“Mr. Moony presents his compliments to Professor Snape, and begs him to keep his abnormally large nose out of other people's business. Mr. Prongs agrees with Mr. Moony, and would like to add that Professor Snape is an ugly git. Mr. Padfoot would like to register his astonishment that an idiot like that ever became a professor. Mr. Wormtail bids Professor Snape good day, and advises him to wash his hair, the slimeball.”Marauder's Map
“'What would your head have been doing in Hogsmeade, Potter?' said Snape softly. 'Your head is not allowed in Hogsmeade. No part of your body has permission to be in Hogsmeade.'”Severus Snape
“'How extraordinarily like your father you are, Potter,' Snape said suddenly, his eyes glinting. 'He too was exceedingly arrogant. A small amount of talent on the Quidditch field made him think he was a cut above the rest of us too. Strutting around the place with his friends and admirers ... The resemblance between you is uncanny.'”Severus Snape
“I don't go looking for trouble, trouble usually finds me!”Harry James Potter
“'Did you see that, Something happened!'”Harry (practicing the Patronous Charm)
“I don't need help. It's obvious what this means. There's going to be loads of fog tonight.”Ron Weasley
“I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.”
“Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs~ Purveyors of Aids to Magical Mischief-Makersare proud to present THE MARAUDER'S MAP”Marauder's Map
“Mischief Managed!”Marauder's Map
“Never trust anything that can think for itself, if you can't see where it keeps its brain.”Arthur Weasley
“The consequences of our actions are always so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed.”Albus Dumbledore
“This is no time to be a gentleman! Knock her off her broom if you have to!”Oliver Wood

Anyone irrespective of their age, can read this series. Good for all ages 9+J.K. Rowling continues her great plotting and pacing, but this book's edgier themes will appeal more to older kids. For most of the school year, Harry believes he is marked for death and stalked by an escaped prisoner. He also battles a creature of kids' worst nightmares: the Dementors.
