Top Ten Tuesday #19
Favorite Quotes from Harry Potter
Today’s prompt is “Book Quote Freebie” and I’ve decided to share my top 10 favorite quotes from Harry Potter. As many of my readers know, I struggle with mental illness–Borderline Personality Disorder, depression, anxiety, among other things. Harry Potter has been a huge comfort to me for the last 21 years. Because of Harry Potter, I learned to love reading. Many of the quotes I’m sharing have inspired me in some way or another. Here are my top ten favorite quotes from the series:
What about you? Which quotes made your list this week? Do we have any in common?
I learned in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) that life is full of dialectics or two opposing truths. In this case, the two opposing truths are: 1) I don’t agree with JKR’s stance regarding trans people, and 2) I still love Harry Potter.
These are all such great and seriously relatable quotes. Great list this week!
Thanks, Leah! 😀
What a great idea to use quotes from Harry Potter. There are so many good ones.
Thanks for visiting my TTT this week which is about lighthouses.
Thanks, Marianne! 😀 And, no problem. I loved your post about lighthouses.
Lots of good HP quotes! I liked your formatting of them. It’s pretty.
Thanks, Deanna! 😀
“Numbing the pain for a while will only make it worse in the future.” Should be tattooed on people’s arms who think that taking drugs is a good idea.
I think this quote applies to more people than those who take drugs. I often avoid things so I don’t have to feel the pain.
Like I told you on IG, I almost did this exact same theme! I just finished re-reading Sorcerer’s Stone for the who knows how many-eth time. This time, I listened to it on audio, which was doubly delightful. Like you, I find the HP series great for comfort reading. I will never not love it.
I actually don’t pay a lot of attention to what actors/writers/celebrities do and say outside of their craft. I can love a work of literature, art, music, theater, etc. without agreeing with what their creator does or says. The HP series preaches love, friendship, courage, hope, standing up to bullies, the triumph of good over evil, etc. and, for that, I will always love it.
Happy TTT!

Agreed. That’s why I’ll always love Harry Potter as well. The series preaches everything I value, even if the author no longer does. 🙂
Harry Potter made me a reader too. The first book came out when I was in elementary school. The last one came out when I was in college. I feel like I spent most of my life reading and rereading Harry Potter.
That’s awesome that you got to grow up with Harry Potter. I read the first book in 2001 after the first movie was released. I was 23 at the time.
These are some lovely quotes, and super inspiring! Kind of make me want to do a series re-read 🙂
Thanks, Lindsey! 😀 I’m glad you liked them. I still need to finish my reread that I started two years ago. 😂 I only have Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows left.
